The day my parents signed up for Facebook was the day my account died. I'm sure many other millennials have similar experiences lol

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 39 points 2 months ago

ironic how facebook will die with the boomers

i think the shift to "meta" was their response to the realization that only boomers use facebook anymore.

but what does meta provide that gen z wants? oculus stuff? threads? LOL

once something bubbles up to replace instagram (which it will), they're done

I would agree if they weren't such a prolific backbone for the tech industry. They're not just gonna vanish when people stop using their apps because businesses will still pump cash into them

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

such a prolific backbone for the tech industry

i'm not familiar with this. what businesses require meta for their existence?

[-] dan@upvote.au 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

For what it's worth, a bunch of open source stuff is maintained by Meta, that businesses rely on:

Parts of the Linux kernel, including btrfs, cgroup2 (which is heavily used by Docker and similar technologies), psi, bpf, and a few others.

PyTorch, used for AI/ML stuff

PrestoDB

zstd compression library and xxhash hashing library - used by pretty much every database system and a large number of backup systems now

React, React Native, Relay, etc.

Plus all the AI research and models (like Llama) that's published publicly with generous licensing policies. Way more Open than "OpenAI".

[-] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I don't think anyone necessarily depends on them - but the infrastructure for analyzing human behavior online is largely pioneered by meta and the likes. When the front ends like Facebook go away we'll just start seeing "Powered by Meta" on targeted ads; I wouldn't be surprised if people who see ads already do see that

It won't though. Those billions of active users are not all bots but people outside the US.

[-] dan@upvote.au 1 points 2 months ago

Zuckerberg said during the most recent earnings call that usage amongst 18-29 year olds is actually growing though.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

i'll bet he did

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Not really. Xellenial here and it’s still very much active with my friends and I. Honestly the simplest way to stay in touch with people you only occasionally talk to but want to know what’s going on.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip -2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

you're saying that you're a "xellenial" so facebook is immortal because "you and your friends" use it to keep in touch?

that sounds like something a boomer would say-- "IIIIIII use it, therefore everyone uses it!!!!"

LOL

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

I left Facebook when they banned me for not using my real name.

I was left in limbo indefinitely, because I challenged their assessment, and every time I try to log in now, it says that my account is "under review" or whatever.

Been like that for..... Going on 6 years or so now. Maybe more.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

As a user oft neither, I really don't really see the difference between Instagram and Facebook, so maybe just try Instagram?

Seriously though, they seem to have similar features and UIs. Apart from Instagram having short form videos to doom scroll on (instead of talking to or silently sitting next to the other person in the room) what features does it have that Facebook doesn't?
