I can’t wait to see Facebook to go away.
One of side hustle I do is tech support for senior people in my community. And amount of time I have to deal with stuff related to Facebook is staggering.
So many of seniors have multiple accounts because they don’t understand how it work and just hit whatever buttons they see pop up until they get back into Facebook feed. So it’s not user friendly and even worse, UI get changed constantly and I have to Google around across multiple threads different forums, etc to find answers. And so many more issues, I couldn’t list them all.
When you count active users by the million. You’re doing alright
It’s probably because Israel was getting bombed last month and their bots were temporarily unavailable.
Good to see people may finally be waking up to the idea that these companies are trash.
We feed meta billions of dollars and all our data, watch out what they are going to do, they already approached the fediverse and tried to make their move there.
I don’t understand. Did they try to buy Lemmy?
Threads can interact with the fediverse, when meta rolled in the platform there were many talks about unfederating with them.
No, they hosted their own instance… or at least that is what i understand
They are reporting “family daily active users” and I assume that this “family” means all of their apps. They are reporting 3.56 billion DAU, but Whatsapp alone has 3.3 billion users according to some sources. So we really do not know how Facebook or Instagram are doing from those numbers - and it does make sense that user numbers are dropping when Russia is restricting access to WhatsApp & Co and Iran is switching off its internet.
Old people are dying
I’m so old I remember when Facebork was just for young people.
Harley Davidson effect.

It’s almost like it really fucking sucks.

That’s a good start.
They probably went to other social media platforms. Not really a win.
Still almost half the planet, though. Way too much.
