My country heavily uses Facebook for all events. Sadly I can't find cool events without it. Even leftist groups are heavily on Meta, which I can't understand....

Does anyone have experience pushing to get communities off of Meta? Suggestions?

I'm in a NATO "ally" to the US country

I'm the only one in my band that doesn't use Facebook and arranging a "play-date" can be a challenge, people often forget that I don't see everything they post, and I'm often the last one to get notified about changes to our schedule or set.

I've given up on trying to convert them, but try to lead by example.
Everything that can be done on Facebook, can be done elsewhere, and I refuse to be bullied into supporting a horrible company like Facebook.
