OMG I hate FB with the heat of 10,000 suns. I use Messenger with my family, otherwise deleted the app and stay away except to lurk every now and then. Last night I sent a message to my family that we had landed safely in Vietnam, and shortly thereafter was bounced out. Password no longer worked. Process to reset password resulted in screen that said that I must sign in from another device, but same process, same message in the end. I'm stuck in an endless loop that never lets me sign in. 1/2

So I guess I'm finally done with FB and Messenger for good. I refuse to waste any more time and energy trying to log into what has basically become an open sewer, and I don't want to be subjected to any more ads and data harvesting. I told my family to text from here on in. I'm done. 2/2 #DeleteFacebook #FacebookSucks
