It might not even kill it. Facebook is still kicking, after all, for all its enshittification. It's just... idk, some of us were freed to move on to a more satisfying experience. That's all. Life continues here, life continues there
Facebook (the page) is dead in the sense that its parent company changed their name to not be the same as their (once powerhouse) product. Facebook trademark is so unbelievably cursed due to what it became that they're pretending that it does not exist.
Meta is focusing on Instagram for now. They could've launched Threads within Facebook (I think it was at some point) but they choose not to. Instagram is how they reach out to the people.
This means that Facebook was enshittified successfully. It does not serve any purpose now.
I don't think Reddit has the same choice as they don't really have means to pivot to something else. It will just cease to be... Or not.
I understand why the didn't do threads in Facebook incase they need to shut it down. Kinda like how they have Messenger then purchased WhatsApp but never integrated it if they want to shut one down.
I would say you're probably right. Remember this old gem?
Honestly if all the buttmunches stay there and all the cool people come here, I think that's the ideal scenario.
facebook's on the decline, meta's betting on instagram since that's what the kids use. facebook is for boomers to looking at family vacation photos and nazi radicalising and is a legacy service at this point.
do you know what a 'boomer' is? it's slang for 'baby boomer' and it's a specific age range of people born at specific times. plenty of people younger than that are on FB every day. just saying, if you didn't know what 'boomer' was, it doesn't just mean 'old person'.
