If so, why? The app is pure cancer, and I can’t seem to find one actual use for it other platforms don’t do better. Even RCS/iMessage are better than Messenger.

    I use messenger to get in touch with people I have no other contact info for.

    I use marketplace because Craigslist is a ghost town.

    The things other platforms don’t do better is “have a near ubiquitous user base”.

    I haven’t used Facebook as social media for at least a decade

      Same to all of this for me with one exception, which is I occasionally have to go on for work reasons to check the business page. When I’m there, I look at my notifications, which are usually weeks-old friend requests (usually from actual people I know IRL) so I’ll accept those. Not sure why I bother… something about not wanting them to feel bad about not getting friended, like we’re in college again. (I was in college when FB came out.) But in reality they’d probably never notice so…shrug.
