    Of course, if you were serious about your privacy, why would you be using these apps?

    Unfortunately it was decision between giving your data to BigTech vs abandoning communities or missing events. A lof of music bands and local places used to only have Facebook page or other pages was not up-to-date etc
    Personally I decided to use account on fake name, and always through web browser. Mostly thrugh profile solely dedicated for Facebook log in.
