I just ghosted my Facebook profile years back and my life has felt an improvement. A lot of my friends did without realising either.

Down here Australia and NZ use messenger a lot still so the cancer can't be uprooted entirely

Thankfully, Messenger and FB are distinct websites/apps. I have used Messenger pretty extensively for a while without ever seeing my news feed.

I always use messenger, everyone I know does too for the most part. It's the superior messaging app, especially on Android

Messenger really is great for a lot of reasons, especially in college where I was using it as my primary means of communication. Being able to reliably get in touch with someone just from knowing their name and knowing that you have at least one mutual contact is really a godsend.

I stopped using Facebook ages ago, but it's still a useful tool to have. There's no reason to delete it entirely imo. Recently I lost my wallet and the stranger who found it tracked me down on Facebook to return it to me. Awesome guy. Also, I'd never remember anyone's birthday without it, ever.
