I need someone to explain to me why I should be guilted into staying on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

By this logic I should be on truth social trying to make it “a better place.” This is fucking stupid. The sites are built on rage bait, The algorithms want to keep you angry and fighting with people online. You are fighting against massive companies who have weaponized your data against you for the purpose of making sure you hang around. The only correct decision is to leave.

We need to build our own spaces and defend them.

I am honestly a bit impressed by how you managed to read all this into OP's pic. Literally nothing there is about using Facebook, being guilted(???) into using it, nothing suggests that leftists shouldn't build their own spaces. Are you really responding to the pic or to something else?

I actually did intend to respond to a specific comment yes

Well then... Your comment showed up first when I opened the comments, and without any other context it baffled me.

No the idea is the Left has a long history of infighting over which cause is most worthy or which step in the direction of progress to make to the detriment of making overall progress or actually working against the Right.

Letting "perfect be the enemy of good".

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with leaving. I don't think social media is productive in reality. You'd get a lot more done doing any level of political action in real life.
