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 it. FB killed most smaller forums, anyone can make a “group” for any hobby and people can join with an existing account.
Some bigger forums still thrive, but very few new forums get any traction.
Has a serious advantage over meetup. I started a group on there. Had a lot of fun and then I am looking at a $200 yearly bill.
