I was on FB almost from its inception. I joined in 2006 when it was exclusive to university students.
What it was then was a fun alternative to MySpace (lol) and a way of quickly communicating with other friends at uni.
What it is now is unrecognisable. I quit about 2 years ago and haven’t been back on since. In fact apart from some Instagram followings (mostly for car pictures) I’m not on any social media, including LinkedIn, twitter etc.
And I don’t miss any of it. I speak to the friends I want to speak to in RL or on the phone and it works just fine. . The 500+ ‘friends’ I had on FB were mainly just people I’d met a few times and would never normally speak to ever again. There’s only so many selfie pictures you can look at before you want to smash your face into a wall
