- esskay 1mo agoI always find it surprising when I hear of someone younger using facebook. I associate it with retired/elderly folks who love posting cryptic messages about their health or how their day has gone wanting attention.
- herbst 1mo agoSame here. Also interesting how defensive people seem to get when they are somehow stuck using these networks trough their social circle or area
- spunker540 1mo agoDo they use Instagram or WhatsApp?
- herbst 1mo ago> or any related services. So nah, most don't. I know some do, but the main socialisation isn't happening there.

- shreedx 1mo agoI think you're forgetting that Meta owns Instagram and WhatsApp.
- herbst 1mo agoI am not forgetting that no. Signal and Telegram are the main drivers and Instagram is just as dead as Facebook itself is.
- dmortin 1mo agoIt's different by location. E. g. in Europe many people uses Facebook, many under 40s too. In the US: 25–34 years: Around 25.7% to 25.9% (the largest single demographic group).
- herbst 1mo agoCentral Europe here myself (Switzerland to be precise) signal and telegram are the dominant IM and Instagram is just as dead as Facebook, sure some might use it but nobody expects anyone else to to.
- upupupandaway 1mo agoSignal is not the most popular/dominant IM even in Signal's HQ. It has 2% global market share. You are extrapolating from your bubble.
- jmcgough 1mo agoThe people you know aren't exactly representative of the whole country. Most people I know are on instagram.
- herbst 1mo agoWhen I open Instagram that is still connected to all my old friends, class mates, travel buddies and whatever I get 90% third party ads and 10% posts that might even be a few months old, and most of that is just "look at me" type of content. So I have to assume it's dead
- tedggh 1mo agoMost people under 40, 30 and even 20 I know are on Instagram, and many under 40 and 30 are on Facebook. Maybe it varies with country, education level or some other factors.
