It has to be at the saturation point for at least Facebook. Facebook is old news. Anyone who wants a Facebook account has one, anyone who wants to engage in the platform is already doing so.
However the younger people understand now that posting things on public social media can have consequences, so things like Discord and Telegram are now going to be the future, and classic social media like Facebook is simply going to become more and more inauthentic until it fades away into something 70 year olds preoccupy themselves with out of habit like television.
- beej71 4y agoI'm older and have bailed on social media (I use it as a write-only broadcast medium). The posts there I want to see are lost in the manipulative noise. I'm in several small clique channels on discord and slack, including one for my extended family, instead. I've been wondering how common these are getting.
- CrimsonCape 4y agoI think that girls are particularly susceptible to self-criticism like "Wow, I have a phone but nobody calls me, harumph, I guess they don't like me / I guess I'm not worth anything to anybody." Discords are a kind of panacea to these kinds of self-harmful thoughts, since joining a Discord says "Hey I want to talk" and now the burden is on the other participants; if they are not in the Discord, clearly they don't want to talk.
