As someone who doesn't use snapchat nor instagram, the stories feature on Facebook mobile and Messenger is really confusing. It seems to have come from nowhere and is just in my way. I'm afraid to click on it.

#33I look forward to seeing this being integrated into every Electron app.

#34What is this? Does it have a serious purpose and i just can't identify it, or is it satire i don't grok?
The idea is that facebook has added stories to facebook, instagram, whatsapp and facebook messenger in a frenetic binge presumable attempt to crush snapchat.

And somehow, none of them are connected (not even Facebook and Messenger), so you have four different story apps from the one company.
The FB and Messenger ones are different too!? At least the other three are separate accounts, so that's justifiable, but FB and Messenger are the same account, they're even the same website on desktop.

>they're even the same website on desktop
This isn't entirely correct - there is messenger.com if you want to use messenger without the distraction of your news feed.

#39HAH! Seriously though, it is weird having three identical-looking Stories features that don't show the same data, despite being linked to my FB account (can't speak for WhatsApp as I don't use it).
Instagrams keeps getting new (and weirdly cutesy) new features like stickers and stuff
