We removed "Sign in with Facebook" from our public learning management system (we provide content to the public) instead of continuing to jump through their insane requests and demands.

And now no one wants to use Facebook, good job "managing us out" Donald. :)

We don't use FB anymore.

Finally, someone found a way to get everybody off "Facebook".

I gave up and firewalled "facebook.com" years ago.

The ideal solution here is to stop using Facebook.

You are free to not use Facebook.

They gave that up at least five years ago. I believe they switched to a system of hiring everyone on earth to stop them from going to Facebook.

Bye-Bye Facebook.

There is an easy way to opt-out. Stop using Facebook.

Right on! Total agreement here. Since I was pretty addicted (as of about a year ago), not only did I delete the app from my phone, I changed my passsword to one generated by LastPass (e.g. totally freaking hard to memorize). This re-enforces the fact that the only EASY way to get on FB is via my laptop:)

Facebook is incredibly invasive. I don't want an account.

You are still forcing others to use it through network effects. Either let it go completely, or don't pretend you're fighting it. We need more people to draw a line in the sand and ditch this oppressive system completely. Facebook wants you to be afraid of living without it.

In all seriousness, this is what made me finally quit Facebook a decade ago.

They made it annoying enough to use the product I wanted that the barrier to quiting was drastically decreased.

bye bye facebook

I stopped using Facebook when they made it too hard to control what-you-want-to-see-and-interact-with, myself.

bjoli | karma 3519 | avg karma 1.96 · | 2022-06-20 08:30:43

i stopped using Facebook, google and Twitter in 2012. I am even more sick of it now. Back then I didn't like what it did to me, and I really disliked the fact that we were giving a private company such an important part of human communication and society.

It hasn't gotten better. I have now stopped visiting some of my favourite restaurants because I can't read their opening hours or menu because I don't have a Facebook account. I don't know when Facebook started doing that, but one day they closed their business pages and excluded me from a lot of information that used to be public.

How about you just don't use facebook?

mnd999 | karma 3101 | avg karma 2.74 · | 2021-10-09 05:34:04

Honestly, just delete your Facebook. It’s a better solution and it has the benefit of being officially supported.

ticviking | karma 1415 | avg karma 2.23 · | 2021-04-21 23:05:20+00:00

We don't have to support it. We are unwilling to pay the cost of the friction facebook removes from our ability to connect to their community.
