I want to quit using Facebook but but it's the school's main platform for announcements and communication
I opened facebook to check for any school announcements and the next thing I know is I've been doomscrolling for 2 hours. Time which could have been spent on more meaningful things.
As someone struggling with my mental health and also struggling to quit social media addiction, this is very frustrating.
I've already quit instagram, threads, tiktok, and YT shorts. But i just can't seem to quit facebook since my university uses this platform somehow as their MAIN PLATFORM FOR NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.
I find this... wrong. Just wrong.
I go to a somewhat "budget" (??) university so some might argue that it is to cater to some students who could only afford free data but what the heck. That's not a good enough reason.
Even the professors use Messenger as the main mode of communication. Lahat ng subjects may kanya-kangyang groupchats. Ang ingay, ang gulo. Lahat naka messenger. We have an official school email, we have canvas, but di nila iniu-utilize properly.
May professor naman ako na na-utilize naman nya properly yung resources provided ng school eh. He used Gmail chats for communication sa subject. It works naman eh.
Another problem is, tanders kasi mga prof namin kaya they're leaned towards using FB & Messenger kasi yun yung madali for them. But still, UNPROFESSIONAL.
I know i can just choose to avoid scrolling and. I also know i could just create a separate account only dedicated to school BUT U KNOW HOW FB COULD BE??! Kung anuano ipapkita nila sa feed mo kahit di mo finafallow.
