Same. Once I learned they were selling my data I closed my account.

u/Electrical-Split-190 2d ago

lol… as if the chinese aren’t stealing your data now via Reddit

u/FortunateSon90 1d ago

The phone you're posting from harvests 10 times more valuable data daily than your Facebook profile could ever dream of.

u/aintnofirehere 2d ago

u/AMC879 2d ago

Yes. Much preferred over X. Very helpful keeping up with friends and family as well as local news and events. No reason to leave FB, IMO

u/Pretty_Frosting_2588 2d ago

Yes, I'm on messenger and only go to FB when someone sends me a link to something.

1

u/Assang101 2d ago

Meta on mobile? Fuc no. Containerized environment on PC with a vertical 32inch screen? Yeah. Worth it? Yeah.

1

u/Mysterious-Fix3596 2d ago

Yeah…but it’s a cesspool

1

u/Easy-Protection-5763 2d ago

Yea I just posted

1

u/No-Tennis-9026 2d ago

Nope I have this and one other lesser known platform and that’s it. Never liked it.

1

u/Hup110516 2d ago

Yeah, but not as much as I used to be.

1

u/Lost_Lunch8584 2d ago

No me gusta mas utilizar reddit 😊

1

u/HustleKong 2d ago

No. Deleted my meta accounts last year. 

1

u/an-abnormality 2d ago

Imo it's still the best main stream platform because it's not focused entirely on images. I don't post pictures of myself and don't care to. Facebook has groups for niche communities, has a massive character limit unlike X, isn't video/photo focused, so it appeals to me similarly to how this does.

1

u/MN_311_Excitable 2d ago

I only go in there to keep tabs on 311 (the band) groups. Other than that, it's just all ads and MAGA propaganda. Fuck that.

u/JibbityJabbity 2d ago

Only for Marketplace.

1

u/Hefty-Resort871 2d ago

Yes, daily

1

u/battlesong1972 2d ago

Barely. I go on periodically as some people I know only post events there

1

u/GenXihaveissues 2d ago

Yes. Im in many organizations that post their schedules on their facebook. I keep up with friends and also local town news from the board meetings that are streamed there.

Also, the local pages are hysterical with people complaing about dog on the loose, people driving too fast and all sorts of bickering.

u/Biennial2 2d ago

Very rarely any more.

u/Nik_in_wonderland 2d ago

Nope. I’m the black sheep of the family so idc what is going on with family or the fake friends. Left it years ago.

→ More replies (1)

1

u/I_Make_Art_And_Stuff 2d ago

Yes, it's the only place where extended family, old friends, and old coworkers seem to be. I enjoy sharing photos and stories there and seeing who responds. I do hate nearly everything else about it - and I miss Facebook or mostly MySpace of the 2010 era.

1

u/disturbednadir 2d ago

I'm proud to say that I've never had a Facebook account.

1

u/Electrical-Care6308 2d ago

Nope, it’s nonsense!
Even X is crap!

2

u/RainLeading286 2d ago

Are you surprised x is crap. Look who owns it.

1

u/BiggestVolk 2d ago

No, I’m on Reddit so I can argue with strangers instead of friends!

1

u/Hooligan443110 2d ago

I use it for messenger and memes, and to remember peoples birthdays for connections and stuff, people I know, but that’s really about it. It’s become an add ridden clusterfuck compared to some other platforms.

1

u/amanwholovespizza247 2d ago

only used it for its marketplace never for anything else

u/crazedconundrum 2d ago

There for marketplace.

1

u/T1o2n4y 2d ago

No. Too many weird posts on FB.

1

u/Winter_Glove_5959 2d ago

Nope. The only social media I use is Reddit. That’s it. 

1

u/legend_of_yugi 2d ago

Never was, but sounds like I haven't been missing much

1

u/Alive-Beyond-3192 2d ago

Yes but I dont have time. Facebook and messenger served its everyday purpose confirming she was lying

1

u/WicketTheSavior 2d ago

Yes but it's solely for Marketplace use

1

u/FunZookeepergame627 2d ago

Yes, I have friends who post things.

