Facebook was popular in the era when it wasn't used as a people directory however. It was used as instagram is currently until older people came in and the website became very commercialized.

I don’t literally mean a people director but closer to that than what IG is. Are you referring gtfo Facebook pre 2008? That’s a small time period to look at since that’s when it exploded in popularity and would otherwise be a relatively quaint site and company if it stayed the way it was in 2006, 2007. It still remained close enough to the same for me until maybe 2012 at earliest.

I agree - the best memories of FB I have is when people I know used it to post updates about their lives, often via sharing photos. AKA what Instagram used to be like before Stories took over.
