How old is old? I'm 26 and use it a lot as if it were another forum, unmoderated, where I can shitpost and fight with strangers. To talk to other people I only use Whatsapp

Is Facebook for Old People?

Old graph. Vine? lol
Man, I'm now part of a secund group instead of the younger ones? Shit
This?
My problem with all new social networks is that I just want to SAY WORDS IN A NONDIRECTED FASHION TO MY FRIENDS and then have my friends reply to me. Nothing else fucking has that basic feature and it is wildly annoying. I don't want to post a picture to talk about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Mainly just use it for work, the messenger is handy though I'll admit. Stuff like Snapchat and Instagram pretty much baffle me. For just browsing I stick with Twitter and this place here.
Haha same here. As soon as I started getting friend requests from all my older family members, I dipped.
Probably but I use it daily for my hobby groups, buy/sell groups and event pages. I don't use Instagram or anything, it's pointless to me.
I remember back when you had to have a .edu email address to join and your college being added was cause for celebration.
Facebook was the hit shit back in the mid 2000s

I don't mind that its full of old folk, which it is. It's full of shite is my problem with it. It doesn't seem to matter who you engage with or follow it's just wall to wall shite.
I haven't downloaded it yet but for people who more or less use facebook exclusively for events, they spun events out into a standalone app. Probably going to make the jump in the near future.
Every time I see a thread about Facebook on Era it feels like people are constantly try to one-up each other about how much they don't use it.
I still use it, mostly for memes and shitposting. There are also lots of good, active meme groups with young users (or at least on my late 20s-early 30s range.) "Leftbook" is a thing for a reason. If all you see are grandmas sharing Minions or right wing shit, then that's on you.

I think that the usage between my friends (25~35) has increased lately. A lot of them were using only instagram. But yeah, old people use it a lot. And they are arriving to instagram...XD
Also... Facebook for events is still a thing for people here in Rio.

I'm in the same boat. Pretty much all my peers seem to have jumped to Instagram, but it just doesn't appeal to me at all. I don't want to post pictures all the time.
If Facebook wasn't such a data mining shithole I'd have no problem with the age of average users.
People share what's going on in their life. Most people who have kids- that's what is going on in their life. Not sure what you are expecting them to share.
The only reason I have a Facebook account still is due to my wife posting a lot of photos of my son on there, so I keep it around so I can see them. Otherwise, I would delete my account pretty quick. I hate Facebook.
Yes. I was on facebook for a couple years and I came late to the party. I felt like a tool and couldn't take it anymore. It's so embarrassingly bad. When you post on facebook, you're shouting into a crowd of people and wanting someone to respond for you. That's not how healthy communication works. It's so unbelievably vain.
Of course, twitter is much the same, except twitter is a better platform for following creators I suppose. But if you're just shouting into the wind thinking you're clever, you're a vain idiot.

It's been for old people for the past ten years
Ever since they opened it to people who weren't college kids it's blown ass (and not in a good way).
