goddam. Out of the multitude of reasons to get off Facebook, the one that actually did it for me was that I couldn't handle the messaging app but there's no way to disable it. No end to work group chats, messages from creepy colleagues and estranged relatives, your mates who basically liveblog into your message inbox every time they've got a drama going on and so on. Took me a long time to spot it but once I did it was like pandoras box had been opened and I couldn't handle it any more
