Subject: When did you join Facebook?

Written By: TwilightPrince16 on 01/26/18 at 6:38 pm

The question above.

I joined in March 2012, and I was underage.  :-X

I joined Facebook in December 2010. I was 11 years old so I was underage but I lied about my age when signing up 8).

The reason why I joined Facebook because a lot of my friends either already had an FB account or were joining so I didn't want to be left out. Also, Facebook was all the rage back in 2010. I can't believe that I have been on FB for over 7 years :o.

I was just looking through my Facebook right now. I used to use Facebook so much back in 2009-2011. There's a lot of high school friends that I used to be close to that I almost forgot about. I should really get in touch with them.

In 2012, my usage dropped significantly. In 2013 I didn't post at all. In 2014 my head popped back up again, I made a few updates and uploaded a few pics and did the Ice Bucket Challenge.

2015-2017 is cobwebs again though. I got Instagram in 2015, I started using that instead almost exclusively. But in 2018 I started using Facebook a lot again. I joined a few groups, updated a few pics, but I still mostly use Instagram.

June 22nd, 2009. Less than a month before I turned 29.

Part of me wishes I'd joined it earlier, in retrospect...but for some reason I had no interest in doing so until '09.

I have a last best friend I made before I graduated in 2010 I wish I kept in touch with. Dude was amazing. Good thing I don't think about it much because I'd probably cry. Just gonna let the women claim my focus now.

What the f is dude up to now.

I never heard of Facebook until 2011 or 12 I think. Got one in 2016 but deleted it soon after since all my old friends didn't want to be friends. Now I only have one for my furry social life.

I've never used Facebook besides for signing up for things and Messenger, I got Instagram instead when I was 11/12 in either late 2010 or early 2011. I know it was when Instagram was pretty new.

I haven't used it in a long time though, I use normal social media pretty rarely besides Reddit, which I've been on since 2012.

I actually had the same experience a few months ago, I made a new Facebook account (because I deleted my old one back in 2016) and I tried being friends with classmates from my old school, but it didn't exactly work out, so I deleted my Facebook for that and a multitude of other reasons.

Around this time five years ago, only so that I can easily communicate with relations and friends around the world.

At my last job, being a member on FB was frowned on.

Did you guys try sending them a message? Maybe you look different from back then and they didn't know who you were.

Yeah, many workplaces do not allow you to go and do personal stuff online, for safety reasons.

My mom first joined there ten years ago; then she invited me to join a year later. My dad, on the other hand, has had no interest in joining.

My mom joined about two years after I did. My dad isn't on it either. I used to not like my parents/relatives being on there, but now (now as in very recently) I don't really mind.

Some of my extended relatives are on there, namely a male first-cousin of my mom's, and his two grown-up kids (my second-cousins).

Also a paternal uncle who joined about two or three years ago.

I notice that most my neighbours joined Facebook 2006-2008.

I also had my 9 year "Faceversary" as they called it, a couple of weeks ago. I got this cute video. I thought I joined January 2009, but actually the exact date I joined is 6 February 2009.

It was last.fm that I joined in January 2009. I got Twitter in December 2008. Before Twitter, I thought social media was for the plebs, but after I joined Twitter, I realized it's not all bad and I joined many! :D

I joined a lot of social media websites in early 2009, even Tumblr, which was relatively unknown back then.
