what if your friends used it too?

would there be more content (as they seek to connect to real peopl), or less (as they leave)?

Most of my friends have already gone from fb, and I don't post there any more really either. Still check it most days in case I have messages.

If the "you might like" "why not follow" "reels" and other crap was gone, I guess there could be some sort of revival. But it might be too late.

Because instead we've splintered into various discords, and those sorta-aquaintanceships that old fb was quite good at keeping alive have basically fallen away.

Let's not kid ourselves. They won't.
