IG doesn’t have any of the people directory. It’s heavily focused on bigger brands, profiles, influencers, and seeing random stuff from these entities I have no personal relation with.
Facebook of old was like what the OP was saying. IG is only marginally like that with friends pic posts.
This is regardless of whatever tiktok stuff since I don’t use IG much for the same reasons as OP.
Facebook was popular in the era when it wasn't used as a people directory however. It was used as instagram is currently until older people came in and the website became very commercialized.
I don’t literally mean a people director but closer to that than what IG is. Are you referring gtfo Facebook pre 2008? That’s a small time period to look at since that’s when it exploded in popularity and would otherwise be a relatively quaint site and company if it stayed the way it was in 2006, 2007. It still remained close enough to the same for me until maybe 2012 at earliest.
I agree - the best memories of FB I have is when people I know used it to post updates about their lives, often via sharing photos. AKA what Instagram used to be like before Stories took over.
