I just tried in vain to login. I rarely use it but gave it a go .
The enemy is people not being able to fact check, or not realising they have to.

Please say this isn't true. It's impossible to tire of the fascinating 'If you are a football person' and 'Album covers, no explanation' posts.

Its like anything though, its how you use it and who you include on it. People routinely slag off Twitter without really understanding it. If you filter out the tedious flotsum then it can be funny, informative and useful. If you follow people who show pictures of their dinner then well, yeah, I can see why you'd think its utter shite. Avoid the dimbots though and the likes of FB and Twitter can be a force for good.
I've recently shown my technophobe 80 year old dad how to Facetime via FB his sister in Peacehaven, and his cousin in Australia. He can also see the grandkids and great grandkids now during this period of lockdown - he's LOVING it. Its easy and straighforward, on an app he was relatively familiar with (but rarely used). Thats one reason why people use it.

I absolutely hate Facebook but still have an account. I have got to the point where I have most friends hidden from my newsfeed so I don't have to see the same crap all the time. But it's still useful due to the group's part of it. Lots of groups I belong to are not anywhere else so would struggle to get assistance or help with these subjects
And it's down for me and Instagram but I see a major outage is reported

It came back after three hours or so. Earlier for some people. After awhile it is possible to manage out the annoying bits of it, like some other people.
For computer users it always has the annoying need to scroll down for old posts. NSC has a much better format.
