She's not very progressive if she uses Facebook.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I have asked her to get off of Facebook for awhile, but she is reluctant because her whole family uses it as their primary form of communication.

I ditched Facebook finally during COVID. I had already known it was a garbage platform, but I was feeling similarly because a lot of people I knew used it. The same thing happened to my feed though and I started getting a ton of anti-vax content.

What was worse is because I am pro-health and medical technology I advocated for people to be safe. I started getting death threats by friends of friends. I was flabbergasted and decided to delete my account then and there. If Facebook could turn people anti-vax and pro-murder I had to leave.
