The only value I found in Facebook around 2005 was something to keep track of people's birthday's so that I could wish them happy birthday, but the privacy implications seemed pretty obvious and pretty dire. In late 2010, I wanted to reconnect with people, and I decided to compromise on privacy. Sometime in 2016 or 2017, I saw the post on HN about how to delete my account and all the information. Given how Facebook made me feel as a user of their service and all the different accounts of how they use personal information that I read by that time, I was glad to have gotten rid off it then, but I wish I just stay off of it in the first place.
