And groups, really. Almost all local level group activity exclusively gets managed on Facebook in the cities I lived in.

If I want to have even a vague idea about what’s going on in my town it’s pretty much Facebook or a neighbor who is more plugged in than I am. Also it’s the only web presence a lot of small local businesses have.

I do keep up with some friends on Facebook but I’m very selective about adding anyone new.

Not just local groups - groups of any kind.

I'm part of a bunch of book collector groups because it's pretty much the only place on the internet to connect with other people around the world about it.

Facebook groups are the ultimate data source for LLMs. They have so much information. They are forums for specific subjects but without the friction of signing up.
