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 real funny because you can get throttled by big corporations even if (or rather especially if) you’re self hosting pretty much the same way
I have never once had one of my websites throttled, and I’ve been building websites for 20 years.
