> Not at all. There are so many fake accounts on Facebook that it's now impossible to tell who is real and who isn't. True, they removed anonymity, but they replaced it with fraud.
While true, it's also true that for most people, most of their facebook friends are real people using their real name. That's decidedly different from how people use Twitter, Reddit and the like.

- speedplane 8y agoIf just 5% of your “friends” are fake, it ruins any trust you may have in your community, it doesn’t need to be anywhere close to a majority. The other networks have similar problems, but Facebook is the worst offender at promoting a false sense of trust.
