    Son, how did forget that whole thing! Wow. I mean a whole vibe. I found her number about two years ago in my Facebook messenger contacts page. There’s some glitch they never fixed but apparently I added my contacts to the book at some point.

    @AirFranceUS why can't I check in online for my flights from Athens to CDG to JFK? I tried help in FB messenger & didn't work. Nothing happens when I confirm our personal details. Click continue & takes back to personal details page. Very annoying.

    @acceptablepanda My favorite fix is to just move the strike plate, but it does involve power tools so might want to ask a friend or neighbor to help if you aren't comfortable. Text or fb messenger me if you wanna talk about it, I don't check Twitter super consistently

    @BioOwoahene @farzyness Guess what just happened, I had to contact Marriott CSR. I tried Twitter DM without success (no response), so I posted the same question on the Facebook messenger. Instant gratification, an agent came and resolved my issue. I was satisfied. Facebook is live and well my friend.

    @JimHenleyMusic @benedictevans Facebook marketplace is the defacto used good site. Facebook groups are as big as reddit. Facebook stories rival snapchat. People who dont have FB use FB messenger. Twitter is, still talking about an edit button. I don't know what the fix is but there are many of them.

  • AppalachianNP AppalachianPMHNP (@AppalachianNP) reported

    @parkelis @PalmerReport I've talked to them. One kept sending me videos of preachers on FB messenger until I asked if he was hacked or had clicked questionable links. I told him I was worried that he might be a victim of a scam & needed help getting control of his account again. He stopped talking to me

    Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp kinda mainstreamed the Encrypted Messaging Service in the mainstream fairly recently - up until a few years ago, if you wanted end-to-end encrypted comms, you were siloed to Telegram, XMPP, or other various open-source projects/
