I'm done with Facebook too but let's not post low effort reddit posts here with made up numbers for a headline.

in what respect is Instagram a dating app for women or anyone? Because it's a social media site primarily used by younger-ish people? by that metric any site that features young people is just an over-glorified dating platform. (not to say that this is a negative implication, dating websites are great to some extent) Do you believe that young people are capable of using social media platforms for things other than ba…
This wasn't meant for you, but the other guy deleted his question, so here we go. Instagram is a photo-sharing application at it's core. So when you share photos, you're sharing your lifestyle. You're advertising. This is especially prevalent down here in Miami. So much so that people oftentimes at clubs don't exchange phone numbers; they exchange Instagrams. The women can see by your Instagram posts what kind of lif…
In addition to that, it's pretty common on other dating platforms to say something along the lines of "don't use this much, it's better to reach me on instagram".
Part of that is looking for new followers, part of that is using IG as the primary social portal for their lives.

Enough people don't have or won't use facebook in 2022. Email is still the lowest common denominator.
Source? This sounds like conjecture at its finest.
Taking an average of the various reports about Facbook usage in the US, about 70% of internet users use Facebook at least once per month.
Somewhere near 100% of internet users use email.
As ok123456 points out, there's a reason that you get asked for your email address and not your Facebook ID. Asking for Facebook leaves out a huge chunk of people.

#376I go on Facebook once a week and browse the 'bell'. My family and friends' posts are generally there. Facebook seems to only show the joke feeds and such when I browse 'home'. So if I really want to be focused I begin and end with the bell.

Ordinary people put up with a lot of inconvenience just to stay connected (in some way). This is why fb has not collapsed yet. I left it years ago when I realized it was just annoying me.
I made the conscious effort before leaving Facebook to trade phone numbers, addresses and birthday dates from the people I wanted to really wanted stay in touch with, and put them in my phone. This was all within the last three years. I’ve sent birthday gifts in the mail, and I’ve gotten gifts in mail from these very people. Sometimes, when I wonder where the convenience that gets talked about in the context of Faceb…
This is a really good point. It explains why I didn't actually lose touch with anyone I didn't want to lose touch with after I left Facebook.
In fact, my bonds with them actually strengthened.

The recommendation system was really addictive for me for a while. I was wasting a ton of time on YouTube. Then I switched off recommendations based on my watch history and it suddenly got abysmally bad. And hallelujah, that worked like a charm. I spend almost no time on YouTube at all now. Whoever thinks that recommendations aren't predatory time sinks probably hasn't experienced both sides of that.
how did you disable recommendations based off watch history?
If you click on your user icon (upper right for me) then "your data on youtube" and disable watch history.

#379I wish I could delete my FB account. I only keep it around to manage app social logins and keep in touch with a few family members who haven't gone to Telegram yet.

I'm seeing the "You broke reddit" screen as well but you can still access the post if you use .compact or the `new.reddit.com` domain. https://old.reddit.com/r/facebook/comments/tvqddc/fb_feed_is...
i also keep getting the "you broke reddit" screen (even though it's a 503 so actually reddit broke it, but blaming it on the users?) on old.reddit.com but works on new.reddit.com is this reddit's not-so-subtle way to stop people from using old.reddit?
old.reddit is the only usable version of reddit. Without that, I'd just stop using reddit entirely.
