I also don't use it, although I have a login because Meryl wanted me to enter contests with her and
that had to use a Facebook login.
I'm totally screwed if I need to update that account because I don't remember my password nor the password for the email tied to the account.

Technically, I'm in the same club with YOU, MarilynFL! I did open a Facebook acct about a million
years ago, but they kept sending me a DELUGE of E-mail messages reminding me of 'so-and-so's' birthday--most of which were for catering clients that I had E-addresses for and didn't care about when their birthdays were(!)--plus there were the constant & continual friend-request E-mail reminders from Facebook so I finally closed down that E-mail account and opened my current one plus I abandoned Facebook--I never could figure out how to close my Facebook account! No way can I remember how to logon to my Facebook account anymore.

I am...mostly just to see what's going on with other family members.
thanks to Facebook....
... I can be in touch and get to know people from my family in Brazil I never even met face to face
I take the site for its good things - and move away from things that annoy me
plus, I must say some of my friends post a lot of interesting stuff that I would miss if not around Facebook - from political articles to interesting stuff on nature, sociology, good books. To me, the benefits and positives outweigh the negative stuff by a very long shot.
Students who left the lab over 10 years ago, somehow it is easier to connect through facebook than email - because through their posting and commentaries you get a broader idea of what they are going through.

Totally agree
I'm in touch with classmates from 40 years ago I had long ago lost contact with.
It's like anything else. Take what you want and leave the rest. I've learned to skip the things I don't want to see and if someone is really annoying (like the Nazi family member you didn't know your family had hidden in the closet), you delete and/or block them.
The positives definitely outweigh the negatives.

A lot of people don't know how to use Facebook well. I hide people who annoy me. My FB
page is such a joy once I learned I could do that.
It helps me stay in touch with friends who are around the world. We have conversations both on FB and the messenger app and our relationship is so much stronger now than when we lived in the same city (before FB.) It's amazing.
I also have ongoing relationships with chefs, authors, etc. If it were up to email, we'd rarely chat but now, we touch base quite frequently. Some I've met only once but we talk nearly every week!

another point....
is that sometimes it's easier to contact cookbook authors through their FB page
if I want to blog on a recipe, I search for their FB page = very efficient way to reach them. Unless they are super ultra popular and get too many messages to actually interact.

I know this is sacrelige, but the FB cooking groups I belong to work so well with the built-in organization of FB for files, fotos, etc. I can upload a photo in a couple seconds compared to the 15-20 minutes of contortions it takes to display a photo here.
And groups can be private if you want, although I welcome the diversity in the open public groups. The German cooking sites actually have real Germans in them and I learn a lot from them.

Ditto. Only have an acct b/c the company I worked 4 wanted us to help this new company get started.
So they asked us all to create accounts there. I intentionally don't use it.
