Yes, even not using that I can see that would be the situation.
People would start going off topic and it would branch off all
over the place.

You don't need that. If it's accessed by Browser, mine blocks
trackers but my phone offers an App for Facebook that likely
would support that sort of activity.

That said, more and more I'm running into sites that won't let
me load their pages because they can't spy on me through my browser.
I've run into a number of pages that will lock my phone solid as
they try brute force to do their thing.

Way back the BBS systems were a little busier, unless there are
a lot more lurkers out there than I know.. But we're all talking
a fair bit here and there's a wide range of countries represented
by various users so you can get ideas or opinions from a wider
range of people with their experiences giving them ideas you may
not have considered.
