They also ensure there's ALWAYS at least one notification when you sign in. Even if nothing of importance happened, they find _something_ to notify you about just so you can see the red notification count every time.
I deactivated my account yesterday and look forward to a FB-free life.
- Gaelan 9y agoDid you deactivate on purpose? Unless you still use Messenger or are considering changing your mind, you should delete your account instead. Deactivation just flips a bit; deletion actually removes your data.
- ZenoArrow 9y agoDeactivation still stops people contacting you through Facebook. It works fine for me.
- gk1 9y agoI did it on purpose because I didn't want to be forever locked out of accounts that required a FB signin. Case in point, just hours after deactivating (the first time), I realized I couldn't log into Airbnb without Facebook. So I had to reactivate, change Airbnb settings, then deactivate again.
- pritambaral 9y ago> deletion actually removes your data Keeping in mind that this is Facebook we are talking about, I doubt the data is actually removed.
- dannyw 9y agoGDPR means Facebook can face fines in the billions for not deleting data when you delete your account
- Pxtl 9y agoYes. The fake orange notification is always annoying. Likewise, the new "feature" where infinite scrolling keeps listing the same posts over and over again. I'm not quite "done with facebook" but I'm getting there.
- snapetom 9y agoEvery time I was drunk, I deactivated Facebook. Then, when I sobered up the next day, I would reactivate it like a coward. Almost a year ago now, I deactivated it and haven't turned it back on.

- orbitur 9y agoI mean, enjoy your FB-free life, but I tweaked my settings a bit, and I only ever get a notification if someone likes my posts/comments, which is all I care about. If I open the app after not having posted something in a day or two, it's quiet.
- rthomas6 9y agoTry not going on Facebook at all for a week or two and see what they send you.
- hbosch 9y agoSeems like LinkedIn does this for me. I guess the difference is Linkedin is upfront and proud of it's creepiness.
