I want to join a community garden but all of the ones in my area organise using Facebook ffs I hate social media

just show up every day and start eating everything there until they put you to work

You WILL join the Meta™ network, and you WILL get spied on, you MUST accept the targeted advertisements and MUST accept all your personal info being sold for pennies on the dollar to any entity that wants it. :panopticon:

Guess how most communist and anarchist organizations in Poland organize 🫠

ugh right there with you

I deleted my Facebook account 10 years ago, before it had completely taken over interpersonal communication in my rural area, and it was one of the best things I've ever done for my mental health. The improvement was dramatic, obvious, and immediate.

Now most people around here use Messenger for chatting instead of texting, Buy-Sell-Trade groups and Marketplace instead of Craigslist for secondhand stuff, Events to publicize community projects, etc etc etc

It is entrenched here. It's a bummer.

I'd say to create some anonymous account just for gardening but you can't even do that anymore cos the stupid website locks ur account if you don't give them your fuckin ID.
