How disabling the News Feed has changed my life.
It’s been more than half a year since I unfollowed every single friend and page I have on Facebook.
It was a compromise at the time, between two conflicting forces. I didn’t like how much time I was spending on the social media site, but I couldn’t leave it because of work, and I thought this halfway fix between deleting and keeping my Facebook account would help.
So how has it been living in Facebook Zero for months on end?
Liberating.
My world didn’t end in fire and brimstone, dogs and cats didn’t live together, and there was no mass hysteria of any kind.
Instead, I’m surprised how quickly having nothing on my News Feed has killed my interest in Facebook. Without the promise of cute puppy pictures, food porn or loquacious rants, there was really nothing pushing me to open up the site or the app.
