Donald Trump destroyed Facebook

Did the 2016 election break facebook?
I've been noticing that people are a lot less active on facebook now, maybe sharing something once a week, deactivating accounts and only keeping messenger or outright deleting Facebook, most of the active people I see on Facebook now are clueless old people.
Is anyone noticing this trend?
Is facebook only "growing" now because of third world access to internet?

Bumping because I've noticed this too. I ended up deleting my Facebook because it felt like a ghost town/echo chamber for virtue signaling retards.

everyone is going baack to myspace

The silent majority sees through the bullshit.

yeah i deleted my account in 2016 and never looked back nor took on another social media platform.

I hope so, I never liked Facebook

I have noticed the exact same thing.

The only people who still post frequently are total fucking weirdos, or SJWs sperging out about Trump every day.

I deactivated mine a few days ago. It's just stupid now.

I like Instagram though

trump did no such thing

>facebook wasnt always an echochamber for virtue signalling unemployed millennial retards.
i made my facebook back in 2010 and the only thing ive ever used it for was triggering the p.c police

The 'in' crowd moved to Instagram... which is owned by Facebook.

but i need your datas you rural and suburban retards

A significant amount of people have seen what happens if you say something contentious on facebook so have figured out it's better to keep quiet.

If you are a member of goybook you should seriously consider suicide

I personally haven't had an account in roughly 5 years. Even when I had it I never went on. Had an Instagram but literally logged on twice and posted one picture. Deleted it as well. Same with Snapchat

I was just never into social media. I always found it really shallow and vapid. I hope one day it dies completely but that will probably never happen

>eating like regular people
i hate that little fucker so much

Facebook is the new old Myspace. Soon it will be the new new Myspace. And then Instagram will become the new old Facebook.

facebook hasn't been cool since boomer parents started adding their millenial kids

gen z thinks facebook is for total conformist normie faggots (it is)

the product line can only keep going by revinventing itself with younger generations using newer messaging vectors like instagram, whatsapp, and (attempted) snapchat

the same wave of toxicity that hit you after your 3rd or 4th year as a facebook user (too many notifications, too many dumb invites for worthless crap, too many shitposts) is finally starting to hit the fan with even the boomer crowd

people hate facebook

but it's a hard mental addiction cycle to break once people are trained to click it to see their latest notification and then start scrolling because of some inflamatory far left or far right bullshit

waves of fear around privacy and hacking weren't enough to sink FB, it would be hilarious if the fallout from the current ideological political divide killed off the site

I like Instagram too. The format makes stupid arguments SO much easier to avoid. And you can use a completely fake name and be anonymous if you like, unlike Fartbook. Granted Faceberg bought Insta, but they have not ruined it. I think they only acquired it for the $$$ and don't really care about it because it's not that useful for datamining and influencing people. Fundamentally it's still just a picture site and I much prefer photography--from candid snaps to careful work--to talking. People talk too fucking much anyway. Show, don't tell.

My lifestyle right now makes travel almost impossible, which is super frustrating. But through careful use of Instagram, I've been able to literally see how different people all over the planet live, and tidbits of how they view the world. It's nice scenery and more. It's interesting, really. And makes me feel less trapped and bored.

I don't get the big deal with Instagram. It's just a vertical photo album.

it's pretty good for small business owners to get their products out there...that's about it. And cool photography if you're into that sort of thing..maybe recipes?

Yeah, my gf and I both left Facebook behind.
Only normies actually care about that website.
The news there is behind and censored da boot.

i only log into facebook because even though i turned off phone notifications it STILL alerts me everyday that my dad has posted another meme

Holy fuck, you should write a book!

All these goddamn normies reeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Yeah dude Instagram is fucking sick. People trash-talk it but the different kinds of content on there is really cool.

I follow photographers who take photos of places I want to go hiking/backpacking through. Different mountain ranges in the USA, it's great. I love looking at it every day.

I post my nature photography and music on there. I have a bit of a following, and I have even met new people through it.

I like that it is not too personal. People aren't fucking bragging about their jobs/relationships and gay shit like that. Their just throwing up a cool photo of their interests or something they are doing.

