- darksaints 24d agoBased on what passes for “engagement” and “content” on their platforms, I’d estimate that a majority of their users are exactly that.
- melasadra 24d agoSo my country has somewhere between 100-200 million MAU for facebook ane. Facebook marketplace is huge here.It's basically our craigslist. Hobby groups/communities are also huge. If I wanted to find the local jogging or chess club, I'd use Facebook. Just remember that outside your bubble there's a whole wide world with billions of people living in it
- alex1138 23d agoThe company is hurting people outside the 'bubble'.
- alex1138 23d agoThe company has been known to lie before And the thing is, network effects are killer. I'm on it because you're on it because Alice is on it because Bob is on it But, Facebook has apparently been known to censor links to competition (I'm less clear on this). With Myspace they had a tool where you could import contacts into Facebook from Myspace, but not the other way around
