There are probably no official ones. Don’t know if there's any unofficial ones.

Interesting predictions. I don't think I'll be surprised if I come back to this thread in 10 years ;)

Great advice, just not for everyone though. I personally agree.

Hopefully you can get in touch with some apple employee here and get it resolved. Make sure you have your email in your profile.

I think "needlessly" would work better than "unnecessarily" there.

You haven't told us enough information. What's your social life like? Do you have any close friends or acquaintances? Do you have any family members you talk to? Significant other? etc...

Check out this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12550465. I wrote a response in there about how I "soft left" FB. You can still use messenger and groups but you won't have to deal with the noise anymore. Just takes 2-3 weeks to get used to.

Interesting. If you actually enjoy being on Facebook there is no reason to do this. It's only going to help if you're trying to give it up like you did with Twitter. My suggestion is a less radical alternative to the common "delete your Facebook account" mantra that you mentioned.
Re:I Used to Be a Human Being

An easier strategy for giving up Facebook is to simply unfollow most of your friends for about two or three weeks. After a while, you will probably notice a huge decrease in your cravings. Once you feel comfortable not seeing updates from everyone all the time, you can try deactivating your account for a week or two, and overtime you start feeling like you don't actually need to use Facebook anymore. You certainly don't have to delete your account or unfriend everyone to do this.
Re:Ask HN: What was your “why didn't I start doing this sooner” moment?

Wow, rdegges that's very impressive! Congrats on your transformation.
I'm curious what your routine is like. If you don't mind, could you share how many days a week you train/rest as well as how many hours on a good/average day? Thanks.
