    My family communicated exclusively through a Facebook Messenger group chat and my sister keeps posting pictures of her daughter so all the important stuff goes way up in the history. I don’t even have Facebook Messenger on my phone. I rarely if ever check the messages because I’ve removed Facebook from my life.

      I know people that still send me messages on Facebook even though I’ve told them that I don’t have the messenger, will never have the messenger, don’t have the Facebook app, will never have the app, and can’t check the website messages from my mobile browser. I visit Facebook on a desktop like once every 3 months. So, I have no clue why they still send me messages there. Have fun waiting for a response, my guy.

        I just hate how they guilt trip me afterwards for not being at a family event because I missed a message that was sent two weeks ago sandwiched between 40 pictures of my niece.

        I deleted Facebook and gave everyone I knew who had ever messaged me my signal id and told them that was it, the only way to get in touch

      I got my family off messenger for family chat, onto signal.

      My partner never had Facebook, so I got lots of messages “tell Sam blah blah”

      I told them via group sms, “hey guys, I deleted Facebook, so if you want us it’s phone, SMS, or signal”

      So now when they want to tell Sam something, they can @ Sam

        Yeah forget it. My family won’t budge unfortunately. Apparently, I’m the one who’s problematic.
