I have belonged to several fb groups and almost all of them are basically dead. There is only one, it is on a very specific healthcare subject, and that group is active, fortunately. So I'd say that Facebook is drastically slower. As is Instagram. I exited Twitter years ago; it has become rife with rubbish, ads, and...rubbish. Time-waster. I will forever miss MySpace because of the music, but that's a done deal many memories ago.

So it's not just forums that have slowed down. Really, I see more activity here than in most places. Social media, while still breathing, is definitely asthmatic.
Yeah I remember Facebook in its infant days when it was way more active but now it has really slowed down. I deleted my previous twitter account but apparently you are required to have an account in order to find out reliable public transit information that they only put up on twitter so I had to create a new account just for that. I have instagram and Flickr too but I don't post as much as I once have. Tik Tok is now the biggest thing out there but eventually that will slow down with the passage of time just like any other site.
