This isn't the Lounge.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Between the increasing amount of ads to join FB and this plans, I think it's the Swan Song for FB. Time to reach MySpace and our friend Tom Anderson, what a nice chap.

I hope so. I hope also that Zuckerman joins the homeless under some bridge, but that's probably too much to hope for...

Even should he fall, he has a very tall and very soft mattres. He will hardly become homeless if he plays his cards right, as Tom Anderson did.
I care not about his personal wealth - I just hope for cancerbook, its entire business model and the general Big Tech manipulation of information to die and stay dead.

It will never happen because "we" want social media. If there is a demand, someone will fill it.
It's our own fault.

Times are changing, current trend is to have no longer social media but stages: T*kT*k, Instakilo, OnlyFools, Youtube (the only one I don't warp because it hosts tons of useful content), Twatch and so on.
Twatter is basically dead, Fakebook is dying, Tumblr is dead. The alternatives have no appeal because there is no longer a wish for that kind of service. Reddit goes on but it's different, as it is much more akin to the old ForumFree, which was an easy to set forum, which was the successor of bulletin boards: Internet was born to exchange ideas, informations and opinions after all.

Highly unlikely. But even if they are, something just as annoying will take their place. People will always want to brag, share, and troll.

Then social media will never die. We might call it something else but people will always want to share things with others.

It assimilated Instagram, Whatsapp, Oculus and some other small fry. The objective, or at least the direction, is monopoly and total control.

Isn't that a communication app?

This is gaming and VR, right?
So what if a company wants to have more than one product?

But there are competing communication platforms and also competing VR platforms so they aren't and won't be a monopoly.
But what do you mean by total control?

In our dreams. Most observers think that they do a "Google -> Alphabet parent company rebranding" kind of thing. Brands such as Farcebook & Instagranny are prolly too valuable.

"replaced"... changing name and logo and saying we are a brand new company that will do no evil... yeah, right!

I wonder if "Mordor" is already taken? "Jigoku" might also work.

One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. The great eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash, and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume.
I'd say it fits pretty well ...
