      FB messenger user asked me how to hide that she's online—not show up on people's active tab. 20 min of searching, and I have no idea. Nuts.

      Great advice for immigrants who'd lose touch with much of family & friends who can barely use anything but Facebook.https://twitter.com/3L3V3NTH/status/915979846236246017 …

      I think there are much simpler forms of communication instead of using Facebook if you have internet connection.

          Thanks, everyone, I found it with the help of someone working on Messenger. Privacy options should be the easiest stuff to use; not hardest.

          Tab under people->active that you can use to turn it off. It's there, not advertised, was hard to find for me.https://twitter.com/citizen_of_now/status/915983888614293505 …

          Yes, hard to find and turn-off active status, but made immediately easy and people nudged to turn it back on.https://twitter.com/ricfouad/status/915987590360260608 …

          Would be useful for me too. My mom always tries to msg me, because it looks like I'm logged in via my phone. Tech is hard, even for techies.

          I would love to get my family on something like Jabber or IRC that I run, but that's no where near as easy as facebook.

          Hell, even something like signal or what's app is too difficult because it's something new they have to learn.

          I might understand it better than you think. However the issue we are addressing is easy form of comm for immigrants to stay in touch.

          Every public request for tech help is met with “junk all your hardware and software and replace it with what I prefer,” or go full Luddite.
