• TIL. I haven’t been on Facebook in so many years that I didn’t know this. Still, given how many good alternatives are out there, it doesn’t seem like a good reason to keep using Facebook.

          It’s a way to connect with people who only have Facebook accounts and don’t want to deal with moving or figuring out another account. Someone will pipe up and say “yeah well my 102 year old grandma figured out signal!” yeah, well good for her, she’s largely the exception. People want something simple, that works, that will be around in 10 years.
