I've noticed a significant change in my Facebook feed recently. It's almost all content creator content now, which I'm taking as a sign that my network is no longer posting there.

Bigger question. Honest question.
Why are YOU still there???
Because Facebook killed enthusiast forums for most of my hobbies and everyone migrated to FB. Thats where the knowledge is.
Some countries insist on using Messenger and nothing else, until that changes I can't leave.
Can't Messanger be used without Facebook? Mine asked me if in wanted to do that before I nuked it.
My wife tried to delete her fb account again (Shes done it a dozen times). Every other time she was able to keep access to messenger, this time it said no, she would lose access to that too. I think this is their push for people to use whatsapp instead.
Because I have no choice. There are couple groups I'm part of, and they exist solely on fb. Even tried moving some of them to reddit like 5-6yrs ago, but it didnt stick. Reddit back then would've been better than fb... ultimately the decision was out of my hands.
It’s pretty good for buying/selling used stuff.
Honestly, the only thing marketplace sucks for is cars.
Ive only ever had luck selling cars on platforms that require you to pay to list. Marketplace just gets you an endless string of time wasters and people who want it for half the asking price.
Oh yeah, the number of people that drop off the face of the earth after a couple message volleys is unreal. Definitely frustrating if you’re trying to get rid of something quickly.

Just don't use Social Media? Idk why people keep using this dogshit as if they expect it to change. JUST STOP FUCKING USING IT. You'll be thanking me later for the boost in mental health.

Let’s hope so.
Until you provide an easy solution for grandparents to watch their grandkids grow up, meta will have a captive generation and a half.
Group chats? They've replaced almost everything I used to use Facebook for.

Good riddance. Sadly I think it will take another generation before the boomers wake up
I think it will take another generation before the boomers ~~wake up~~ die.

Many are, genx is now the conservative generation.
