      lol what a silly statement.

      I like being up to date on what my city councillors are doing, events my local cafes host, local art exhibits, etc. Things that have tangible benefits to my community.

      If you can convince them all to share that content on Mastodon be my guest :)

        I’m going to say this in the nicest way possible- get up off your behind and attend council meetings in person, walk around your neighborhood, do anything except getting all your local news from Facebook. It’s literally there to show you what they want you to see, not what you want to see. Meta as a company is awful, and the algorithms they use to deliver content and advertising to you are a malignant tumor on society. Any information you get from it can easily be ascertained by walking around your neighborhood.

        Right. You have all the content there but fitted with more horrible tracking mechanism. Choose between it.

        As a more practical answer, use your facebook as a webpage(Don’t use app on phone) on some pretty privacy friendly web browser. Or maybe there are bots which scrapes the content and gives it to you
