Why not adblock the news feed and delete the app?

Then you are able to stay in contact with those far away, and make new friends at random events you may not have heard about otherwise?

I dislike their monopoly on the friend graph just as much as anyone else, but at least in the Sydney university demographic FB Events are ubiquitous.

I'll admit you have a good point with keeping abreast of events in certain circles. That's essentially what I did though. In my original post I noted that I have an anonymous profile on one social network that doesn't do anything except for chat with a few people, it doesn't even have any 'connections'. Hi from another Sydney-sider by the way!

That's true, I guess it works out to be the same.

Isn't Sydney wonderful!
