Different generations choosing different platforms I guess: >40 using facebook and <25 joined Snapchat.
Don’t know why you got downvoted. There is absolutely an “age” component to why people use a certain platform.
Social platforms have enormous retention leverage also. Once all your friends are there…
The age component is absolutely a reason and so is the leverage of the community and friends like you said. No doubt about it. It’s herd mentality and FOMO. Finally it is also how easy to get in and stay sucked in. These other platforms have the dopamine trigger game figured out on their apps. Fediverse doesn’t have that so much, other than the organic “did someone reply to me?” feeling. If you don’t engage then fediverse is not pulling you in.
Ngl FB Messenger is way better than Snapchat.
I don’t like Meta but at least the app feels like it isn’t making its users even more ADHD by the minute
