It's been years since I've even seen a pro-facebook take on HN, let alone anywhere else.
Most people echo something similar to "I don't like it, but everyone else is there, and I don't want to feel left out."

Either way in support of what you’re saying and in reference to the words — what evidence or rational is there that most people psychologically addicted to FB think it is evil? Replace FB overall with IG. IG is hugely popular. Some are prob addicted. IG doesn’t have the same negativity assigned to it so saying most addicted users think it’s evil would seem like a very silly statement.
Edit: this is not to argue that FB is an addiction or that FB is evil or that FB is equivalent to cocaine. It is just to point out the weakness of the parent comment.
FB employees: pretty close to Purdue pharma and the tobacco companies. At least tobacco prevents Parkinsons. I know, people got kids to feed and ex-wives to pay off, but FB is complete and utter garbage, and anyone who ever worked there carries a badge of shame forever.
I highly doubt most addicted users think FB is evil. That’s a strong word.
Regardless, people being pro some company is not a good way at all to see if a company is “evil” or not. Many times people being pro something can be a negatives indicator.
We have seen various tech companies do bad things. Like the anti-poaching collusion so many participated in. But at that time Google was given near unanimous praise and pro-comments.
'let alone' anywhere else? HN is surely skewed toward privacy-conscious types that are inherently not 'pro-Facebook.'
