    @strandedinNI Fair point. I try to avoid FB Messenger because across many versions over many years I've found its mobile apps to be terrible memory hogs.

    FB messenger and IG being down is such a trip...! I never use my actual phone to communicate and I've made two actual phone calls and a bunch of texts today

  • GWizThe Mike R. (@GWizThe) reported

    Facebook people can't fix the problem bc they have no in person social skills. Without WhatsApp and Facebook messenger to communicate they are definitely screwed.
