Anyone who's been on friendster or myspace is laughing at the desperate attempts to "save" Facebook and Twitter.

Social media comes and goes.
New incarnations learn from the old.

Hence if Facebook or Twitter (or agnostic.com 😮)go under, that should not be seen as a failure of democracy but a win for innovation.

I personally would love to see Fakebook and twiddler go down.

Facebook, if only because it is so ugly, with over complicated messy pages.

@Fernapple my biggest problem is how you have zero privacy from Fakebook itself! You get hit with crap they want you to try every day. I was off it for years and then a friend begged me to get back on. I did and regretted it within months. I am now permanently deleted from Fakebook.

@Redheadedgammy I know what you mean, I have to be on it because of business, but I retire next year, and then its gone for good. Although I am told that it is quite hard to delete an account, and that they still keep pestering you.

@Fernapple They certainly do not make it easy to delete your account. I had to get help from an IT friend of mine to completely permanently delete my account.

Yes but it may be a mistake to think that everything is always an improvement, progress is not always linear.

FB going under? Not any time soon. Despite a lot of criticism, FB is one of the most popular social media platforms, if not No.1, in the world.

Like I care. Lol

My friend Rae Dawn thought that when Facebook went to Meta as a corporation it would be the end of Facebook. I think she sees now that this is not true.

@TheMiddleWay Due to greed, heavy spending, mismanagement and ongoing court cases, apparently.

I really do not give a shit if Facebook and Twitter disappear down down a Florida sinkhole. In fact, if they suck Mar-a-Lago in after them that would be a definite plus. 🤣

I created a FB page because I thought it was necessary to sell on etsy. I ended up not selling on etsy but I found FB nice to stay in touch with relatives on the east coast and local doings around Ellensburg - especially traffic info and wild fire info. I have 25 people on my friends list so I don't get a lot of nonsense.
I joined agnostic. com to meet like minded people and it's been great.
Twitter seemed a total waste, I don't have a smart phone because I have no need to be that connected.
The internet is wonderful, information literally at our finger tips. Sadly most people do not use it to educate themselves but to post crazy stuff.

I tailored out most of the news from my FB page so mostly see what stuff I want from groups. I watch news elsewhere. I visit Twitter mostly to post what I want to say something about on FB with a Tweet. This way Z gets less sharing money, I imagine. This site is great for responses. I was on MySpace, From Where I Sit was my feature, so agree that none of them are all that important.

Same was true of Television silverotter11. FULL of potential to educate and inform....look at what happened there.

@twill As a kid we were not allowed to just sit and watch TV. Once I was on my own getting a TV was a low priority, had one off and on but for the last 12 years no TV just the internet.

It seems that natural selection operates at many different levels.

@TheMiddleWay Oooo, I love Mandelbrot geometry! 😂

I've been saying to people for a while now that we need a new site similar to Twitter but different. Just like Facebook took over MySpace. I joke if nothing more than the name Twitter just sounds stupid.
