- It's a non-professional LinkedIn. Just want to keep in touch with some people that I get to know IRL. - Some people are not close enough to regularly call, and not far enough to drop from life. Liking posts or commenting emojis keeps the connection. - Groups. There are some really nice groups that are on topics I am interested in, like <local language> literature, science writing in <local language>, group of local scholars. - All local businesspeople are on Facebook. I regularly make queries on their products or shop in general through FB chat. - I do <performing art> as a hobby. I perform. Upload it to FB showing it to a custom list of friends, ang get 30+ likes. Love doing it. - Some people I care about are there. They post there, and I like to see them. Often close-ish people from the past. - Eternal September literally ruined Quora. While specialized, well-moderated groups in FB are going strong. There are several intellectually satisfying groups on FB. - Fine grained control over what I make visible to whom, and what I see. I have 800+ friends (all known IRL), but I have manually unfollowed 500+ of them. - Network effect makes some content great. It's just statistical. If there are much more posts, there are slightly more good posts. Memes on <national culture> are great. - Where I live, social status gives you many opportunities and advantages. FB is crucial in my local comminity for gaining that status.
