Defrendtion is a free Facebook app that will allow you to call out your friends who tend to post distasteful or unsavory updates on the social media forum.
Melding the two words detention and dislike into one, the app is a quirky and humorous way to poke fun at your friends by giving them a ‘time out’ for a period of time for their WTF-inducing behavior. There are probably over a hundred social no no’s that should never be violated, which is why this handy app will serve as a great reminder to those friends who do so (you know who you are). Some of the most common infractions include the overuse of hash tags as well as the oversharer who dishes out every aspect of their life, even during those personal moments such as during a break up.
Regardless of the type of person you have friended on your Facebook page, the Defrendtion app provides you a way to let your pals know of their annoying behavior without having to awkwardly unfriend them.
