My heart goes out to anybody losing their job, but it's always fantastic to see bad things happening to Meta.

  I wonder what the effects of Meta failing would have on society? I can’t think of competing social network for people to migrate to. Would topic forums see a rise in popularity again or would sites like Reddit draw in some of those users.

    Nothing. I'm pretty sure Meta could disappear from the face of the earth tomorrow and after a week of boredom, people would realise that life is actually much much better without it. (I've been off all Meta services since 3 years).

      The millions of people using whatsapp for serious matters would beg to differ.

    > Would topic forums see a rise in popularity I highly doubt it > or would sites like Reddit draw in some of those users probably. I get the impression reddit is doing more marketing to non tech people, and more people I know have said positive stuff about reddit out of nowhere but also... I feel like this is unrelated, but reddit has seriously gone downhill since what it was in like 2015. It's a good idea but the users make it insufferable
