First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

    But how many people are still exchanging facebook contacts? Because I haven’t met anyone anymore …

      A significant point would be that I’ll just find you when I get home if I cared enough about our interaction.

      Good point! I suspect it’s a lot more than we think. My parents are definitively still involved in doing this.

      But on the other hand, does exchanging contacts mean anything to Facebook anymore? I don’t think that’s important to their income stream anymore. If the OP meant “these sites are still going strong but aren’t what they were when they began”, then of course I agree.

        I was never much into the Facebook thing because I didn’t join it at its peak, but when already most people I would have connected stopped using it.

        But I remember there was a time where when you met someone and wanted to stay in contact you exchanged the facebook info.

        Nowdays its Line.