Plus women you know getting horny/desperate for attention and posting half-nude photos on the "story' feature. That is fucking sweet.

Not really. Not that I've seen. But then I don't care about some mythical "in" crowd, at all. I suppose they're on there but I don't notice them. I find funny, likeable individuals, complete nobodies really, from all over the world and follow them out of curiosity, pretty much. Little snippets of the lives of humans I'll never know, intriguing moments of chance and fate, definitely evokes a ton of sonder. Also there are some great recipes and shit like that, and amazing travel photography. I've found out about some stunning places I didn't even know existed.

>inb4 burger geography education

There is some really obscure, awesome stuff on there. Places I know I will never go but it's amazing to see them nevertheless.

Facebook is so fucking bitchy, trite and stupid. Like Twatter but much, much worse. I don't need to see that much of human nature really. Ever.

Instagram isn't "fucking sick"
Instagram is for people to post "cool photos" of their vacations or whatever new thing they bought, to show how "great" their life is
Instagram is for attention whores and vapid capitalism
Why do you think top instagram profiles are all women?

I fucking wish, even though that site is a dump now.

Myspace was truly better because there wasn't a news feed that you had to look at. There was a bulletin board that people would post, but you'd have to have a good hook for people to read those, and they were mostly just chain-mail crap/surveys. The whole news feed/liking statuses system made social media a lot more toxic/narcissistic. It essentially turned people into advertisements.

During the Myspace days, if you wanted to see how someone was doing, you'd have to go to their profile and read their wall. I'm probably just being nostalgic over the old internet/pre-smart phone days though. It was truly simpler times, and the internet wasn't so encompassing in people's lives.

myspace was better. you could customize your profile and dork out over code. that was half the fun, stealing your friends' quizzes and altering the html crap.

>have, what's basically, a computer in your pocket
>people act as if contact without facebook is impossible

do you think you are being uniquely insightful?

Facebook has this really bizarre way of making anything you say or post look bad.

Anytime I see somebody post something I think:
>they are desperate for attention
>they are trying to brag
>they are insecure
>they want likes
>they are trying to get their ex's attention
>they are trying to virtue signal
>holy shit they are brainwashed
>I wonder if they were abused as children?

Seriously. I just stopped posting and then deactivated mine because I knew whatever I posted, people only thought the worst of.

Instagram doesn't do that. When people post stuff I think "Oh that's kind of cool" or just don't think much of it at all.

>Facebook is so fucking bitchy, trite and stupid

Yes. it is so fucking bitchy. It's up-tight. It's like there is an up-tight unhinged PC feminist patrolling every post at all times, and nothing you say or do is right.

This will be the death of facebook.

Nah, it won't. It doesn't have the capability format-wise. MySpace didn't either. That fucking newsfeed is the devil incarnate. I hate Facebook so much. I have one under a fake name that's never gotten pulled, crossed fingers because if I have to do one under my name I just won't. I only use it for simple PMs about getting together, events to check out, shit like that. Sad thing is I still post nothing save funny cat videos now and then, no personal pics or anything, and yet when I do a bunch of people message me and say "it's so great to see you on FB! I missed you!" and I feel like replying, "well, why didn't you just call or email me you idiot."

The state of people nowadays, man.

Your country must be a bunch of shut ins. Tons of natural photographers and artists over here. You don't even have to listen to their political views or any other bullshit, just their photos/music/paintings/whatever.

Photo albums were cool when you would go to some old person’s home and flip through old pictures. It’s the same with Instagram, plus you avoid most of the retarded convos and beef in the comments. It’s the best social media platform aside from maybe LinkedIn or tumblr for porn.

>inserting a div tag to make a full custom flash overlay
>friends sperg out at your abilities

felt cool for a minute

...

>instagram is people showing-off and women whoring around!

Depends on the accounts you follow? There are photographers who take photos of abandoned shacks in the mountains, or get pictures of off-the-trail landscapes where they live.

I love seeing that shit. I post hidden spots around my state on there. People like seeing it, they even go out of their way to tell me they do, and I like see their shit too.

I dig it.

