To my mind one of the major mistakes Facebook made was that they never made any effort to implement identity segmentation. I don't want a picture of me from college with a solo cup in each hand visible to any prospective employer and therefore would never want my Facebook profile to take the place of the one I have created for myself on LinkedIn.
If I could have multiple views of my identity depending on the context that would be pretty neat and more analogous to the way people present themselves in the real world. Huge missed opportunity on Facebook's part and now it's way too late.
My other hot take is that the interaction design of Facebook is just much too heavy when compared to Instagram or Tinder. If I go on Facebook it's guaranteed 15 minutes of time just to kind-of get into the flow and see a bunch of friends' statuses and maybe click on their profiles. Instagram on the other hand you can just pick up and scroll through pictures for a few minutes and then put down — the interaction feels lighter weight and less burdensome.
