Not counting Meta Quest. I’m curious about the adoption of Meta platforms amongst Lemmy users.

Only WhatsApp because of my family. Not much of a choice there…
I tried to convert everyone to signal, but know-betters with opinions decided “we just like it better”.
Never mind the ongoing data-rape by that app…. We ‘just’ likeitbetter.
I think people prefer the one everyone is at. Makes sense. For social media, what matter most is social capital. People only migrate when they feel that the majority will migrate. Some are more sensitive and migrate sooner. But never when there isn’t a trend.
I just had to install it for an upcoming trip to South America. Everyone seems to use it, even for business. It’s basically the only time I’ve ever used it.
I’ve told all my friends to only talk to me on Signal, and they both do.
I got off Facebook 10 years ago, never got entangled with anything else.
Everyone here pretending like the FB marketplace isn’t the best option for used items now that CL is dead
Yeah but you just use your spouse’s facebook acct for that
Haha, yeah, I don’t use Facebook or anything, but my partner absolutely uses marketplace and “buy nothing” groups on there.
Did something happen to Craigslist or just old age?
In my area it’s aged out. People that use CL are either scammers or trying to make a quick buck, as opposed to the FB marketplace which has both of those PLUS people who just want to get rid of shit and have no idea of the value or don’t care about the value of their items.
It’s slightly less popular for cars because they started charging for those listings
the best option
That would be ebay.
Fees are too high, and global market reach means prices are set at a global or national level rather than local. FB still king for cheap local stuff.
I got rid of facebook when Edward Snowden dropped his info. Never used the other services and never will.
Yeah, mostly Instagram and Messenger. All of my friends are on both so I don’t really have a choice.
And yes, before you ask, I tried to push everyone to signal and failed.
I have an Instagram, by which that means it’s been abandoned but not deleted (was created by pressure from an ex anyway) Otherwise nah, I don’t use any of them. They just don’t really provide anything I want or care about.
Why not count Oculus product?
Anyway I still use WhatsApp as most people I know uses it.
Because I don’t care about Oculus. I was only interested in the social media aspects of the company.
I’m right now downloading all my pictures so I can delete my Facebook and Instagram accounts… 1) I’m transitioning so it seems like a good time to disconnect myself from all the embarrassing photos of me as a teenager and 2) Facebook is just full of utter garbage these days anyway.
Facebook is still where nearly everyone is though. Your feed is what you make of it. They have a feeds section in your tabs that only shows your friend’s posts in chronological order.
Congrats on your transition btw. I’m happy for you!
The only person I know who really uses Facebook a lot is my dad 🤷
(Also thank you 😁)
I have not had a FB account since 2015. Just decided to delete it one day and never returned. Never had an insta. And definitely not signing up for threads.
Whatsapp is ubiquitous in my country, so while I try to use Signal with as many people as I can, I do use Whatsapp at least every couple days. Never had Instagram or Threads. I have an inactive facebook account.
Actually checked my Facebook feed recently out of curiosity. It’s amazing how dead it is these days. I could scroll for ages and none of the posts were from people on my friends list, or even pages I liked. Everything was just generic shit.
deleted by creator
I never did. In my 25 years of using and working with computers, my only social media accounts where Twitter (deleted since 5 years), reddit (deleted) and now the fediverse.
And I never give people my private mobile number if I know that they use meta apps
Quest counts.
No, I don’t use any of their products.
I stated it didn’t count because I was only curious as to the social media portion of Meta’s business.
Only Facebook because I’m forced to in order to talk to my mom who helps me financially and she’s not tech savvy enough for anything else.
I deleted my Facebook account in 2010 after Zuck’s “stupid fucks” comment and never touched a product that I could associate with them since.
