Sorry for the probably stupid question: what use case or feature does Facebook provide that you use with your parents that is also a feature of Discord? Messanger?
Mostly messenger, yeah. We use that instead of texting. I'm hoping that moving to Discord will make things a little easier to organize family gatherings and stuff.
Ok, I understand that. We have that issue with WhatsApp. Solved it by giving them both iPhones and now using iMessage 😂
For bigger communities we try to establish Signal.
I find myself working on solutions for the same problem. For now I have deactivated my Facebook and Instagram accounts. Step 2 is the finding an agreeable Messenger replacement.
What I am finding as the biggest downside at the moment is the LGSes in my area use Facebook almost exclusively.
Same, but replace parents with "my MLA" who is very anti social media and not wrong about that, but reps an area that mostly senior citizens and farmers and they aint hopping ship.
I mean no disrespect but is the reason you or your parents need messenger or discord is so you don’t have to have phones near your PCs? Because personally I just wish people would text or call if they can’t use whatever messenger I use.
