How to delete is not the problem. That’s the trivial part. In fact, you don’t even need to delete your account. Just stop using it and it’s practically the same effect.
The problem is how to get your friends and acquintances out of there. Lots of things are there and only there. Like for instance, it’s my jujitsu club’s main place of information. If I quit FB, I will no longer know what’s happening there.
Put pressure on the group owners to pack it up and move the group elsewhere. Where the group goes, they’ll follow.
Do it! Delete it.
Deleted everything Meta related in 2022. I have no regrets. Zuck can Suck it
fuck!
i made a filter with words “zuckerberg” and “meta” but not “facebook”
Good call.
Pffft! This is soooo 2015.
I turfed FB in 2015 as well (didn’t bother with the other stuff).
But now I’m worried I deactivated it and didn’t delete… I cannot remember.
If it’s just deactivated-- I wonder if it’s better to just leave it a greyed out graveyard, than to reactivate it just to delete. I feel reactivating would give it more information even, as I would be on a different device. It’s been dead a decade.
What do people suggest?
Gizmodo’s post on this has the most honest title: A Lot of People Are Searching for How to Delete Facebook and Instagram, and We Would Like Their Clicks
LOL! They’re not even pretending to be a news outlet anymore.
(Let’s see how many people miss the projecting by saying I’m missing the “joke”.)
Woosh
Become a master hacker who can access their servers?
Real question is, how can I uninstall Zuckerberg…
Don’t stop there:
sudo apt purge billionaires
Luigi isn’t a second rate character anymore.
That requires an adjuster
a special adjuster that andy has left at the office…
I don’t think that most of the lemmy crowd needs this info to beginn with…
But we may have friends and family members asking about it
And surely we would be happy to help if asked.
Remember to hit the gym and lawyer up next.
No, you hit the LAWYER and gym up.
This is a reference I haven’t seen in YEARS.
Damn that takes me back.
I had to look it up myself, but it appears to be divorce advice (hit the gym, lawyer up, delete facebook)
I think this started on reddit in like 2010 or something. Solid joke in this context.
Oh hey, good reminder. The one upside to the fact that my FB account continually revived itself while I was using my Quest 2 is that now I can delete my account (for the last time, I hope) as part of a widespread protest instead of a one-off annoyance.
Where’s the article on how to profit off of racist idiots on Facebook?
Make a red bubble store and sell political slogan T shirts. You can easily make a couple hundred a month just doing that. “This is Trump Country” shirts have been doing insanely well since November.
Anyone that still has these accounts hasn’t been paying attention the last few years and is part of the problem. I doubt many CURRENT Fb, Ig, Threads users will change their habits.
Dumb fucks
For those who need the context.
Is the process different from it was in 2015?
Now you must sacrifice your first born.
