I think the point of this extension is for people who need to access facebook features like groups and events, but don't want to get distracted by the dopamine-inducing newsfeed on the way

#33Lately I've been saying I wish my Facebook friends followed Hacker News guidelines, Facebook would improve 1000% for me.
This cuts out the middle man.

Why do you go to facebook then?
I've been off facebook for a month now and I really really miss pages of some artists and groups for abstract art. I was seriously getting into asemic writing at the same time I was trying to kick the habit of typing out whatever bullshit ideas about politics were in my mind. Aaaand I chose the latter. :-(

One word: Addiction Facebook events are invaluable to my life these days, but the news feed is an addiction that I've been fighting since university. If only I could be %100 dedicated to all resolutions without any effort then I wouldn't need any tricks like this. Plus this is just meant to be silly. I should really just blank out the news feed like someone else suggested.
But you realize, that reading hacker news is, an addiction on its own? ;)

#37I'm confused as to why someone would want this instead of just going to HN directly? If you don't like Facebook, don't use it. :-/

#39I expected something more creative, replacing posts with my friends, like my grandmother sharing why React is awesome and my primary school friends discussing how did they go microservices.
