Far too many people, myself included, relied on for

Now this roll out of disabling accounts and asking for video selfies to prove identity are going to leave a lot of those people in a quandary. Submit a selfie or lose connection to community.

I refuse, and i'm not sad about no longer being able to access facebook because I am done with the trolls and bots. But I am devastated that i've instantly lost connection to local groups and old friends with whom I never exchanged numbers, because we relied on facebook.

I dont know how to build community without it.

I mean I know i'll get over it, i'll find other ways of connecting and i'm sure I can ask my eldest daughter to message old friends with my number for me, but right now this feels incredibly cruel and intentional. Meta know that people will panic about losing their communities and connections and upload those video selfies.
