Lol my guy, I have actually completed an emigration process. Comparing it to finding a different free communication service is fucking bonkers. Facebook doesn't hold the keys to anything. If the users leave, they have nothing. Finding a replacement is practical and its not anything like emigrating to another country, holy shit.
My brother in Christ, finding a different service isn't the difficultly. It's moving everyone else. Fb holds the keys to a network of literally billions of ppl, which for many is the only feasible way of keeping in contact with their loved ones. Yes if everyone just left the enshittificated network suddenly and all went to the same place.. but you need incentives, alternatives and coordination. "if everyone would just.." could solve a lot of problems, but we need to find realistic pathways to get there. Also your tone sucks, maybe open a window and let some fresh air in. I'll do the same.
I will direct you to the point at which you entered this convo.
It is asinine to blame Facebook for checks notes your cousin's tech illiteracy.
Are you uncomfortable with metaphors or what?
How would you describe this?
I don't know, maybe silly? Why do you have an account that you do not want?
