Why do any of you still use facebook?
It's fuckin' unavoidable. I don't use any part of it, except for Marketplace, because nothing like it exists. It doesn't matter if it's shit, it's where the stuff is listed for sale.
As for the rest of it, I just quit. Conversations I used to have on messenger have moved elsewhere.
FB itself for a community group, and Messenger for my family group chat 🤷
The group now has a presence on Discord, but there are still 26 times as many members on FB. In Hungary many people still use FB as their main social network. At most they also use Instagram, but that obviously doesn't work for closed discussion groups.
Fediverse is still mostly Westerner.
While on Facebook, there are a ton of community from SEA, East Asia, Africa, Middle East, and so on.
Also, Facebook Lite makes the poorest people in my country to be able to access social media without using too many internet quota.
The variation of groups is far beyond any social media, even Reddit or any other community site. You can get thousands of variation of Minecraft groups that exactly suits your community needs. Or maybe just a city chicken fried seller community.
