I'm confused as to why someone would want this instead of just going to HN directly? If you don't like Facebook, don't use it. :-/

I thought the same, but I could use this to check messenger & groups while skipping the feed.

  https://www.facebook.com/messages/ https://www.facebook.com/messages/ allows you to just view messenger directly.

  http://www.messenger.com http://www.messenger.com is the web version of their mobile messenger clients. I often spend extended periods without seeing my newsfeed/notifications but still use the messenger everyday.

One word: Addiction Facebook events are invaluable to my life these days, but the news feed is an addiction that I've been fighting since university. If only I could be %100 dedicated to all resolutions without any effort then I wouldn't need any tricks like this. Plus this is just meant to be silly. I should really just blank out the news feed like someone else suggested.

  But you realize, that reading hacker news is, an addiction on its own? ;)

    But clearly it's not addictive enough, someone needs to fully facebookize HN.

    The difference is like coffee and heroin, also both HN and coffee are good for you. Edit: doing the trick like this, injecting HN into FB feels like injecting coffee into your veins - I don't think it will give you the effect you're after.

  You can also simply block out Facebook news feed. I wrote about it here : https://medium.com/@NikitaVoloboev/the-best-kind-of-web-3c9131a1fd99 https://medium.com/@NikitaVoloboev/the-best-kind-of-web-3c91...

Yeah this was my first thought too. I way prefer just coming here than trying to navigate the shared HN stories on my Facebook timeline. There is something unsettling to me about seeing HN stories shared on Facebook anyway but maybe I'm weird.
