What's funny is, if Elon had bought and destroyed Facebook he'd be a hero right now.

And at the same time, it's stunning that this is an unprecedented time for people searching for alternative social media sites and meeting places and absolutely no one wants anything to do with Zuck's gazillion-dollar Metaverse.

It would be just as bad if not worse. A reminder that twitter is ubiquitous mostly in western countries, whereas everywhere else facebook is still the main thing. Huge non-english communities would be lost. Lots of local communities would loose their main point of contact.
And meta is far more than facebook - the loss of fb messenger in my country would mean mayhem in interpersonal relationships. 90% of my friends can be reached only on messenger, 99% on messenger or whatsapp
@xtrems876 @gynostar FB is still the de facto social network in the US but Twitter is where a lot of us who avoid FB go.
