Comment on A true horror

I deleted all mine but the funny thing is back then they were all posts on people’s walls. You used to go to their wall and write something then they would come to yours to reply like a really bad chat UI.
If you went back to 2009 my posts would all be “That’s so true lol” or “Thursday at 7?” And make no sense out of that original context.

Yeah Facebook was vastly different back in the day. Instead of having a shadowy algorithm deciding which posts to show you, you just got a chronological view of all your friends’ posts. So during major events, you’d usually see lots of posts that taken out of context make absolutely no sense.
When Facebook moved to them deciding what you wanted to see, it completely changed the whole vibe.

I miss the cat videos.
Now it’s all suggested posts about things I am interested in but with a not-so-subtle culture war slant.

Of course! Wall posting was a thing. Also poke wars…

Why didn’t you poke me back?
