Now that Meta released its Muse Spark model, more people are downloading the Meta AI app. And if you join the app, your friends will probably get an Instagram notification about it.
I am in my 50s and have never had a facebook account. I never will - but honestly I have been tempted to recently because apparently Craigslist is all scammers now and Facebook Marketplace is the go-to for local used buy/sell.
If I could make a “marketplace only” account I would because I like to buy/sell used. But I can’t so oh well.
Marketplace is very alive and kicking, it’s shocking how much more active it is since COVID.
I will also say that FB has sucked a lot of attention away from traditional forum spaces - Australia’s Netrider for example. It’s much better to seek answers and ask questions in the motorcycle Facebook page for your model. Sadly. The introduction of anonymous group posting is a good thing though.
I have tried multiple times. I get flagged for identification every time. And the identification fails. Even if I try to video my face. I guess they don’t want me there.
Nextdoor also works for buying and selling junk, but it’s basically as terrible as Facebook at this point. Nearly every post is full up with brunchlords and Karens.

You can make an account without using your real details. Just stick to the browser and don’t use their app.

Wow that’s crazy! I literally covered my head with a towel and stuck some sunglasses over it and they approved my verification
