    @ThatMattGardner @Bell I’m with Rogers. Not a huge fan, but accidentally found out if you DM them on FB Messenger, they’re really quick to reply and can resolve most issues. Has made my life way easier, and no longer ever wait on hold. Maybe similar thing for Bell - or switch!

  • curlywurlygirly Vicky K ♿ (@curlywurlygirly) reported from Alton, England

    @DalCecilRuno @AuroraNebulosa You can get it on FB messenger, but not FB itself as far as I'm aware. I really wish they would change that. It's such an easy fix but makes such a difference for so many of us.

    @iamfahem I THINK that those issues with FB, and it's messenger, and Instagram are fixed (at least better) now. We still have WhatsApp where we can talk. Hope you're well. Miss you. 💖🌻

  • anubhavanand ANUBHAV ANAND (@anubhavanand) reported from Mumbai Suburban, State of Mahārāshtra

    @SidrahDP Deleting fb account would be an irreversible action. Remove fb App/ messenger from phone. Remove auto login from comps. First steps to the freedom u r aiming for. (Tried and tested)

  • riomarmccartney Riomar is back from hell (@riomarmccartney) reported from Setagaya-ku, Tokyo Prefecture

    @alxmurashko @ow You can deactivate your account, and that “removes” Facebook as a service from your life, but messenger is kept. But this doesn’t remove your facebook data and if you don’t mind that, deactivation works! (I doubt with deletion even, they keep the data somewhere anyway)
