Yeah, FB was killed by the younger people abandoning it for other SM. Twitter was killed by Musk. Reddit was killed by Spez.
And by "killed", I mean "lost some users and content quality". They still have millions of active users.
And my personal feed on Reddit is pretty much unchanged. Very few niche subreddits went into an extended blackout, so I still got all my content. And since I use the mobile website (FF+uBlock), the API change didn't affect me that much. But I hope more communities from Reddit will move over here, especially the non-tech ones.
What's SM? Smash Mouth?
Pretty sure FB is still very much alive. Most people still use it for either Instagram, Messenger or Marketplace.
Hey now
SocialMedia ;)
I think FB and Instagram should be considered seperated although both owned by Meta. Anecdotally the people around me aged 20-30 only ever use FB for local groups and marketplace but not in it's original capacity.
A fair few niche subreddits did, at least FOSS, privacy, piracy, etc. Subs
FF+uBlock?
Firefox (presumably the mobile version) + uBlock Origin, an adblocker.
It means Firefox with uBlock extension
Probably means Firefox with the uBlock ad blockers browser extension.
On Android you can use Firefox with uBlock origin (ad blocker) extension
