    @TianaHRR fr, especially over the internet it's such a weird expectation. that's something i've always had an issue with with, like, FB messenger and Discord n stuff, they imply that im just available all the time whenever anyone wants me, which is absolutely not the case haha.

    @UBAGroup @OluwadepoJerer1 It is a shame that a transaction of N150,000 dispense error transaction was not reversed since February 3 after several complains via a branch office, Twitter, email and Facebook messenger. This business money for God sake. Pls I need urgent help.

    @SportsDirect_CS I've been trying to contact customer service via Facebook messenger. I got an initial response from someone saying they will look in to it and have heard nothing since. My order was sent to my old address (my fault), and apparently returned to Evri?

    @AlteredLake35 @Affi32059785 @poke_miners I honestly think discored is too complicated for a lot of pogo players. Majority of of pogo players are 30+. We had a huge problem getting players to communicate on discored. We tried out telegram and it was a happy middle ground between Facebook messenger and doscored.
