Really? It'd have a HUGE impact on my life.

Nearly every aspect of my social life is planned on Facebook. It's the one place where nearly everyone I know are. Facebook, for me, is really just the best event planning tool in existence.

I'd also instantly lose contact with a bunch of acquaintances and friends. I've moved around quite a bit in my life and Facebook connects me with those people. When I travel it's the platform I use to reach out to the people I want to catch-up with. It'd be a real bummer to lose that.

It's true that the news feed aspect of Facebook is something I wouldn't miss. It's something I never use anymore, politics has taken care of that. But all of the features around it ARE things I deeply care about.

I use a browser extension to display:none; the news feed section. I still get notifications (if I want to click the badge) and can browse/search, but don't get random content shoved in my face. It works well for me.
