Facebook stock drops more than 20% after revenue forecast misses
Deletion is too extreme for most people. More reasonable: escalating partial dis-engagement. Here&#x27;s what my friends and I did, sequentially, over the years:<p>1. Turn off notifications for the Facebook app on your phone;<p>2. Turn off notifications for the Facebook Messenger, Instagram, et cetera apps on your phone;<p>3. Delete the Facebook app from your phone;<p>4. Delete the Facebook Messenger, Instagram, et cetera apps from your phone; and finally<p>5. Log out of Facebook on your desktop.<p>It took me 2 years to go through from step 1 to step 5. It has made me happier and more productive. I still have a Facebook account. But the friction of grabbing my laptop and logging in forces me to consider &quot;is this what I want to do? Or am I thoughtlessly reaching for the crack pipe?&quot;
