Who is still on Facebook anyways?

I know you’re sounding edgy, but the answer is “a lot”. My entire family and I have probably a good 30+ friends that are active (weekly or more) on it.

I’ve considered containerizing it somewhere just for the sake of selling and buying car parts and ‘the like’, but I have no active intention to participate beyond that and family matters.
Fact is, I’d be fine if that was all Facebook was, that seems reasonable. It’s the endless patronizing propaganda, tracking, ads and arguing bots everyone takes issue with. If they just didn’t suck, they’d be fine.

My family has learned that I am not on Facebook. I stay out of the loop. It’s nice and drafty.
