    Do people make friends on Facebook? I thought Facebook was the place old people went to learn new ways to be racist.

      That’s just not fair, it’s also the place old people go to get their news propaganda.

      It’s also where you try to see if your cute coworker has any feet pics.

        But so was reddit. And Google used to be way less evil. I guess I don’t really have a point. Just remembering when websites didn’t suck.

        Even during its peak, the only real use i got out of facebook was being reminded of people’s birthdays. Now i just ignore them all, it’s much easier that way.

      I’m part of a few groups and have been talking with the members for years. Some have become friends without ever meeting them irl

        Yeah but when you’re young and stupid you have this idea that some slightly less young people are “old”. I remember when I was young and stupid thinking someone who was 18 was “old”.

        The thing to look forward to is when these kids’ music starts getting played on “golden oldies” radio channels.

        Yeah I love reading a long series of rants about how it’s bullshit that the person in question got a temp ban for threatening to commit acts of terrorism.

    Imagine how grateful Zuckerberg must be that Musk made such a titanic public ass of himself and his platform that Facebook looks like the reasonable alternative.

    Facebook is just the place I log into to be reminded of the stuff I forgot I volunteered for.

        Huh? I don’t recall there ever being a subscription for FB. I also use social fixer extension which helps
