Easy: get off of it.

If your family is that important and refuses to move: call them occasionally.

Every second you spend on it is another cent given to meta

call them occasionally.

I'll text. Take it or leave it.

Yes its dumm to stay on there because of family. As your family has then to stay there because you are there, and suffer the harmful experience. You are then to blame for any shit that happens to them on there.

Get off. Close it down. Post your stuff somewhere decentralised and let them know how to contact you. If they want to see your pictures, post them there only.
