My social media in my formative years was email and usenet. I never understood Facebook, never used it.

I think Facebook's stated goal is at odds with the way the platform presents itself and how people use it.
Facebook should be a great way to connect with people new and old and keep in touch with other people's lives and maybe plan real life events. But Facebook's home page is a newsfeed that rarely shows you posts from friends that you care about and you have to go out of your way to make use of the platform's better features. Also, since most people don't unfriend/unfollow old connections, as time goes on, Facebook's utility naturally goes down.

The reason to even look at it. I never did. It didn't seem to solve any problem I had.
Was a very early user on FB (the week it launched at my college), but now I can’t be bothered to keep up.
My kids are probably young enough to be maybe 2-3 cycles removed from whatever the Next Big App is, but I can’t even really fathom what those might be and I can assure you I won’t understand them.
I sound like my dad 15 years ago…
