I love in Atlanta and when I turned 21 (a couple years ago, but post 2020) I was kinda irritated because literally everything in the entire city was planned on Facebook Events, and I hated using Facebook.
It's overwhelmingly popular, especially in the 30+ crowd, not even restricted to your 55+. Genuinely everyone would create Facebook events (before Partiful got popular) to invite people over on a Saturday
Hey you keep us 30 somethings out of this. I don't know anyone my age still on Facebook. We're leaving Instagram too. Fuck social media and fuck platforms owned and controlled by billionaires.
I'm still on there, primarily because a band I'm in uses it for events invites and uses Messenger for coordination group texts
Amazing how an entire age group doesn't think and act the same tho - almost as if they're actually individuals. Who would have guessed?
