Been on Facebook for what feels like forever – honestly can’t even remember life before it. It’s basically the OG social network where you connect with friends, family, and that random person you met at a concert once. These days it’s not just about posting status updates though – there’s Marketplace for buying weird secondhand stuff, Groups for every niche interest imaginable, and Reels that are basically TikTok but on Facebook.
Here’s what you actually do: scroll through your feed of memes, baby photos, and political arguments from your uncle. You can join groups about literally anything – I’m in one for sourdough baking and another for vintage video games. Marketplace’s pretty solid for finding cheap furniture or selling stuff you don’t need anymore. And the AI thing? It’s there but I don’t really use it much.
Look, if you’re trying to stay in touch with people or find local buy/sell groups, Facebook’s still the place to be. It’s not as cool with the younger crowd anymore and the algorithm can be kinda weird sometimes, but for keeping up with family and finding that specific vintage lamp you’ve been wanting? It gets the job done.
