But Meta forces you to have an account to view content, which is already privacy-invading enough.

And shame on the businesses and organizations who only use these platforms to update their customers/members.

We need a nitter for everything.

We have a lot of them tbf https://libredirect.github.io/

I use lots of these but I don't think we have one for Instagram though, no?

There used to be one called Bibliogram, but they stopped development a while ago https://bibliogram.art/

I use Picuki for it.

It's like every business in my city, I hate it. Want to check out a restaurants menu before trying it out? Look on Facebook. Need to call a business or check holiday hours? Contact info is on Facebook. Makes not having Facebook a huge barrier. Heck even my union basically only communicates over Facebook aside from the occasional email. 😑

I can't join our local BIKE CLUB because they only post events, and group happenings on FB, and I refuse to get back on that platform.

Any company or org that claims to be accessible needs to stop posting exclusively on locked-in social media platforms. That's the opposite of accessible.

Ugh right? I'd love to join a local plant club but they're all only on Facebook.

My thoughts and frustrations exactly.
