They lost ~$10b in net income in Q4 '22 and Q1 '23 so definitely a company in some level of distress, but Q2 saw them ~$7.5b in the black.

Meta net income

  • Q4 2023: USD 4.652Bn.

  • Q1 2023: USD 5.709Bn.

  • Q2 2023: USD 7.788Bn.

  • Q4 2022: Facebook monthly active users (MAUs) – MAUs were 2.96 billion as of December 31, 2022, an increase of 2% year-over-year.

  • Q1 2023: Facebook monthly active users (MAUs) – MAUs were 2.99 billion as of March 31, 2023, an increase of 2% year-over-year.

  • Q2 2023: Facebook monthly active users (MAUs) – MAUs were 3.03 billion as of June 30, 2023, an increase of 3% year-over-year.

User stigmata is correct and neither Meta nor Facebook are sinking, despite what we might want to believe.
