  I just flat out quit messenger when they made it app-only. I’m not installing that shit in my phone or my computer. Facebook on my phone is just the web app.

  Best part is no little red digits telling me I’m missing out on something (spam and shit I don’t care about 95% of the time). I check it when I think to. That’s once every few months which is about how often I’m interested in updates from people who aren’t in my life any more.

  I’d like to replace all of my apps with bookmarks eventually. No one needs that kind of data on me.

    but they didn’t.

    or you mean on the phone? switch on desktop site mode in firefox and done. but it’s harder to use on phone sized screens

      I did that for like a year, but eventually I lost my ability to use it even through a browser. Not sure why your experience was different. Maybe Android vs. iOS? Anyway, I’ve been off it so long now it doesn’t matter. No one uses it to reach me.

  You can still use the website. This is just talking about the native apps.
