Facebook was a wonderful place to stay up to date with what friends and family were busy with, and early Twitter was my favourite social network of all time (that honour now goes to Mastodon).
I guess you could say that FB and Twitter got us hooked, the first one's free, sort of thing, and then by the time we realised there were better options, we found that we were locked in because all our friends were there and there was no way we were going to convince them to follow us (same reason I still use WhatsApp as my primary messaging app, instead of Signal).
This is why the Fediverse is so great: as long as you can convince your friends to join a Fediverse/ActivityPub-compliant network, you can still keep in touch. :)
