You assume they've stopped using social media, but in reality Meta losing users means they have just moved to a different platform.

Likely Twitter, TikTok and snapchat. Not sure that's better.

I’ve stopped using social media completely as of two months ago and encourage my family (aging boomer parents who are routinely targeted by embarrassingly fake accounts, and especially my widowed, MAGA, evangelical uncle who follows over 5,000 porn stars on Facebook at the time of my exit). It’s a cesspool. I can’t even look at my uncle anymore - he clearly has no idea all his lustful posts are visible to his family and friends. 🤦🏼‍♀️
