Reduce your dependence on Facbook. Facebook has done more to increase the spread of racism and support for police brutality than any other platform. Facebook also harms user privacy. To avoid that, I’ve setup a Mastodon server and anyone who is interested can create an account here for free. No ads, no facebook control over users/data.
