What does HackerNews think of news-feed-eradicator?

News Feed Eradicator is open source: https://github.com/jordwest/news-feed-eradicator/

(and indeed great)

I use this to remove the feed: https://github.com/jordwest/news-feed-eradicator/

Periodically I go and read through the feeds of family and friends when they happen to be on my mind.

This made Facebook usable for me: https://github.com/jordwest/news-feed-eradicator

I can still use it as chat, address book, check events or particular updates/mentions, but I am not fed and infinite stream of mind sugar whenever I log in...

I still would love to completely quit... I tried a couple of times but I ended going back to contact particular people or to check out events. Facebook is turning into a basic social survival tool for foreigners living in metropolises and it kinda annoys me a lot.

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.