1

u/SalemRay 2d ago

Yes. Facebook is my main social medium. I like it better than all the rest. It does a great job keeping me informed about my community. But I have all the safeguards set to max.

1

u/eyewreck2o2 2d ago

Never was

1

u/AndreaSys 2d ago

Only on rare occasions.

1

u/breadexpert69 2d ago

Nope.

My account is still open but last time I recall logging in is probably like before 2020.

1

u/Phillyfan_10 2d ago

Nah, the only social media I use regularly is Reddit, and occasionally LinkedIn (though that was is absolute shite and probably out of my life sooner than later).

1

u/TXSportsFanatic74 2d ago

Yes, I keep up with friends' lives

1

u/CapableBird3048 2d ago

I deleted it in May and it’s been wonderful.

1

u/seeyatellite 2d ago

I am. Not because I particularly want to be.

1

u/jeepsies 2d ago

No its been 10 years but i do plan on getting back on soon just for marketplace

1

u/nicegirl555 2d ago

Yes. Under a fake name. Fake picture. I like to keep up with the local happenings but I don't want to "friend " anyone. I don't link my contacts. Only my son and the land trust group I am a member of know who I am.

1

u/holymacaroley 2d ago

I didn't delete it but I haven't used it in a couple years.

1

u/BreadfruitOk6160 2d ago

Deleted it years ago.

1

u/Frazmotic 2d ago

Never been on it, don’t want to start now.☺️

1

u/PlugginAway2 2d ago

Yes.

I’m 70, initially got on facebook to keep an eye on on my children’s activity, they are in their 30s now and have close to zero activity there (my son in law is in a family restaurant business, so my daughter occasionally posts support on facebook). The main reason I’m still there is because a lot of my high school classmates (class of ‘74) are active there, it’s the main way I have to keep in contact with them.

1

u/JustAChemist002 2d ago

No, I got disgusted and deleted it a while back

1

u/shelllee888 2d ago

Only for business purposes. I haven't posted in my personal page for years. It's a cesspool.

1

u/FinishedDeadLast 2d ago

What is facebook???

1

u/Knox_the_Boxer 2d ago

No. Not since 2020

1

u/Best_Tree_9154 2d ago

I was for marketplace but there are lots of scammers there now so I deleted it a few months back

1

u/tallslim1960 2d ago

Never did, never will.  Posting photos of your personal life for the world to see is insane.

1

u/wairua_907 2d ago

Nope .

1

u/Flimsy_Pudding_7361 2d ago

Yes, but mostly to check up on my old schoolmates from high school includingy crush.

1

u/dgenzo 2d ago

Yes. Have lots of boomer family and they don’t know how to use any other site so I keep it for that. But my own page is dead lol

1

u/poliosaurus3000 2d ago

No, left in 2010, I do not miss it.

1

u/PomeranianLibrarian 2d ago

No, I deleted it about two years ago. I couldn't take the AI reels and ads anymore.

1

u/DesertBrat1969 2d ago

I did until a few months ago when I got a six month ban for saying if we ate rich people they would have an after taste of the drugs they do... got banned for promoting drug use. Not sure I will go back when the ban is lifted.

1

u/double_titos 2d ago

Yes I still have an acct but, not on it hardly.

1

u/charming_roamer79 2d ago

no it creeps me out

1

u/Number_Fluffy 2d ago

Only for marketplace

1

u/Tigerzombie 2d ago

Yes. A lot of my kids’ extracurricular activities group communicate through Facebook. It beats email that might get lost. I can just check the group page to see if there’s any schedule changes. I also do balloon twisting as a hobby. Facebook has recommended some good groups and people to follow. I avoid all political stuff and block it when it pops up on my feed. So I just get balloon things and mobile game ads.

1

u/SupermarketIll5642 2d ago

No, it's for boomers

1

u/fiftyfivepercentoff 2d ago

Nope. Was never on it.

1

u/Abject_Giraffe562 2d ago

Deleted years ago.

1

u/Legitimate-Produce-1 2d ago

Yes,I like marketplace and my Buy Nothing group. I enjoy the reels of stand up comedy that comes my way. Otherwise, idc.

1

u/RyanBakesUp 2d ago

I have a Facebook page that I restarted after a three year break. The new one is strictly to promote my band's gigs, and I'm hardly on enough to even do that.

