Pardon my ignorance, but as someone who has never used Facebook (I just saw some friends use it), what is FB Blue? From a cursory search, there is a hint of a redesign happening at some point, but that's it.

It's the main facebook app, blue is a nickname for it in SV circles. It's to differentiate it from their other apps insta, etc

I used "Blue" to criticise myself for not severing all ties to Facebook (I still use Instagram and WhatsApp) but just from Facebook, the social network (=blue). But I want to firmly distance myself from any SV circles! ;)

KaoruAoiShiho said "blue" was a nickname for the main facebook app "in SV circles" and probably meant: Silicon Valley Circles.

But now that I think of this I wish it was something more technical... [edit:typo]
