That's why we've printed FREE stickers — to spread the word about Facebook and let them know that we won't stand for their dangerous actions that impact all of us — regardless of whether we're on the platform or not. Fill out the form to get yours!
I work at an university near Los Angeles. Starting 10 years ago I noticed new students didn't have Facebook accounts. Now it's very rare that I meet a student with a Facebook account. I see that process happening with Instagram. I understand why Meta is worried about retaining users.
I use facebook to sell stuff, i think they could pivot into a more community platform instead of forcing people to get on facebook for personal stuff.
That's the sole reason to keep it today (and I'm saying this an an old-timer, joined in 2007); to buy and sell stuff on FB marketplace -- if there was an app separated marketplace from FB, I'd delete FB for sure. My teenagers have ZERO interest in FB by the way, when asked their response is: 'that's for old people' + 'facebook is lame'.

Same here for FB marketplace. I wonder who still uses Craigslist.

Craigslist never created or cared to create a real app -- so it basically died as people want to quickly snap pics w/ their phones and post items w./ minimal pain -- CL couldn't offer that -- I heard it's due to their quirky owner who didn;t really care to expand and get on w/ the times...

I agree. I keep getting banned because I don't agree with people telling whales that they are beautiful. I deleted my account but I do miss the marketplace.

Craigslist makes bank dude. Might not be a great site.. but it makes bank.

Same. I've been using my wife's account to sell stuff but finally she said no more lol so sadly I've been forced to get my own Facebook account. Still, I setup a fake identity.
