I know very well why I am still using FB: there is a single group that I am working with that uses it as its main channel of communication. And I don't want to invest the effort to make them switch right now.

What I did was an alternate plan that can work for many:

- Don't install the Facebook app, but the FB Messenger lite app. No access to the walls.

- Mute channels you don't want to be pinged about (most of them except two in my case)

- Logging out of FB on the desktop is a good idea but I really type faster on a keyboard so often when pinged I'll just open up FF (with all the fencing in place) for a quick answer.

Out of curiosity, have you tried messenger.com to answer the pings?
