I don't know where to post: there are too many social platforms, and the old giants are dying. The age of social media is splintering.
Great news — social media is falling apart::I don’t know where to post: there are too many social platforms, and the old giants are dying. The age of social media is splintering.
Facebook will never die. Too many people in third-world countries rely on Facebook for internet access. Facebook is happy to provide free connectivity to keep people hooked in countries like Philippines. They mask the images and videos in FB Messenger, but then provide a very ad-heavy Facebook lite experience for free. They brokered a deal with the carriers in these countries for this. Facebook is here to stay for a very, very long time.
Everyone on Lemmy keeps saying Facebook is dead, but it just hit it’s all time high of 4B monthly active users.

Doesn’t that include people who log in once per month to check their messages, scroll down two posts in their feed and log out?
It’s still 4B, even if just a fraction interact meaningfully is still a lot… And if it’s growing it certainly isn’t indicative of death
Yes, as it always has. It hit it’s highest daily active users too.
