I once used Facebook to track down the previous occupants of the flat I live in.
A parcel arrived from New Zealand, and using Facebook I found the sender of the parcel, searched the friends list, and found the people who used to live here and messaged them.
They decided to call the cops and said I'd stolen their parcel.
Since then, anything that arrives here in their name, I open it and then throw it straight in the bin.

It's great for keeping track of all my relatives in Italy and Australia, that's for sure.
It's still really really useful for both organizing things and keeping in general touch with a lot of people you can't easily see in real life.
I can't imagine using it for more than that, though, like significant social interaction, or getting news, or arguing about the news. It's like Twitter in that it has a few things it's really good for, but you need to disallow yourself from letting it do more than that or it becomes really counterproductive and bad.

I'd probably be done with it if it weren't so useful for organizing things. That's pretty much all I use it for now.
I’m so glad I got off Facebook when I did. I haven’t had an account since 2012.

I figured I'd double down on Apple's ecosystem. And I am going for the triple down and trying to swing a Mac for my next upgrade at work.
