    I am in my 50s and have never had a facebook account. I never will - but honestly I have been tempted to recently because apparently Craigslist is all scammers now and Facebook Marketplace is the go-to for local used buy/sell.

    If I could make a “marketplace only” account I would because I like to buy/sell used. But I can’t so oh well.

      You can make an account without using your real details. Just stick to the browser and don’t use their app.

      Marketplace is very alive and kicking, it’s shocking how much more active it is since COVID.

      I will also say that FB has sucked a lot of attention away from traditional forum spaces - Australia’s Netrider for example. It’s much better to seek answers and ask questions in the motorcycle Facebook page for your model. Sadly. The introduction of anonymous group posting is a good thing though.
