I recently decided to take a break away from facebook altogether; no status updates, no responses, no opening the app... That alone can be a tricky prospect if you have family who communicate almost exclusive through Facebook.
Maybe others have similar experience; it seems the longer I stayed away from the platform, the more messages I would start getting trying to draw me back.
"You have 21 messages"
"Check out X updates on their status"
"Check out X comments on their own status"
"You have 150 messages in this group that you haven't participated in for over 5 years"
Why is Facebook so desperate to keep me around?
This behavior reminds me of my dating life; having a person who wants you so much that their need for your attention just pushes you away even faster.
Did you notice the same pressure to come back from the software?
