I unfollow everyone, absolutely everyone on facebook. I do it systematically whenever somebody sends a friend request.

This way I can decide whose posts I see, and not the algorithm. Ha, take that! Facebook even displays an error message in your feed if you unfollow everyone :)

I logged on to FB a few months back because I had to send a message. I just sent that message and logged off. (I would get email when they replied)

Facebook seriously asked me if it was my own account I logged on to. Because, "when people log on to other people's accounts, they tend to log off quickly".

Yeah!
