I haven’t been on FB itself in close to a decade. I understand that it’s still somewhat usable for neighborhoods and for keeping up with family, but I don’t have firsthand knowledge. Even before I left, getting through the algorithm to see a feed of real people was almost impossible. That’s certainly the case on Instagram, which I do still visit a few times a year.
I’ve never been especially interested in normies, but you may be right. All the communities that I care about are in the fediverse. Any entity that still relies solely on Xitter is a lost cause as far as I’m concerned.
With Reddit and Xitter now imploded into irrelevance, what’s left? Just FB and its subsidiaries?
My impression is that FB is only used by scammers and bots.

are they irrelevant though? i totally agree with you as far as my spheres of interest go, but outside of that “normies” still use both heavily.
just try to find travel or anything but the one big anime community on lemmy.
and many companies, politicians and journalists still only use twitter
