How about a happy compromise: Ditch everything except mbasic.facebook.com (I have a hosts entry that does that) and messenger lite.

Both are perfectly usable and I can still have a social life, but it's not as effortless as just scrolling down so you tend to do it less and stop when you stop caring (well I do anyway). Definitely dialed back the background anxiety levels when I did that.

I have deleted facebook app from my phone long ago because of the very shady things it was allegedly trying to do (and to save my battery). Only use FB mobile site on the phone. I'll give mbasic a try, thanks for mentioning it :)

What is this magic?? I feel like I'm sane again reading Facebook like that. Just replaced my bookmark. If it could display in reverse chronological order, then Facebook would be totally fixed.

At the beginning is just a splinter, but if an infection starts, and the flesh around it slowly begins to die you might have no choice but to amputate.

To some people is just a splinter, to others, well, you get the idea.

been there... definitely a lot more like washing your hands after they have been in contact with feces.

a hand is close to a necessity. facebook isn't. so analogy doesnt apply.
