I still have a Facebook account because I occasionally need to buy secondhand furniture or see which of the people that I used to know is dead now.

And if you see somebody died, you might have a shot at their furniture. Synergy!

Zuck has that much power because of how many FB accounts there are. I don't want to give that away to anyone anymore. I really miss my old bird nerd group, but it's a small sacrifice.

@adamantichrist It's nice to know that this works for you. If this was a viable alternative for me, I would already be doing it.
