Should think Facebook has changed a lot in the past 10 yrs in terms of use/layout etc

Sorry this should read do you think??

What now? FFS

What now? confused FFS

I get it, not sure what's so confusing

I'm not sure, I didn't use Facebook at all ten years ago.

I used Facebook all the time in 2010, but I deactivated my account about five years ago so now I don't use it at all.

I used to chat to friends publicly. Now I contact by DM if I want to talk.to them. I spend most if my time in groups not on my wall.

I think people are using it less. Not so many ‘Joyce has had a lovely breakfast’ status updates. Less photos being posted.
I use mine for local info and my business. Not much for personal use.

Yes, massively.

But I work in the field.

I think so. There used to be a lit note annoying games. I know people that used to post a lot that don't post much any more. There seems more arguing with strangers about Brexit. Advertising is more targeted. I think older people use it more and younger people use Instagram etc. You dont see as much conversation on peoples walls, I think they message over whatsapp etc now. I personally dont see a million posts of someones night out anymore either

I love our local town Facebook page for info and recommendations.
I don't post much at all.
My teenager doesn't want an account so I think it will eventually be used a lot less by the next generation who are more into the next trendy app!

Compared to 2005/6... Massively. It was students only then.
Now it's more business, schools, clubs etc. Plus keeping up with people you don't see often rather than your Study group.

They are brilliant doe support groups.

Far fewer 'Sandra is feeling ...' posts. And, as a pp said, far fewer pics of nights out. My wall is now full of posts from groups (Can I breastfeed it it?' and the like), and more advertising.
A lot of people who do post pictures, mind you, are virtually unrecognisable, due to all the smooth skin, white teeth, etc, filters they use.

Less poking now.
