Try to be friendly as possible. If that person you believe is breaking the rule or just being rude, please report them and we will handle it.

It's like being a Millennial and not on FB.
Sometimes our group chat will just be a flurry of facebook links, and I'm just sitting in the corner by myself lol. Can't even click on them because I've got every Meta/FB domain blocked in my router, in PiHole, and in AdAway on my phone.
Elder millennial here. I dumped Facebook a few years back. Can't imagine ever being back on it again. But in its heyday decade from like 2008 to 2018, life without it was unimaginable.
I also never got on Instagram at all. It's bizarre watching shows where people's lives revolve around it.
I dumped it in 2009 and didn't feel like I missed much. YMMV obv.
Ugh, at least your group chat isn't on Facebook Messenger. I've tried to get folks to migrate to Signal. Some did. Some don't care. Some refuse.
I managed to get my high-school friends and my brother to use Signal. Not as lucky getting my eldest sister to switch away from WhatsApp.
