I use it solely to talk to friends and family members who I otherwise wouldn’t be in touch with. I don’t participate in groups or get into arguments or anything like that. That, plus being able to dismiss things like political ads so you never have to see them (at least for now), make it acceptable for me to use. I wouldn’t say it’s a great experience in any way, but it isn’t bad enough for me to find new ways to keep in touch with those people.
My main use case for facebook now is buying used shit locally on Marketplace, since they have effectively killed craigslist with it. It’s where I found my motorcycle. As an actual social network experience it sucks ass.
I’m one of those who just walked away.
I checked out Facebook recently because I needed help moving and it was the quickest way to ask everyone I knew.
That shit is like 90 percent ads and clickbait tick tocks now. It’s fucked. I don’t understand how people can use it without becoming enraged.

I just started texting my friends and family more. It’s been better and now when I see Facebook I wonder why I ever liked it in the first place.
