I check Facebook about quarterly for messages from people who don't know I don't use that platform. That's literally the only reason I keep my account active. I also have all notifications turned off and don't have the phone app, so if someone contacts me on there that I'm not expecting, they'll be waiting a while to hear back.
Seems like we're outliers here ๐ I keep it for those acquaintances who aren't important enough to merit texting directly, but still might want to message me on messenger every now and again. Check in with it once every couple of months and see if anyone messaged me, scroll through the feed, get annoyed at all the "memes" and then exit.
There's a new extremely annoying trend where a post at a "local" company says "hey we need to offload this expensive item, type @highlight in the chat to enter" which ends up pinging your entire friends list. Very annoying, super scummy.
