Actually I kind of miss the 2009 facebook. Ads were basically nonexistent, you saw primarily posts by your friends, you weren't force fed hostile content. to make you rage im the comments...
Technologically it was probably bad, I don't remember that. but UX-wise it went downhill with every single major update.
You were friends with early adopters?! Haha, none of my friends made it to Facebook until mid 2010 or later 😆
You made me question, whether I did really join that early. I thought it was massively adopted in "09 and I wasn't really an early adopter. I was actually one of the last in my social bubble who joined FB. I didn't want to leave ICQ. but eventually had to because everyone I knew went to FB instead.

Haha LOVE IT. ICQ. That cute little flower. Someone should totally bring that back to life 😂 🌻
Maybe over in NZ we were a bit behind with the times. We were all using Bebo 😅🙈
Surprisingly it still exists and works. But there is no Warsheep or any other games sadly. Necer really figured out what keeps them afloat tho.
Though, everything I said in the previous post applies to 2010 just as well. If I remember correctly. 2012 was the update that introduced the timeline, new profiles and what I would consider a breaking point when it started to go downhill UX-wise.
