I read the meme in the way that it feels like telling people you're not on social media since you're on none they know.
Also: is Facebook really still a thing?
It can be surprising because lemmy's demographic is like the opposite of facebook's but, yeah, it really still is a thing.
A tip I often hear given to new start ups is to not underestimate how many people are only on facebook.
Where I live, Facebook is used by baby boomers, so yes it's still used. But that's the cliche. When I log in, I still see some millennials being at least online and some even posting unironically. But it's mainly dead for millennials
Can't say for OP but it still very much is where I live. People use groups for all sorts of things (neighborhood chats, classes, hobbies) and Messenger is the go-to way to contact everyone (which I admit has one advantage over all other mainstream means of contact, which is not requiring to share one's phone number, only name)
