That is 10 years overdue and the main reason I closed my account years ago. It was like looking at a sponsored gawker newsfeed.

Today people do not even mention it anymore. Wether i meet new people or when i connect with old friends. Facebook disappeared from my life as quickly as it came in.

Do HN people still use Facebook?

I still do, but strip away as much of the interface as possible using uBlock Origin style rules, FB Purity, and Newsfeed Eradicator[1].

I use lists extensively to organize friends into groups (work, school, various hobbies). The number of unread posts in a list appears next to it, so I can see the amount of activity in each at a glance instead of endlessly scrolling.

If I really care to see what someone is up to, I just go to their profile.

Maybe it's due to my age bracket (early 20's), but having a an account is a major social benefit and I don't have everyone's email address.
