    I’m sure I’m not the only one in this boat, but Facebook is just about the only way I can communicate with most of my family right now. They don’t really use email, and other social media is FAR beyond their technical capabilities. I don’t understand why this is, but it is the case nonetheless.

      On the topic of staying on Facebook for Messenger, I’ve taken the stance that asks ‘why is it up to me to use a proprietary and ad-driven service to stay in touch but others’ refusal to email is tolerated.’ My family has my email address, they can contact me if they want.