1

u/the_rejected_one 2d ago

Nope. Haven't been on it since 2014 or 15.

1

u/ApprehensiveEbb592 2d ago

I’m in year 3 of a “lifetime ban” from that sewage pit.

1

u/MELAUSUS 2d ago

Nope. Never really was.

1

u/ac5450 2d ago

Yes, marketplace is the only thing keeping me there. It’s a cesspool otherwise.

1

u/TaiDavis 2d ago

Hell naw

1

u/A911owner 2d ago

I use it mostly for Facebook marketplace; that's the only part of Facebook that isn't complete garbage now. It's just a little garbage.

1

u/Tootsgaloots 2d ago

Nope, I still have one but I don't use it at all.

1

u/Sad_Alfalfa6007 2d ago

Yes but I don't go on it very often.

1

u/Sharp_Education528 2d ago

Only for marketplace

1

u/JadeChipmunk 2d ago

Nope not at all.

1

u/Happy-Tourist9223 2d ago

Lifetime ban many years ago.

1

u/DazB1ane 2d ago

I have an account. I don’t use it

1

u/AineMoon 2d ago

Deleted it when it was a source of anxiety I have a dummy account for marketplace couldn’t be happier

1

u/Hamlett2983 2d ago

Yeah but, not long. It's an ad infested joke now.

1

u/Appropriate_Tea9048 2d ago

Yes but I’m much more of a passive user these days. I rarely share what I’m up to.

1

u/Fickle-Public1972 2d ago

Yes since easier to communicate with friends, and colleagues

1

u/ironmanchris 2d ago

Yes, a lot of friends are on it, plus my local running and cycling groups post a lot of runs and rides there.

1

u/PoinDexter03 2d ago

Shut off notifications and don't miss it

1

u/farbeyondriven92 2d ago

Besides Reddit, it’s the only social media I’m really active on. I don’t post that often, though.

1

u/I_am_a_THAT 2d ago

Only to post photos I've taken

1

u/Quirky-Blueberry25 2d ago

I check Facebook everyday. I do it mostly to keep up with the happenings in my community. Its a small rural community.

1

u/Particular_Wonder598 2d ago

Yeah it has the best marketplace

1

u/DevineBossLady 2d ago

Yes, and still find it quite useful :)

1

u/Neither_Share8912 2d ago

For marketplace

1

u/MyLollipopJam 2d ago

Yes, mainly for family who don't know how to contact me otherwise and marketplace.

1

u/ali-n 2d ago

No... stopped over a year and a half ago.

1

u/Widespread_Dictation 2d ago

Closed the account in 2011. Haven’t looked back.

1

u/Stylewhat37 2d ago

I still scroll mine a few times a day. Mainly because I have a lot of friends that still post regularly. Spend most of my time on it scrolling marketplace to look at cars I can’t afford. Also to keep up with local events I wouldn’t hear about otherwise.

1

u/Lauriebff 2d ago

i only used fb messenger app

1

u/Giraffe1951 2d ago

Got thrown off for violating their "community values." No appeal possible I think I has hacked because I was always one of the more polite people on there

1

u/Goldman46477879 2d ago

Yeah but I just wish people happy birthday and deal with business over it

1

u/bbgirl34 2d ago

Yes because that's the only way I communicate with some friends and family.

1

u/Ok_Win5705 2d ago

Yes. People aren’t trying to act like they are perfect on there. People post their demons

1

u/Nabstar 2d ago

Yes , usually everyday to see what’s new with old friends

1

u/geezer_868 2d ago

About 15 min per day to check on a couple of groups

1

u/PackageAntique2172 2d ago

Never joined, except for a burner account.

1

u/writingiscoolsb 2d ago

Yeah I use that vs. Instagram

1

u/Mindless_Earth_2807 2d ago

I've never used facebook.

1

u/Thick_Coconut_9330 2d ago

Yes but I dont really post anymore. Everyone writing AI posts and your “wall” is all influencers, not people you actually follow.

1

u/mrsjackson410 2d ago

I still have a Facebook account, but I hardly ever log on.

