I made one post on face book and simply didn't bother. Everybody wanted to be on it because everybody wanted to be on it.

being (a) a nerd and (b) charged with IT strategy for a large portion of the 21st century, I have had cause to look into such things as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Bitcoin, Telematics, Autonomous cars, IoT, and a whose host of futuramas that IBM Hursley have plugged over the years.
It always amuses me that the demo Facebook and LinkedIn accounts I set up over 10 years ago are not only still active, but appear to have a life of their own. Or so the emails I get to my personal spamtrap tell me.
It's not all bad. My £10 bitcoin purchase from the early days is worth around £800 and that's after I have spent £400 of it over the years.
Anyway having a Facebook profile prevents anyone else from being me, and also means I get to see how various friends, friends of friends, and their families are doing around the world.
They key point to remember is you don't ever need to post on Facebook to have an account.

Facebook is a place where people with nothing worth saying go to prove it.

True, but also it has some benefits with local facebook groups in that it can spread local information, help when someone requires a recommended tradesman etc.

No they aren't. The other operations that preceeded them are still advertising there.

I had a look when our Olive grower took a bunch of d-i-yers there. Decided they wanted too much personal information and dropped out. Demon is long dead and we have moved house so I think I am safe:-)

Optional information. Most clued up people leave all their personal details blank.

Mindless bullshit, most obviously the the buy swap sell groups which leave the alternatives for dead.
Also true of the information groups which list upcoming swap meets, yard/car boot sales etc

How do you get on F*c*book without registering?

You have to register, but that doesn't mean you need to supply your inside leg measurement just because they ask you to.

You mean that someone could tell untruths? Surely everyone on F*c*book is totally honest? Otherwise there would be no point in reading it.

I think it might be Facebook I told I was born on 1/1/1900. Or it might have been 6/6/1945. I don't feel that they have any need to know my real birthdate.

There isn't any point in reading it. The UI is rubbish anyway.
