They discontinued Messenger for desktop and now users must do an additional install for accessing Messenger (hint: users are lazy and more likely to ignore the missing functionality at all)... and so they're killing off the only thing that still keeps users accessing Facebook. Yay.
Fb was way more engaging when I had to Guess whether someone was available via mobile or web. Since they've done me the favor of confirming that most people are actively browsing on phones I'm already less inclined to open a chat window.
Glad they're making it safer and easier for me to disengage!

Why is that an epic failure? Start using the Facebook Messenger app and you'll have a smaller download when new versions ship. I think it's great.

Remember when everyone moved from AOL to AIM? Now neither are used at all.
But now I have to have two icons on my home screen when I really just want one.
The OP doesn't use Facebook for any reason but messaging. It's arguably less good for you, and more good for them.
