What happened before FB were forums and forums had the same problems that FB had but forums had humans that ran them and usually volunteer moderators that enforced rules over the content. Nothing on forums passed scrutiny. Forums had flamewars and other issues but in the end they ended up causing a lot fewer problems than FB. We need to go back to forums and ditch FB. The social network version of forums is massive, unwieldy and unenforceable. I mean even Reddit is better in terms of enforcing rules than FB is.
