    I actually kinda miss 2010 Facebook where everything being posted was actually from my friends. It was almost exciting to log on and see what was up.

    Now I’m in a few group chats but those aren’t quite as active unless some event is coming up for that group

      The move between seeing “your brother in law took the kids to the zoo” to “your brother in law liked this trash article” was such a jarring transition.

        It was awful.

      Facebook went to hell when they let our parents and grandparents on. Not that they are to blame, but it was the beginning of the end.
