OTOH, most of my friends (and their children!!!) are using Facebook again like they haven't since it first came out.
It turns out, Facebook is insanely useful for keeping in touch with friends and family, and for organizing events. It simply doesn't have any competition for those use cases.
And there's no pressure to constantly post updates like there is with Instagram or TikTok, so even the kids and teens are getting into Facebook (albeit highly curated because their parents/family can see the posts). Tiktok/IG are still where they post silly shit and memes for their peers, but FB has become the place where they post the stuff they actually care about.
If your friends are the type of people who just post troll posts, that says more about your friends than it does about Facebook.
