I know you've said you don't want them on twenty times now, but I think the twenty-first time is the charm.

One of the reasons I stopped Facebook was the “needy girlfriend” notifications. Normal notifications were fine, but then if I didn’t open the app for more than two days it would just make up that I had one. Not make up a notification, but would notify me that I had notifications. It would then turn out I did not.

“A page you follow posted an event you might be interested in.” Yuck.

I actually used to be a part of the beta testing group for the Android client. At some point they made it impossible to sort your feed by “most recent”. Everybody complained about it. That was the point where it became pretty clear that Facebook doesn’t really give a shit what its users want. They’re certainly not the only scummy social media company, but they are pretty high up there.
