I used to be a facebooker but quit because there were only two types of discussions: 1. Sacarine, insipid, endless repititions o some for of "isn't that cute!? or 2. Your rotten #@%&&)&&^%$#@!! etc don't know what you are talking about. Any attempt at respectful, thoughtful discussion aimed at solving problems or coming to agreement always went back to type #2.

I don't hate Facebook but.... Hey liook at that kitten.

It's okay. I don't really follow my friends. I use it for article sites mostly but I spend too much time trawling for something interesting. The targeted ads are useful although a bit repetitive.

Only reason I stick with fb is so I can check out what’s going on with family and to get an idea of what’s going on in the world. I ditched cable last spring and I don’t care to watch the news so much these days.

My homeschool co-op uses it for planning and communication. I get the reasons some are reticent. But, it fits in it's place in my life.

I use it a lot. I check it at intervals, all day, every day. Like all social media it does what you want it to but you need to be aware of privacy settings and also have a fact-checking site readily available if you use it for news!

Like any other tool available out there...it is what you make of it

I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love it because it helps me keep in touch with so many family and friends. But, hate it for all of the drama it causes. I just broke up with Facebook about three weeks ago and deactivated my account. I work at a police department and we currently have a local highly publicized incident going on in the department. I was getting myself so upset seeing all of the comments from the "Court of Facebook" by people not even knowing all of the facts. That, in addition to the politics and ignorant Trump supporters, I finally had enough. I'm not regretting the break up at all! I feel relieved now!

I alternate between loving and hating it, depending upon the last post I read.

i LOVE IT.. i have many contacts.. I post things that hopefully may do some good.. how much? I don't know but I hope to put out good words and information so that people can make decisions for themselves. sometimes it's just fun..and I play scrabble on it.. anyone up for scrabble?

I use it to communicate with people. I like chatting with people from other countries - it is educational.

I think it depends what you use it for. Most of my facebook activity is engaging with friends and family, seeing what is going on in their lives. I make comments on a couple of pages that I follow, and occasionally on the page of someone I know, but that's about it. I try NOT to engage in political debates because there's no point in it, but occasionally I get so pissed off by someone's idiocy that I have to say something. Facebook makes me feel connected to people whose lives I would otherwise know nothing about. It's kind of like a visual version of a Christmas letter, but more frequent and with random timing. (I LIKE Christmas letter, by the way!)

Love hate relationship with FB.

I mean they bring me Star Trek Catposting so they can't be all bad right?

And I can check in on family who is spread far and wide.

And be bothered by people who treated me like dirt in HS. What's not to love? rofl

It can be usefull for finding people . Iv'e backed off of it quite a bit sence joining Ag . com . Facebook only when I'm bored or missing friends . Too many haters and trolls on facebook .

A clue for you who are hesitant, I had to join FB and a couple of other social sites. Anybody remember Myspace? Lol. It was part on my job as I did background checks on prospective employees. Hey, years ago but I bet places still do.

I use it primarily to stay in touch with friends and family I would no other way, and for certain pages and groups. Also, nothing beats FaceTime, much more convenient and better than Skype. I also occasionally share some stuff, but for the rest I'm not on it that much.

Got it 2010 only loaded it for games but now trying to use it .

Not safe, too public, they know WAY too much about you and sell ALL that info to anyone.
