The day my parents signed up for Facebook was the day my account died. Iโ€™m sure many other millennials have similar experiences lol

As a user oft neither, I really donโ€™t really see the difference between Instagram and Facebook, so maybe just try Instagram?

Seriously though, they seem to have similar features and UIs. Apart from Instagram having short form videos to doom scroll on (instead of talking to or silently sitting next to the other person in the room) what features does it have that Facebook doesnโ€™t?

I left Facebook when they banned me for not using my real name.

I was left in limbo indefinitely, because I challenged their assessment, and every time I try to log in now, it says that my account is โ€œunder reviewโ€ or whatever.

Been like that forโ€ฆ Going on 6 years or so now. Maybe more.

It wonโ€™t though. Those billions of active users are not all bots but people outside the US.

Zuckerberg said during the most recent earnings call that usage amongst 18-29 year olds is actually growing though.

Not really. Xellenial here and itโ€™s still very much active with my friends and I. Honestly the simplest way to stay in touch with people you only occasionally talk to but want to know whatโ€™s going on.

youโ€™re saying that youโ€™re a โ€œxellenialโ€ so facebook is immortal because โ€œyou and your friendsโ€ use it to keep in touch?

that sounds like something a boomer would say-- โ€œIIIIIII use it, therefore everyone uses it!!!โ€

LOL

i think the shift to โ€œmetaโ€ was their response to the realization that only boomers use facebook anymore.

but what does meta provide that gen z wants? oculus stuff? threads? LOL

once something bubbles up to replace instagram (which it will), theyโ€™re done
