@isagalaev A lot, sadly (~16K), and people I personally care, like very old friends, family nephew or nieces, an old person that used to be a friend of the parent of my wife before they passed away; they always interact under the comics, leave a little hello. Cutting the Facebook page would result cutting a bridge and presence in those fragiles relations...

@davidrevoy yes… My question was snarky, but I totally feel what you're saying. I have a few of such connections myself. And those are usually people who aren't going to switch online platforms.

I really hate how Facebook took so many of our relations hostage.

How can you even tell? The mere favs counts can be faked. Probably is too, for some sinister psychology experiment.
I am so, so glad that the Fediverse got created.

@anlomedad @isagalaev You can tell they are still plenty of real person watching their timelines by meeting them IRL.

I have plenty of feedback eg. from far away family who came at my wedding explained in the monthly report and who engaged discussion about my recent comics, saying they followed them on Fb, or when I do signing session, and you meet many amazing persons saying with shyness they follow on Facebook.

Yes, the way the post are shown, the stats can all be faked, but this, not much.

What the internet used to be, enabling social interaction with threads into RL. Thank you for sharing.
