If you don't mind getting rid of every post in the timeline, there's News Feed Eradicator for Facebook:

At this point, maybe just delete your Facebook account?

Look, I don't like Facebook, but it provides me tangible value sans the news feed which I feel is bad for my health.

* Messenger is the hands down the best messaging experience that exists. It's super bloated which I'm sure annoys this crowd but it doesn't skip a beat.

* FB Events is the only thing I've ever been able to get people to use -- email chains and group messages aren't half as productive.

* Their real name policy, social graph, and blocking tools are essential for dealing with creepy people and stalkers.

* Local buy/sell/trade yardsale type things operate nigh exclusively on Facebook.

* Local professional networking and enthusiast groups also organize on Facebook.

Messenger Lite feels pretty slim.

FB Events is something that could be a spin-off with FB login. But yes, at least people use it.

Messenger is way too powerful to catch up with friends.
