#2Is this the beginning of the end or just natural stabilisation? I would guess the former; the platform is simply boring now.

#4Most of the posts on my newsfeed are posted by random parents which have added me over the years. Facebook even sends me text messages and emails to “come back”. I get random notifications about some ‘friend’ I haven’t spoken too in 10 years posted something on Facebook...like that will bring me back to your platform.
I haven’t found a way to disable those alerts and notifications.
I’m happy with Instagram because it just serves a simple purpose.

#7Anecdotally, I haven't been on Facebook in months. In spite of that, I wouldn't be surprised if my account is counted somehow in the daily usage for some of those days just because of the extent to which their services have extended throughout many other websites.

The decline of Facebook is in no way the decline of technology-enhanced socializing. People will hopefully just find other more natural ways to do so. My hope is on decentralized apps that allow people to own and control access to their own data.

You can disable these notifications by clicking the 3 dots next to them and then selecting "Hide notifications of this kind" or something like that. Granted they'll come up with new kinds of the same thing that will spam you again, but it works for me right now.

New people being born and becoming of age.

#10I see many people clamoring for the death of Facebook but don't they own many of the up-and-coming social networks anyway? If people are ditching Facebook for Instagram you might as well switch to cocaine to stop your crack addiction.
