It's fuckin' unavoidable. I don't use any part of it, except for Marketplace, because nothing like it exists. It doesn't matter if it's shit, it's where the stuff is listed for sale.

As for the rest of it, I just quit. Conversations I used to have on messenger have moved elsewhere.

There really needs to be an organized effort from sellers and buyers to identify a solid alternative, which is hard. And post listing about moving off to that platform. A lot of existing ones have their own downsides, and there are just not enough people on them consistently and actively
