Ugh. Normie shit on Faceplant is exhausting.
Most of these people are not ready to leave the matrix anyway.
It's like radiation: limit your proximity and exposure duration to Facebook.

Facebook marketplace is a great place for finding second hand shit though.
Hope Nostr will have lively marketplace too. It's a good fit.
I think the nostr marketplace will be great for selling unique services & prohibited resources (prohibition is increasing).
The cool thing about FB marketplace is that these local sellers accept my worthless fiat for scarce resources. They don't demand sats like we do.
Yep, a free market, but probably not too heavy on illegal stuff. All is too visible and possibly permanent. But also quite decentralized, so impossible to take down with one blow. And hard to go for the small scattered stuff.
Buying and selling with btc is a good thing. That said, you can still use paypal (and similar), no one here can stop you, only paypal can 😂
Totally.
Some of the "local" selling groups are getting crappy lately.
Folks from a thousand miles away joining to try and sell shit.
I sold a Camaro and a Harley on there in 2022 - only times I was on FB since leaving a mic-drop post about why I was leaving and what my values were (with Bitcoin high on the list...along with hating the US 2-party system that has led to a Uniparty).
I post something about Bitcoin on Facebook every Saturday, coining it #stackinsatssaturdays
I’ve gotten a handful of people interested and some to buy. Not sure anyone has been fully orange pilled yet but they’re getting there.
That's awesome!
I have a private group of IRL normies and shitcoiners I do similar with, but I love your angle!
