I haven't logged into Facebook in almost two years. I can't imagine much has changed since my last visit. I do enjoy using Messenger for its convenience, but Facebook as a social platform is long dead for me.

Never used FB with the exception of creating a dummy account in high school to host a project page. Graduating university in a month and I may have to bite the bullet on it as my internship uses FB to connect the interns together. So far, I have enough distractions with Reddit, Twitter, and Hacker News (and various other forums) that I never felt like I was missing out on the FB punch bowl.

Ditto.

A lot of my friends/family don’t get it, they think I’m making some sort of political statement, really I just got bored of it.

i use it all the time to keep up to date on my friends, I used it to be informed about my class reunion, and there's now a "I grew up in <Hometown> group" that I enjoy because it posts historical photos and reminiscences.

But, what I absolutely cannot stand is people constantly posting propaganda memes.

They've rounded some corners, made some things more bubbly, and well, that's about it mostly.
