  • MarkGoodge Mark Goodge 🎶 (@MarkGoodge) reported

    I wouldn't hugely miss Facebook if it stays down for a significant period of time. But I would miss WhatsApp, as it's my primary form of one-to-one and small group communication. And my backup, for people who don't have it installed, is Facebook Messenger. Oops.
