      Basically all of them. Lemmy etc. are basically 90%+ techies, Facebook is pretty much going to be widely hated here no matter where you go.

          If you want a specific anti-facebook thing, as others mentioned, you can just make one. It’s still all over every tech-related community, though - this thread being one example.

      Probably not- in these days of Lemmy the way is if you don’t see it, make it! :)
