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.
Where are you in Canada that you need Facebook for so many things?
Must be the east side. I definitely would have heard of this if it was Vancouver.
Yep, east side in Quebec province
I don't really want to dox myself but it's in Quebec
I've never had this experience for age verification and package notifications in Montreal. Seems super bizarre
It's in a mid size city, I guess culture is quite different in Montreal. And of course for age verification I could use a passport or ID but Facebook is common for this.
For the package notification it's how my building works.
Ok, not really ideal that. Will the landlord just not want people that don't have Facebook as tenants?
I've never met anyone without Facebook here, so I guess it's usually just not an issue.
(Which sucks, I don't want Facebook).
I recommend shelter for android for those who do not want this spyware.
