Sounds like Facebook, and indeed the internet, is an unneccesary middleman for you.

I thought so too at first but note that there is a distinction between unfollow and unfriend.

See their response to a sibling of yours. They still use fb to keep in touch with people, just not have them on the newsfeed.

Internet is an interconnection medium. People use this tool in very different ways.

I understand this is an hyperbole, but it sounds really too far fetched. Facebook is not the internet.

True, unless your from a country where "free basics" is you're only offering ;-)

Facebook didn't launch with a newsfeed.

You can still use FB for, say, Messenger instead of News Feed.

Edit: OP says they “unfollowed” everyone, as opposed to unfriending, which is what I’m basing this off of.
