Earlier quoted context omitted.

Same, had one but deleted it along with reddit, yahoo, twitter, linkedin, stackoverflow and others.

But interestingly you still use your HN account

The HN account is new(er). It seemed like a safer account to create and it wouldn't require any attention.

Here is my typical usage of facebook. - I mostly lurk and comment. Login may be once or twice a day. - I have the app on the phone. But I only ever login if I want an address or a phone number of a friend. - I stopped sharing on facebook, I mostly use google+ for that now. Most people who share my interests are already there. - I use the facebook login creds for websites that support them instead of creating a new account. I also mark the posts from the said websites to be visible only to me so I don't spam my friends.

Yes, a personal account for me.

I probably over share information.

I've recently moved some things away from FB onto other platforms - whatsapp, 23 snaps, instagram, etc etc.

I dislike FB - I don't like the horrible privacy stuff, and I don't like the changing inscrutable interface. (It makes me feel old. I feel like an old person calling for a 12 year old to program the VCR.)

I primarily use it as a way to chat with people I know. Since most people I know use it, it is the most convenient platform to do so on.

Same, if FB had a standalone chat app, I'd just use that and really never go on the site.

It does, but only on iOS. "Facebook Messenger"
