🤷 Does anyone here even use Facebook?

I think a lot of people use it out of necessity

It's hard to dump a messaging platform if you need to talk to certain people

Yea i prefer other platforms but all my friends use it, its the only real way to talk to my mom remotely (shes deaf) and for all its faults its consistent and reliable

excuse my curiosity, i don't use facebook. What makes facebook a helpful messenger for a deaf user?

[-] essteeyou@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I assume they mean that making a regular phone call is not an option, and FB Messenger is better than SMS. Just speculation, though.

But there so many other and much better options than Messenger for text chat, so I still do not understand the need.

I deactivated Facebook proper years ago but still have Messenger active due to one group chat and the ability to contact many people I don't have other contact info for. I don't install it on my phone or access it on my desktop- only have it on my old iPad. Check it maybe once or twice a month.

If I ever get a new iPad, I'm probably going to cut it off for good.
