I am in my 50s and have never had a facebook account. I never will - but honestly I have been tempted to recently because apparently Craigslist is all scammers now and Facebook Marketplace is the go-to for local used buy/sell. If I could make a “marketplace only” account I would because I like to buy/sell used. But I can’t so oh well.

Unfortunately, my generation got on there and *they will never fucking leave.* It's like the previous generation with AOL.

I refer to it as "Boomer Social" as it is the exclusive form of communication for family members over 60. When I purged my Meta accounts, finally, I completely lost contact with my sister. Seems that old people who were around for email being the norm can't manage to use it anymore...

For some reason its very popular in Asia, according to my partner who is Thai and 23 years old. But then they don't really use anything else (well, tiktok and Line, but rarely Insta or twitter). I guess facebook is just decent for all kinds of media, be it text, images, videos or links
