    of course not. when people “get their news” from facebook, they mean random posts from morons. not literal news

    How do we even trust any usage data put out by Meta? Who’s to say they are reporting a)truthfully and b)not bot accounts?

    Facebook is already a wasteland and a threads is going the same way before even it got any bigger, all thanks to the stellar reputation Meta has.
