Facebook, for me and the people I know, has become a message board where I know all the players. I don’t friend people from school or work, but instead people from conventions and hobbies, of which Facebook groups I also belong to and interact.
Comment on Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow

I think that number will grow as Twitter continues to decay. People clinging to dead corpse is pretty cringe when it comes to Twitter.
Facebook is dead already I feel and most people I know using it are only in their for old people who can’t use anything else or for the marketplace. Under the same umbrella, instagram is dead unless you’re selling something.
Forums like Reddit and lemmy I think will last the longest, but even then when the toxicity grows and transfers over from Reddit to here I probably will stop using it as much

TIL you can sell shit on Instagram

You can directly on it, but a lot of people push links to their own sites. Onlyfans and workout stuff seems to be everywhere

Instagram is far from dead. It is quite popular in South Asia and actually the social media of choice for many teens.

It’s a shame, facebook used to be great for local stuff, but the algorithm seems to have killed that.
Tried nextdoor but it’s mostly Karens.

I got next door, but only care about it as far as looking out for potential missing pets. I live in a fairly red area, and everyone is middle-aged on there, and everything I saw was super conservative people, and some hate for anything mentioning the possibility of non straight people.

Even in my very very blue area nextdoor is almost entirely crime posting and people posting doorbell cams of brown people on the sidewalk. It’s a complete wasteland.

Next door made me want to move. There were more old, racist trumpers on there than my neighborhood Facebook page.

Pro tip, if there aren’t many “leads” (what nextdoor calls mods) in your area you can usually just e-mail them to volunteer for your area.
