Only have messenger left. Considering doing another push to convince my stubborn friends to go on signal. Then I can finally be rid of meta
I haven't been on in years. At first everyone said I was left out, IDC, text me better than fb/meta. I've been sm free since ~2016. It works just fine.
Marketplace is so active, it's the one thing I'm tempted to use it for. But I wont install their apps on my phone
This is the way for me too. Disciplined web use, no apps.
It's active, but poorly policed and filled with scams. I've almost given up on it.
