While I never used tiktok: why FB and not TikTok? Or did it get so much worse since I stopped using it 10 years ago?
Edit fb is terrible because boomers hunt for you there and the “everyone’s life is so fucking perfect” thing makes you depressive. Especially because it mostly shows you people you know in Reallife.

a social media, so everyone tries to be something they are not.
the short content kills your attention span.
the content makes you measurably more stupid (fucking YouTube shorts are the same)
the algorithm get’s even more data, because it measures how you react to stuff and not only what you and others share
controlled by the CCP, so I suspect some agenda (look up what TikTok is like in china, it is effectively another program (interesting and educational stuff mixed with chinese propaganda))
still growing while fb is officially growing but like more and more people I know stopped using it. Could be bubble, could be that new markets are opening and some regions are declining, could be active users leaving but bots are being counted.

In truth, all corporate, algorithm-based social media is vile. The fediverse is an order of magnitude less toxic.
