I mean, you don’t need Facebook to do any of those things you listed. People can still call, or text, or use a myriad of different messaging apps like Signal, Telegram, Viber etc.You don’t need Facebook to find out about events or concerts and the like either.
Yeah, apart from what another person said about alternative apps… Events organized by local communities or businesses are often advertised in Facebook only. I know of a few local businesses in my area with Facebook being their only online presence.
I mostly use Signal and SMS for a few people. Facebook isn’t worth it just for Marketplace. Online shopping isn’t that important, let alone for second hand goods.
Maybe it’s because they have to? Keeping in touch with older relatives, following local events, etc

And they are shooting themselves in the foot.
I use discord and text messaging for my family. People keep telling me to get Facebook for marketplace but I’ll use other sites for that.
