      Thing is, people stay on Facebook because their friends and family are on Facebook. Reddit is far more anonymous and therefore has far less inertia.

        I would drop kick FB in a heart beat if it wasn’t for that shitty platform being my only means of communication with some family and friends. WTF happened to email and phone calls/txt jesus.

            I wish I could do that. But I’m disabled which is isolating by itself but also makes maintaining friendships difficult let alone making new friends.

            So unfortunately the few friends I do have are firmly entrenched in FB and I have little recourse to make more friends. They’re good people. Genuinely good people so I don’t want to ditch them anyway, they’ve just been wicked into social media addiction and entrapment the same way many have been.

      Nah, what killed facebook was the boomers joining in droves and showing their awful lack of critical thinking skills.

      Reddit will never even have become this mainstream before dying.
