Connecting people. Communication between friends. Social events.

So, maybe learn to use it better? Less? Not at all?

I wish people who actually use it and benefit from it would be taken more seriously on HN. This is pretty stark "silent majority" scenario.
It’s purpose being?
Maybe it’s the use I make of it, but it doesn’t add much to my life. It could go away and I could replace any of its function with something else, or not miss the function at all.
Cambridge Analytica/Obama campaign data fiascos aside, many are arguing more and more that Facebook is doing more damage than good to society.
Granted, this is hard to measure, but it’s a valid concern.