You're not the first person to say that to me, kek
For various reasons

kek

>Trump destroyed jewish datamining scam
truly a god amongst men

Haha yeah, you're spot on. The story shit is hilarious. I never bother doing them though I like that they expire and can't be saved. Though the live stuff on there during the recent hurricanes was pretty great actually.

If it wasn't for the fact that Kikebook is the only way in which I could communicate with friends or family memebers I only see a few times a year I wouldn't even have an account. Posting on Kikebook is degenerate.

And as for Twitter, I literally only use it to like every single tweet by Trump.

Your post says so much about you, most of it depressing but I doubt you see it. I'll put it this way:

You find what you expect to find and what you are drawn to. I don't care about or want to see people like that, on Instagram or anywhere--so I don't. Stop creating negative shit for yourself, maybe. Or not. Go ahead and wallow in the refuse heap of humanity if that's what you dig. As you please. Not for me though.

I think it might be people are tired of all the ads, shitty suggested (((news))) articles, horrid memes, and overnight experts.

>The whole news feed/liking statuses system made social media a lot more toxic/narcissistic.
yes, exactly.

Oh yeah, totally. Plus what people did with their page told you so much about them--good and bad. The more sparkle gifs on a page, the faster I'd get the hell out of there.

no
you don't need an instagram account for that
you don't need an instagram account for that
it's your opinion man, I've deleted all my social media and I've never been happier

You can always ignore the bitches that just post shit with 2/3 of their face in the fuckin frame.

I know people who aren’t into social media always say “well I can text all the people that matter” but that’s not always possible. Perhaps I’m a normie but I honestly like seeing what people are up to, those that can take proper pictures anyway.

It's just shit it's been going the way of MySpace for a while now

Most of my friends, even the ones that are pretty deep into the SJW koolaid, have been swearing off FB over the last several months after they each get sick of the drama.

He was telling you to fuck essentially. And you let it slide, pussy. Take those worldly views of yours amd shove up your ass, we don't cotton to Chinamen around here.

>Facebook has this really bizarre way of making anything you say or post look bad.

checked
it's like high school all over again, without the fun bits. networking is hell period. IRL or online really. That's what I would have hated about the 1950s no doubt. The whole "what do the neighbors think of you" backstabbing/gossip shit. Fuck that.

MySpace was a lot more personal/individual, given that the most common way to speak to people was to write on their comments and not tag them in a public post. Also, the profile customization was nearly limitless (with sometimes hilarious results). It also helped people of similar interests group together without too much scrutiny and peer pressure from outside groups.

Facebook is just a massive conformity bubble, there's nothing personal about it. Everything's the same and everything's prominently public. Normie trash.

MySpace also fostered music to the extreme because it had great musician profile features right from the start. I'm glad I was around for the MySpace gig explosion because it was a boon to my social life, and I miss the scene dearly.

2Edgy4Me.

They're probably not so active on Facebook because Schmuckerberg keeps deleting accounts he disagrees with.

>I've deleted all my social media and I've never been happier
Then it was the right thing to do

I'll also add that MySpace was a much less passive experience. You had to actively check up on someone's comments if you were involved or interested in a conversation. No notifications for every little attention-seeking virtue-signaling piece of shit someone posts.

Zuckerberg is working with mueller to make up some dumb shit. All while trying to come across like an ordinary guy and presidential.

Holy shit I fucking loved Myspace

The metalcore/emo/post-hardcore scene during the myspace years was absolutely fucking sick. I got so many women out of my league during that time.

I was so bummed when Myspace died.

I think in general, people are waking up to the bullshit, they see through the illusion of deception and deceiver.

I stopped using fb several months ago. Havn't used it since.

It just stopped being interesting. There were a couple of good pages like that page run by the /s4s/ guy and SPB 5000 but nothing really enough to keep me using it. Very little interaction in general.

By contrast, Sup Forums is constantly moving and you can always jump right into an interesting discussion.

The only people I've heard talking about using Faceberg are the older people in the 30-80 range lately.

I assume lots of people still use Facejew, but it's probably more for messenger amongst younger people I've noticed.

