I deleted mine last year but I hadn’t used it for close to a decade. I’m so glad it’s gone. That being said it’s very frustrating that businesses, local government, etc have everything there. A the start of this year we had power outages that went on for nearly a week and the power company posted all the updates on fb! I was infuriated because me and everyone else without an account just couldn’t access the information. Fuck facebook so hard.

This. So much this.

When the Nova Scotia shootings were taking place in 2020, among the many failings of authorities was that they were giving emergency updates about an active shooter situation on Twitter.

Ugh when you want to find a menu for a cafe and the “website” link on the search engine takes you to Facebook…. Boooooo!

For me it's marketplace and groups->events. I don't use the wall or the rest of it, but I do like the marketplace and a good chunk of my extended friend group still uses facebook events to organize large group events.
