I should, too, but it's a great data set for my "every misogynist I meet is dumb as a bag of rocks" study (still workshopping the title; it's a bit long)
Idk if I should delete mine because I stopped using it about a decade ago and I don’t want to have to do anything with Meta to get back into my account. Like, “Nah, just let a ghost me exist then.”
I keep it to look at the menus and hours of a few local places that don't have their own websites, but if I acvidently press something that isn't the search bar for those 5 recent searches I find myself getting the Herbie jeebies.
I love that aliexpress sends me facebook tracking notifications when things get to my country. Haven't gotten a message from a legitimate human in nearly a decade lol.
Yup. All my friends and family use Facebook's Messenger for communications. I've tried several times but I never manage to move anyone away to better platforms. Not like they have to give up Messenger for me, just joine me elsewhere - but nooo... can't be arsed to install and use an extra app. *sigh*
Wierd ! I was using it as more of a creative platform, but NO ONE interacted. Its just thirst traps , ai and lies , someone asked me "do you know the sun might not be real?" Like bruh ... the only time I would get engagement was when I was posting selfies or text posts , any art or culture was lost , I even fell into the green eyed monster. Believing the lie that everyone's life is so perfect , truth is. Im probably alot happier and more free than most of my FB "friends"
If it makes you feel any better, FB marketplace is 99% scams anymore from what my mom has told me. People don't have the thing they're selling or they never show up to buy the thing they want or they just straight up never reply to messages.

Never should have had it to begin with. Fuck zuckerberg
RobbieRodriguez
I closed my account and never had the app. Also did insta and whatsapp. Fuck Bezos and meta

I disengaged from pretty much all social media with exception of Imgur about 11 years ago. Best decision for my mental health I could have made.

I ditched it back in 2021. I was amazed at how many of my family were practically angry at me. Social media is such a cult.
RetroBlast
It's my only way to keep in touch with extended family. I don't check it often, and when I do I use the web site instead of the app.

2 things to do when using the internet: avoid meta and alphabet.

Ditched mine back in late 2018. Never looked back.

2016 here, during drumpf's rise, when I saw just how many people were truly stupid and evil.
Soonitwillallbeclean
Did that years ago, along with Twitter, Instagram, and snap chat. It's fucking great.

Heebie-jeebies. Dumbass autocorrect wouldn't know a good phrase if it kicked it in the onomatopoeia.

Herbie-jeebies.
Targe0
Now don't sign up to another social media site to replace it which is just as bad as it.
Boeskool
You do realize that this is also a social media platform right?
UnsweetenedAlmond
Yea but this platform is all wierdos ? Good soup
Targe0
But this one isn't algorithm driven.
Which means it functions very differently.

I ditched mine in January this year. I was surprised by how dead set some people are on only communicating through facebook. Shit's weird

I've never had a Facebook account. It kinda sucked when people started using FB Marketplace instead of Craigslist though.