I know senpai same i really hope this guy runs in 2020 just so i can have the pleasure, to see trump do what he does best makes these politically correct liberals look like retards.

Technically Sup Forums is a social media platform because tripcodes allow stable networks of users to be established.

R.I.P. Myspace. I feel the same way. It really was the shit back in the day.

Any oldfags fucked around with Xanga? It was Facebook tier drama turned up to a 20 but boy, when you’re 10 years old, being the most emo fuck out of all your friends was the life. It’s also super customizable.

Holy hell, can the Instagram shilling be anymore obvious? GTFO Mark Shekelberg!

...

Yes, all Americans of breeding age are too depressed to post or are committing suicide over Trump winning. NOT. FUCK OFF, SHILL.

Myspace was so much fucking better, honestly.

FB has no free speech. if you spout racebait on FB in Germany or Austria you actually might get sued by some insane normie.

people are sick of surveillance and FB taking up too much time in their lives.

Is this true?

It's going the way of Myspace.

Twitter is where it's at now.

Depends on how many friends you have like everyone else on Sup Forums I have zero but I still use FB as a salt mine because shitting on sjws and virtue signaling cucks is just fun

This brings back memories, only with grey frames and dial up. The day mum got a warning from AOL... she hit the roof yelling at me, then began yelling at my dad because he thought it was funny that "Leatherbabe" had trolled the bejesus out of chat rooms and also pissed off numerous sci-fi groups.. Dawn of normie internet, and I troll before it has a name. Lol go fig.

>ywn again make a passive aggressive or vaguely suicidal sounding away message so the cute girls will tell you how much you’re loved
I want to be in middle school again

all the html noobs that had 7 embeded songs play simultaneously on page load

somebody could probably make a load of money if they rebooted a myspace-like social media that was easier to customize for the basic user but still allow full customization for someone that knew code

Germany is full of anti free speech Nazis who fucking knew? But at least Austria has the nuts to tell muzzie women they can't burqa...for now

Tripfags are gay

Dude I fucking hate Twitter.

I had an account for like 2 days. I tweeted a smug pepe at a comedian who was crying when Sup Forums shut down a bunch of comedy clubs for "Safety Issues" (the right-wing safety squad meme).

This comedian reposted my profile picture and an army of SJWs started tweeting at me. I just deleted my account immediately.

I didn't realize how...uh...sensitive that platform was.

Plus Twitter only seems like a good platform if you are a popular public figure.

...

Back in them days it was called flaming

I'm 19 and just deleted facebook and instagram. only keeping messenger, fuck social media.

Just explaining that this site is social media.

>SJW babes start targeting you
>Deletes account immediately
Wtf, user?

>profile customization was nearly limitless
You could add JAVASCRIPT to your page.

Found a fellow old fag! Cheers.

Good for you. You're way ahead of the game for your age. Don't get sucked into that bullshit.

Yeah...I started getting paranoid they were going to find out where I work and get me fired or something

>Not just laughing and posting more memes to upset them
This is why you did not get quads

>And as for Twitter, I literally only use it to like every single tweet by Trump

Politicians aren't your friends

Ah the golden age of the web eh. MySpace... chat rooms... limewire.

This decade has been utter shite by comparison

Twitter was dead on arrival for most normies. It was never big outside of public figures, niggers, and third world plebs.

Are SJW retards even capable of doxing? Seems like it's out of their league.

The nice thing is you can just make a new account whenever you get banned.

You didn't make a personal account, did you?

You can literally be a nobody and become an eceleb with thousands of followers by reposting popular opinions. And after that you can trolling or "red pilling".

They are capable. Don't underestimate the little shits.

I'm always shocked when people actually use facebook, rather than just for organizing / keeping track of gigs and parties and events and shit. It's basically a lazy persons calendar at this point.

>Twitter was dead on arrival for most normies.
Not really. Normies are just stuck on facebook, just like how there were all those hold outs that refused to switch from myspace.

Don’t complete delete Facebook. Put work and school history on there, along with pleasant public posts about accomplishments and travels. Good when potential employers or dates are googling you.

Are you a woman? You fucking nigger.
