People should've dropped FB back in 2016 or when the Cambridge Analytica happened.

People should have deleted it as soon as their parents figured out how to make an account.

Haha! That’s what I did. When my aunt tried to friend request me on Facebook, I bailed.

I joined back in college when it was an invite only walled-garden of college kids. Zucks pic was still in the banner when I joined iirc. They hadn’t release “the wall” or much of what Facebook eventually became.

But when parents and coworkers started trying to friend request me I realized it was time to bail.

So 12 years ago? Maybe just 10.

I have never missed it at all.
