Tbf, the whole "lol, Twitter won, Facebook lost" arguement, while still very true (especially when it comes to Twitter being used more as a promotional outlet for businesses/agencies/creatives/etc, instead of Facebook still being thought of as a personal/casual site)...does kind of forgor that Instagram is still a thing - and, in many ways, would be more apt as Zucc's "Twitter-equivalent" in comparison to Threads lol

But what doth I know? I am a speck in this giant Silicon Valley (and soon to be Silicon Valley vs Texas) peepee-swinging contest lol

Facebook is absolutely not lost too bc tons of people including myself organize on there. Like all my friends use it for groups and events.

Is Facebook itself still popular? I stay far away from social media ( :marseyunabomber3: )so i legit dont know, but i dont remember the last time anyone mentioned it in real life. It seems completely usurped by Instagram (same company sure, but i mean the actual website). Ive seen facebook mostly mentioned on here for the last several years, because of boomer drama and local neighborhood group sneed. So i guess its popular with GenX?

Facebook is still wildly popular amongst the elderly and specially in 3rd world countries, because facebook has language support for almost every imaginable language that is used in the world, plus you have marketplace (a service that's centralized unlike the many dozen offshoots in various countries), and a way to create groups, either be public or private (the /h/peakpoors originated from a facebook group)

It's pretty widely used for Facebook groups and Facebook marketplace.

I've notice a lot of blue collar people still use Facebook regularly. Most college educated people on my friends list shy away from posting.
