In small town America, if you’re not on Facebook, you simply don’t exist. Deleting my Facebook account exiled me from town gossip, community events, and even basic recognition. I became a ghost in my own life.
The context is there and it is true. My village government, the library, the schools don’t post updates to their websites, it’s all facebook. The local booster clubs and social groups are all on facebook. We do push them to post in real outlets too, and one local booster club publishes a Newsletter, but the default is facebook.

I know it’s difficult but just call a friend who is on facebook in the group for updates.
Enough people start doing that and the group will realize there’s a demand for off Facebook communication.
Even mastadon would be sufficient. But a signal group or even sms is enough.
