      Craigslist still exists. Use it.

        Craigslist exists like my totaled car exists: yeah, it’s technically there, but it’s a shell of itself and doesn’t actually have anything worthwhile. Maybe in large metros it’s still a viable option, but even in a 250,000 people metro it’s a ghost town.

        Can’t buy things if no one is selling there, can’t sell things if no one is buying there.

      Craigslist is still around although not as active as Facebook Marketplace.

    I've been waiting for the boomer generation to stop any of what they're doing for 30 years. I suspect they'll still be a viable political bloc for the next 20 years. And even then, gen x and gen z will pick up right where they left off.

      Genz conservative voters tend to be more right wing than their parents or boomers family. That’s why they want to target the younger population

    The mass die-off of boomers will be a great thing. They ain’t all bad, but they are the worst generation. Absolute poison.

    Based on my parents, I’m pretty sure it’s genx keeping it alive.

    Lol, you mean when they die? Yeah, that’s not a bad point. They aren’t getting any younger.

      the dieing days are here for the first wave of boomers and it’s only going to increase… day by day

      im genx and I’m of the opinion that my parents and their generation are the most selfish and most self centered generation in the history of this country. They spoiled their opportunities to do what they thought was right as young people… so some genxrs are also pieces of shit but most people of my generation understand we are a skipped generation and the young people are the future. We are not like our parents that is for sure.

  I just had this funny thought— so boomers adopted and settled into Facebook after millennials made it popular. And then everyone except for boomers stopped actively using it. It’s kind of their “retirement social media platform.”
  Now you have TikTok, which the millennials flocked to after GenZ popularized it. Does this mean after Gen Z flees the platform that it’s just going to be the Facebook equivalent for millennials?

    I dunno… I’m a millennial and no one I know uses TikTok, they all use Instagram.Anecdotal, sure, but still.

  • MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I’d say the biggest difference is that Millennials tend to be more aware that Boomers of who else is actually using the platform and why, and to have/acquire knowledge about other platforms and transition to something new.

  I’d be genuinely curious what the real age demographic of regular Facebook users is in America, but I highly doubt Meta would ever release those figures.

  Doubt they can even sort out who is and isn’t a not, themselves
