Meta is the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, What’s App, and Threads. I am on all three platforms and I won’t be dropping any of them. I rely upon Facebook to keep up with family, friends, and other stuff I am interested in. Threads, the Twitter replacement is a great place of connection and communication. I stay connected to pro wrestling there. Instagram has a purpose for visual expression and communication.

Yes, Meta’s chief Mark Zuckerberg’s business and ethical dealings are very suspect. We have seen what he has done in eliminating fact-checking and DEI initiatives. Sure some of his decisions are disappointing. The platforms his company has created are vital for many to keep in touch. Sure I can moderate my usage and tweak the settings so that I won’t bothered with stuff I don’t want to see.

Until someone can create a viable replacement with the same social reach as Facebook then I won’t be leaving. Nor will I leave Instagram or Threads. Hopefully, in the coming years, we will have that option.
