Just another point of view: I'm Gen Z the trend I'm seeing among my friends is not en masse quitting of Facebook, but less regular usage of some of its functions - sharing articles, uploading photos, posting status updates, commenting on random posts, and so on. A quick scroll through my current feed only shows 1 or 2 posts made directly by friends, and they're all big life updates: graduations, engagements, etc. It's certainly not like the old days where people would share an album of a vacation or post about a small quirk of their day.
But even though people use many parts of Facebook less often, it's really hard to quit Facebook entirely because a lot of social activity revolves around it. In my circle, people tend to plan events using Facebook and often use Messenger to communicate. In university, people would ask questions in various FB groups. So while no one's really happy with Facebook, it still provides several conveniences that we don't want to live without.
Also, Instagram is still very popular - much of the activity that used to be on Facebook seems to have moved there.