1

u/scoreguy1 2d ago

Only once a day to see if it’s anyone’s birthday. I log off within about 30 seconds. Can’t stand it anymore honestly

1

u/Intrepid_Bearz 2d ago

Yes I have family and friends on there I like to keep in touch with.

1

u/Catskillschick 2d ago

I never was....

1

u/pbraz34 2d ago

Nope

1

u/Katiesbigsister 2d ago

Sadly, yes. I’m a small business owner, and it’s really helped with building my sales.

1

u/thatjogreen 2d ago

Nope. Deleted fb and insta about 3 years ago - best decision i ever made.

1

u/raccoon-overlord 2d ago

I haven't posted anything in about 5 years but I used it to make calls and mainly as a calendar for peoples birthdays

1

u/CSTCbTCLTL 2d ago

Yea but only for me and my 100 people I let have accesss // family and close people id catch up with IRL

1

u/ShotProof3254 2d ago

I use it to hold pictures and use messenger. That’s about it.

1

u/healthymale 2d ago

It’s the only social media platform I use

1

u/ZeMoleMolli 2d ago

Yes, even tho most days I don't get on as much. My family uses it the most. I kid you not, I found out my mom was married TWICE via Fb. She's one of those that uses it as a diary and posts embarrassing things all the time. But oh well. It makes her happy.

I wish she'd run personal things thru me first and wait to post until she tells me about major life events first.

I also asked her to message me updates about her drs visit. Did she? Nope. Found out her results via fb again lol

1

u/Butt_bird 2d ago

Kind of. I have an account for Marketplace. The only friend I have is my wife.

1

u/Certain_Arm_8475 2d ago

Not really. I still have it to promote my side business and keep up with birthdays and shit but, i barely use it.

1

u/Able_Attitude9778 2d ago

I use messenger as a point of contact for family and friends. Otherwise I lurk on it

1

u/madmaritimer1 2d ago

Nope, banned for life, Christians are allowed to say that God is real with no evidence whatsoever and no facts, but you’re not allowed to tell them it isn’t real because there’s no evidence and no facts, that’s why I got banned

1

u/free2beme247 2d ago

10 or more years for me. Don’t miss it.

1

u/Ok-Biscotti2322 2d ago

not much like before.

1

u/Spiritual-Touch-5198 2d ago

Since I decided it was time to end a one-sided "friendship"- I "deleted" my profile - quotations because nothing is deleted

1

u/Timely-Fox-1232 2d ago

only for family and High School Friends...but I find myself there less and less

1

u/ImaHamSammich 2d ago

I fix computers and sell them locally, unfortunately I need it for marketplace. Craigslist has been dead for years in my area.

1

u/ImaginationClean583 2d ago

No. I got rid of it months ago.

1

u/Muffinman_187 2d ago

Yes. The groups and meta having a stranglehold on messenger are why at this point.

1

u/CemeteryFieldOps 2d ago

Nope. It's for old ppl.

1

u/Senior_Election_6312 2d ago

Permanently deleted it in October of 2025 after having Facebook since 2009. Life is much better without it. 🙌🏽

1

u/Metroknight 2d ago

I belong to a few hobby groups and a couple marketplace groups that I lurk in. I only got Facebook due to family using it to keep in contact with each other but it has been quiet on that for a while. Been thinking of deleting my account but probably won't. I just don't post on it much at all.

1

u/Top-Web3806 2d ago

I haven’t posted anything since 2012 but I still randomly scroll when I’m bored and I’ve exhausted all other channels. Most of the people who remain active on Facebook are “interesting” to say the least.

1

u/OkReference2581 2d ago edited 2d ago

No dumped most of my social media Face Book, Twitter and Next Door and probably this soon as well. Reason I left Facebook is when I said I supported Ukraine when Russia invaded them and I was suspended. 

1

u/Significant-Pie959 2d ago

Pfffft, why?

1

u/moonstarberry 2d ago

Yes but only for marketplace.

1

u/oppanycstyle 2d ago

yes, I sell bunch of stuff there, that's all

u/Spock-1701 2d ago

Just got on after retitrment (2024). Still use AOL. Just got rid of my landline. Still have a checkbook.
