We all remember Myspace except Darthskywalker0 who was in his Cot in 2008 and Kurk, DMB, Squall X and Ellimist who were too young to have accounts. People left myspace for destination facebook in 2009. In 2014 I made a personal choice to shut my Facebook account, I had about 1000 "friends", I realised I only talked to about 10 people regularly whom I didn't talk to in real life and maybe 20 others occasionally, I had strange people from Highschool, Rugby Clubs, University and past jobs who I hadn't seen for decades liking posts and pictures, it all seemed weird. Wattsapp came out and I realised I could have groups with the people I cared about and needed to have groups for other purposes. Now we have the data mining scare, I ask who is still on Facebook and if so why? What does Facebook do for you? The only KMCer I ever had on Facebook was Marius, who is a genuinely good guy.
It's cool to see how my friend from 3rd grade is doing or my first kiss or so-and-so.
Also great for keeping in contact with family.

myspace is still a thing BTW but idk if my old account is still there.
i use fb mainly to look at memes and to keep up with my hometown hoopla. everytime something happens in my old church, neighborhood, local govt, etc it gets to me from FB moreso than anything else... so... gossip?
i don't post much anymore. too much to lose at work in case somebody wants to develop a vendetta.
