Let's start with Facebook "in the beginning" being some sort of respectable space in the Interwebs for those normies who didn't like the egalitarian and intelligent, or at least free and brave, and also deep and diverse (not in the sense of demonstrative insincere tolerance to LGBTQZPNA, where Z stands for zoo-, P stands for pedo-, N stands for non-carbon and A stands for antimatter, and other culture war markers, but in the sense of a thousand different cultures forming not only the content of webpages, but also how they would be interconnected, how they would look and how they would work), culture of the Web back then. It was almost a LinkedIn alternative. Teens who'd want to be there were the more social and sociopathic types, who knew that the Web and that techy stuff is new and cool, but despised the people who'd actually exchange useful information there, and that actual information, that whole part of the world. Facebook back then just didn't seem usable as compared to Skype and ICQ and all the web forums. Unfortunately worthy people are gullible and lack willpower, so that sociopathic crowd has rebuilt the Web for itself. They don't even use it as much as we do FFS. Remember when on a forum you'd usually see which specific moderator removed or edited your post? (And what was there before the edit, quite often) And it was good tone for moderators to only edit out forbidden parts, not just delete everything. And it was good tone to give out warnings first.
