I belong to 3 groups -all places that I used to live, also an old school group where I keep in touch with old school friends. I have several cousins who I don’t get to see as they live too far away and we all keep in touch on FB.
I enjoy keeping in touch with people from my past.

No. I wouldn’t know how to, and I live a quiet life.

I use messenger so have to have a Facebook account. I occasionally look at other peoples photos but never post anything.
My nephew posted photos of himself and partner at the airport off on holiday??‍♀️. Nuts.

I'm on it but don't post things that some do - photos of the meal I've had or bragging about holidays, for example.

I am, but don’t post anything any longer.

I find it really good for interest groups.

I briefly was but found it pointless.

Too much this and that about nothing and then so many photos of people I didn’t know.

I don’t understand what you mean CoffeeFirst1? You can block all posters you don’t want to see, including adverts so all you see is posts from your friends and groups you have actively joined. You don’t have to have posts you make publicly available either - it’s a tool to use to suit you.

Nope.

Yes, I like the local pages, history pages and market place. I do not have any ‘friends’ added nor do I post anything.

Keeleklogger Tue 17-May-22 18:21:35

Yes I am on Facebook, I moderate 2 local village group pages

I have a Facebook account but rarely use it. It's all adverts and faux meaningful posts from people I don't know.

Yes, I don't post much myself but I have a lot of much younger friends who communicate by messenger. I also belong to several groups and we arrange meetings etc via the fb group. tbh I also have some interesting things "pop" up on fb but I don't spend much time on it.

No I left years ago and I’ve been happier without it. My best friend sits on it constantly and barely lifts her head up to chat. It’s good for promoting businesses though. It does have its uses.

No
