On the other hand, sharing something with some people you know and seeing what they share and so forth doesn't in the slightest have to relate to anything that has to do with strangers or seeking validation.

I use Facebook on a mobile safari page, even on my laptop using m. Everything else is a mess. Battery killing, super tracking, over-advertised mess. I'd let it go if it weren't for my family.
There's been some research on facebook use. I read a headline that users are spending more than 12 hours a week on facebook. That's a part time job in itself! https://www.sensis.com.au/about/new...e-than-12-and-a-half-hours-a-week-on-the-site
Spot on. I don't know how many in this thread are software engineers but breaking up the app makes perfect technical sense.
Same here! Three weeks ago as well. And yeah - I feel great. Thinking about the ultimate next step of full deletion after preserving some of the tagged photos, etc.
I did it due to this post, the messenger thing had me on the edge this put me over the top
Oh, that yes. I was under the impression you thought everything was saved on the Facebook side.They don't save the facebook password which is what is importantEverything else personal of mine is set to private already so besides my profile pic and my name there isn't anything else they can grab. Its better to have websites log in through facebook than creating a password for each of them whenever possible.
Actually most of it is. They only get the email ID & if they need more info then they need authorisation from Facebook. Unless they can provide good reasons for their service to use those details they don't get approved.Oh, that yes. I was under the impression you thought everything was saved on the Facebook side.
I seem to be doing ok,
See what Facebook does to your online communication skill set? Neuters it.
Let me guess, you have 1500 friends; yet when you want to go out, you haven't anyone to accept your request.
Am I the only one that finds this confusing? Does this apply to the photos you share with your friends, or to some (to me until now unknown) sync function, like iCloud etc.?
I pretty much despise Facebook for many reasons, but using terms like "rape" and 'slavery" are just offensive hyperbole. There's no need and it just weakens your argument IMHO.
Each new feature they add is a feature to all them to collect more info from you and your smartphone. Each updates you lose privacy. Best not to update or install any Facebook apps on any of your smartphones or tablets. Get a dummy computer and just log on from there if you need to. Make sure nothing else is on that computer though. Just use it to log on and off only.
What does it being free have to do with this?
So the fact that the app is free, means free license to do anything and the user experience be damned?
I think not...
I'd love to quit Facebook and did so some time ago, but came back kinda under pressure. (I can't invite you for this event!)
Facebook has two functions for me:
Facebook helps to keep in touch with friends from around the world.
I unfollowed almost all connections and only check events and companies that prioritise posting on Facebook.
Facebook has become very impersonal, all things personal are now at snapchat.
Instagram is creepier. Its just duckface sunglasses douchebags and food porn.

Or they could, you know, focus on their core competencies instead of spinning things off to die a slow death, like this photo feature. It's a fine line to toe without alienating your users.
25ghosts, a polite FYI: There is not a word in the English language, loosing. It is spelled losing, as in lost, lose, loss.
I don't actively use Facebook, but keep it around just in case. Living in Orlando, this morning was THE moment for Facebook to shine, but their news feed algorithms are absolutely awful in a real-time situation.
Here is a screenshot of my feed earlier, with Facebook prioritizing a day-old article about the clitoris, over a friend who works at Pulse letting everyone know he is alive.

Delete away, Facebook. By the way, I lied. I wasn't born 04 July 1976, my sexual preference is not Tentacle Curious, nor have I ever given birth to a newt.
