Opened account in 2004 or 5 when it was a novelty ( probably at the same time I registered to MySpace). I was mildly active on FB probably for the next 10 years or so, and stopped posting some 5 years ago. Don't miss it a bit.
If you were a college or HS student or FB employee, you could have done this, but it wasn't until 9/26/2006 that they allowed anyone with an email address to create an account.
Location: As of 2022….back to SoCal. OC this time!

All I know is I was in high school when I created my 1st & only account that I still have.^^ It was just friends back then. BUT several yrs later older ppl took over AND I had a lot of family as friends.
I have a Fakebook page, but ignore it. There's something great in letting it languish, maybe only post an insignificant message every five years or so; show visible contempt for it.
I read the 1st and 6th pages, everyone doesn't have Facebook. I enjoy it and go no Facebook every morning and evening. I am in a bunch of different Facebook groups so I get a big variety.
I deleted my Facebook account in January 2021 in response to the rampant censorship (I follow politics). I had previously deleted Twitter off my phone because it seemed to be just a bunch of strangers calling each other Nazi and Commie.
Last night I added Twitter back onto my phone, just to see what was going on. Plenty of jokes flying around about Elon's purchase, but nothing I can't live without. Might delete it again.
No. I don't have a Facebook account. I used to be very active on Twitter but for the past 6 months I only check it @ once per week. That's my only social media ID.
I have a FB account and I enjoy following family, friends and professional colleagues . I like seeing what they are doing . I do get important news about my profession from there. My problem is that the political stuff got so rampant and some were so nasty that I ended up not following some folks as I didn't want to see it and comment on it. I have never been on Twitter or Tiktok or any of the others as I have heard second hand what a sewer it is.
I haven't logged in in 12 or 13 years. I suppose the shell account I had is still there. But not using FB can be a PITA though. I hate to click on a link for public information for something and have it go to a FB page that's locked down.
That's how it is here. All businesses are on FB so they don't have to host their own website.
I knew I didn't want it from the get-go. Now, when it's old hat, our condo HOA wants to create a FB page for updates so they don't have to email everyone (big whoop, it's group email). Sigh.
Family knows we're not on it, so they are forced to email which I think is good for them, or they might forget how, lol.
