I read “it’s dying” by people on Discord and Reddit all the time, but the numbers prove otherwise. It’s been going up this entire time and sitting over 3 billion MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS!
I feel like the bubble around people on other platforms saying “who uses Facebook anymore lol” is kind of wild given the numbers. Keep in mind these are active users not just abandoned accounts.
This is news to me. Everyone I know just uses WhatsApp or Facebook messenger or even telegram. I haven’t sent a sms in years and only received from banks or telco operators.
Yeah, it’s pretty much favoured towards Facebook messages and/or WhatsApp, but I’d gladly use SMS over those two (or hell even RCS, not possible with some stupid people in my class, which bought an iPhone in the last two years, not to mention we had (and technically still have) a recession, which means that buying an iPhone is the most fucking stupid thing you could)
