Both platforms are losing daily users more and more as time goes on. Several news outlets have covered this in just the last few weeks. Facebook is now facing criminal investigation for leaking private information and Twitter has gone too far with political toxicity and division so people are just not using it like before. I personally have not touched Facebook in nearly 10 years. I hardly use Twitter other than for my websites.
I somehow feel this is a good thing. Online communication is great. I have spent enough time on forums to know. But the thing is, forums and social media are two different animals entirely. Forums are social networks which focus on one main niche where social media is more personal and focuses directly on the user and what they want. For many people, that is just too much. I have seen families destroyed because of Facebook, people losing jobs because of Twitter... It is just a giant mess.
I hope this serves as a lesson to people and future generations to keep online privacy in mind and understand online common decency when communicating with other people.
