I'd love to delete/suspend my Facebook but unfortunately it is the only conctact I have for many ex work colleagues and some friends.
are they really your friends though if they dont want to engage with you over any other way?
Honestly, many friends who live in other towns I stay in touch with using messanger so theoretically I could disable Facebook and keep messenger but Facebook is more for former work colleagues that I occasionally say hi to. It would have been a lot easier if i could just have WhatsApp with timeline and marketplace.
i only ever used FB for game related tokens, like for RS which offer tokens, or keys for doing "fake scam offers". othr than that i never use it. only recently UBLOCK to get around thier login popups, so i can download new RA2 maps.
Same, it is mainly a messaging platform for me for people who I otherwise can't reach.
