Damn, nothing good ever lasts huh?

Even if it was only a few hours things have significantly improved in my life in the period it went down. Zero anti-vax spam from FB sent to me via texts from older relatives.

During the time Facebook (and related properties) have been unavailable, I can't help but feel a little better about the world. There is so much hate, arguments, misinformation, angry, and harmful messaging on FB platforms. It's nice to know all of that crap is just....gone. At least for a little while.

Unfortunately Twitter was still alive and QAnon conspiracy accounts were making fun of Facebook. Maybe next time.
