I really miss early facebook culture. Where people would post pictures of them having fun at parties. Every professional person I know is too worried about their appearance that they only post fun stuff on their instagram story. It's not the same, and I feel like we would all be having better social lives if facebook was still a real social network.

Do you think this is a problem with the users or with the platform?

I don't know. Everyone treats their profile like a social linkedin page. Facebook should be able to leverage the fact that it has your social network to create more fun experiences.
