Like I had accepted that Facebook would just borglike reproduce other networks’ functionality, but as like an option on top of the feed I’ve been used to since 2003, but the feed itself seems to have kind of become NextDoor recently

Which probably makes more sense for a general-use social network in 2021 than “by legacy analogy to all your college classmates trapped with you on campus”, really

\n

As I never tire of repeating, I was one of the first 6,000 users of Facebook and in all the time it’s never been as bad for me as people have often made it out as, and I’m increasingly sure it’s because I regularly prune my friends list by going through and asking myself “do I recognize this person as someone in my life”
