This is why there will always be a place for discussion forums. Facebook did destroy a lot of communities, but many forums, including ours, weathered the social media storm and continued to flourish. Forums = Community. Group effort, topic orented, conversation driven. Social Media (before) = Me, me, me me me. Social Media (now) = Me me me but in video form. Facebook's big changes could mean the end of the old social network era: Here's how we're all in a TikTok world now Facebook wants to better compete with TikTok — and the changes it's making to do that likely mark the end of the social network as we know it. No longer will Facebook be primarily a place to connect with friends and acquaintances.

Oh my English. 😬 Ever since Mark Zuckerberg used the 'Meta' to rebrand Facebook, I have been intrigued by this word. Many of the new IT terminology have also flummoxed me as to how understand them.
