richardazia@joel Facebook is too big to fail. It has two billion people, people who use social media like they use the bathroom, a few minutes here, and there between chores. They're not invested in the network for hours at a time like people on the fediverse, threadiverse, etc. The problem is that those on Facebook are very hard to shift, and yet timelines are empty.
It's a paradox that Facebook is so huge, and yet friends are so quiet, due to the algorithms. I get the impression that no one uses Facebook anymore, and yet it has two billion users. I stopped using Facebook during the first lockdown. People were behaving in a toxic manner and I decided to quit.
