This is probably an overreaction. I do, however, think their growth is reversing and that’s why platforms like Facebook are diversifying rather rapidly. Things like Facebook marketplace and instagram are still hugely popular.
Us that are tech literate tend to not see the giant mass of tech illiterate who will always use the stuff they know aka Facebook.
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
