Even at mbasic.facebook.com? This is how I do all my messaging these days.


I hate Facebook so much for this. Their apps are beyond bloated and track far more than I'm interested in sharing. It used to be no issue at all to send messages.

But suddenly it's not possible to send a message without going to a clunky version of Facebook.


My objections are not with Facebook really. I'm willing to make the tradeoffs that are required to participate in Facebook. I wish it were better, but Facebook is responding to incentives and is rewarded for its actions, so it's hard for me to hate them, or expect moral virtuousness.

Facebook is just doing what capitalism tells it is ok. Hate for Facebook is wasted energy. We have to stop rewarding the behaviors that we don't wish to see repeated.
