Sadly Elon Musk remains a threat to us all.
Isn't whatsapp for old people? Drag uses Discord instead. It's not great, but at least it doesn't hack your phone.
As much as I dislike Whatsapp and love Discord. Private messages in Whatsapp are encrypted while Discord messages are entirely collected
I think teens abandoned Facebook like 10 years ago
Teens stopped using Facebook in 2015.

Where there any teens on Twitter? Last I was there it was full of angry middle-age men.
Ah, the curse of algorithmic social network. It’s full of angry middle-aged men if you follow those / interact with them. There are / were big communities formed around various pop stars on Twitter and those are quite different demographics.

A decade ago is when teens stopped using Facebook, unless they're counting Instagram in those metrics?
Look at the graph in the article: it’s the only newsworthy piece. Assuming the numbers are legit, the lines crossed about 6 years ago.
Of course the x axis not having any labeled points there doesn’t fill me with confidence. Perhaps it’s just two points for each and they drew a straight line

Ok, I feel old. The only reason facebook has any relevance to me is the market place. What’s the best alternative?
Craigslist, cash converters
It might be that I’m looking at this from a US perspective. Craig’s list has been a bit rough when I’ve tried it. Scammy and shadier people. I hope you’ve had better experiences here than me.
I found cash converters out of the UK. Is that correct? It seemed comparable to a pawn shop at first glance.
I've heard it from dankpods a Australian channel
That's just it, Facebook is kinda the default option, and almost everyone has an account there. It's why so many clubs arrange everything through a Facebook page.
