I use Facebook a lot. I have family on three continents and we like to share photos. So it works for us.
There is one simple rule to Facebook which will make your initial decision and subsequent experience quite easy;
Anything you write, post or comment, any preference you declare, and any thoughts you share, are printed out and pinned on every noticeboard that has any contact with your life.
If you wouldn't put it on a public noticeboard, then don't put it on Facebook.
e.g.
I'm going on holiday and my house will be empty
My Bank acount is at Barclays and my name is...
I think x is an awful person (he might be approving your Soc. Sec. claim next week).
etc.
As long as you bear that in mind, you'll be totally fine.
There's no real security that matters, beyond the fact that you are merely a single, unidentifiable fish in a pool of 5bn, so that alone makes you pretty safe.
And there's loads of fun stuff. I am a member of groups such as TOG, [hometown] remembered, Doctor Who and others.
I've reconnected with people and had great conversations and the occasional meeting because of it.
Just remember, you're pinning notices to a global noticeboard and you can never take them off again, so never post drunk.
