I deleted my Facebook in 2011. That's right, 12 years ago. It was bad then, I can't even imagine what a pile of shit it is now. It's all about perspective. You probably can't remember a time before Facebook existed, but I do.
15 years ago I had a Facebook account for about a month. My brother became a father over the weekend and I sent him a congrats message. Come in Monday and my coworker knew about it. "Yeah I am deleting this shit right fucking now".
Oh man, calling someone young on the internet to further your argument, you are old lol. I also used Facebook back in 2011, it also wasn't bad if your friends weren't assholes. I don't know what the hell you people are doing on Facebook either.
I'm like early 40s and a systems engineer for a company who builds oss software. I'm not og neckbeard, but I had a 2400 baud modem. I thought I had plenty of perspective 🤷♂️.
You're just a baby!
The wild stories and backgrounds you people invent when people disagree.
My first modem was 2400 baud on prodigy and I was using irc+ usenet well before torrents were a thing. I recall the pre aol internet, phpbbs, Internet forums, and my steam account ends in an @hotmail.com. I was on og face book when it was college only. I think my perspective and recollection is just fine.
