I think Facebook counts you as active even if you're logged in, never go to the site, but see any site with a like button. I've blocked Facebook using both Safari Content blockers and my `/etc/hosts` file, but I wonder if they have other ways of attempting to count me in.

Every new user is a potential loss for the open web.
Monthly, active according to this source: https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/27/15880494/facebook-2-billi... And if you look at these stats from March 2017: https://newsroom.fb.com/company-info/ It could be either one. Daily active were 1.28 B and monthly active were 1.9 B so either way it is likely they have both crossed, or are about to cross the 2B mark.
why would it be likely that daily active users ballooned 56% to surpass 2B? Seems like it must be monthly active in the discussion. Did FB do something recently that leads to your remark
Another reply, from @jackmodern, indicates that they may have done that, so now I am less confident that it is the daily actives.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> Facebook is a platform. They don't do a lot of attempting to influence, as far as I can tell. Ahem: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/30/technology/facebook-tinke...
What point are you trying to make? Can you elaborate? "Ahem" and a link don't do a good job of forming or supporting a specific point. Edit: Why do people think these are unreasonable questions? Does Google attempt to influence by ordering search results? How can any publisher avoid attempting to influence when any difference in content is potentially influential?
And my pet snake is one of them, so I'm not sure what that really means.
I recently created a dedicated fb account to connect with some people, and I was very very surprised how dull fb is. I tried it back in the days and felt it had some value, in terms of UX and "connection" but now it's all foobar and gimmicky. Very odd. I would never had expected it to reach 2B so fast. I wonder if it's mostly because of mass + [o]auth capabilities so ubiquitous now.
If you friends don't post, then your feed will largely consist of advertisements or pointless posts from pages.

Congratulations to them for hitting 2 billion.
