Ask HN: Is Facebook Dying?

You're missing the forest for the tree. It doesn't matter what software platforms or communications methods are involved - children (or rather descendants, since they may be adults) generally do not wish to share the same social platform as their parents / older relatives.

I totally agree, that's the point of my comment even. This is a moving target, nothing 'always' about it. We're discussing the decline of facebook over time, and it started being popular with an entirely different age group than it is now.

I also think it's worth noting these are relatively new phenomenon, we haven't even had social networks for long enough to pin down trends so absolutely.

I appreciate my parents being on FB. But I’m an adult. I also left FB for a time though too.

I think FB can do real psychological harm so you have to be psychologically prepared for it.
