I use it for events.
It aggregates most of the small and large music and other events in the city into a single place, and shows me when a friend is "interested" or "going" to the event.
I have forgotten how we did this before Facebook. But there are many events only advertised on Facebook! For others, I'd need to check 20+ websites every week to keep up. RSS is no longer implemented on these sites, neither are aggregators like last.fm keeping up to date. (That's probably what I used before Facebook.)
My feed is about 30% content I've asked to see or would want to see, the rest junk (AI crap, far right rage, far left rage).
Two months ago I started a subscription to see if that would reduce the amount of junk, hopefully to zero, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. It has probably hidden ads, but I had an adblocker anyway.
For a long time I've objected under GDPR to the tracking, which I think is why I get the mixture of political junk.
