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.

2. Google obituaries
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.
@evacide I mostly use mine to keep up with the Marmora and Lake county group
@evacide I used to be able to find estate sales on Craigslist. I'm still pretty bitter towards Facebook for ruining that (and democracy).
huh. i keep linkedin for the same reasons. ;)
@bencurthoys My drug of choice is large, high-quality, expensive furniture.
@evacide
Most of them have my email and could easily follow up a death announcement with a mass email to give everyone a heads up, but no. So I find out when I message them some upbeat inquiry on how their family holiday went. Ouch.
@evacide I use it to see what food truck is at which brewery. I’d happily visit a webpage for this information
@Dave3307 @evacide my partner works for a craft brewery with a beer truck that goes to various local parks with food trucks and live music. He used to keep both their website and social media accounts up to date with the schedule of where and when, because not everyone wants to look at Facebook or Instagram.
@evacide Just listed 2 leather sofas there and a barn was burning in the Village here (Pop 5000) live Reports are there. But it ist a little Like Twitter: i Go there only on occasion.
@evacide Facebook-listed estate sales — two birds with one stone
And if you see somebody died, you might have a shot at their furniture. Synergy!
