    I deleted my account back in 2013. One thing I didn’t really think about was that someone else could spin up an account and pretend to be you after you leave. When I found out that someone did this I don’t think I did anything about it, I just looked at the account, cringed, and closed the window and never went back.

      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?

        Its deleted by now. However since you didnt request your data deleted complying with EU and California laws, its still very much there.

    I deleted my FB account years and years ago, and AFAIK it has never broken into my house and forced me to look at it. But of course Bonespurs takes office pretty soon so I guess nothing is certain.

    I only use it for messenger. And only then because it still has chat bubbles. There are many better messengers. But they don’t have chat bubbles that draw over other apps.

    I haven’t posted on FB in years.

    Supreme Commanders of a few nations have that proverbial red button to delete anything (customizable selection of what to delete, too). You just have to get in contact with one of them, call them for a cup of coffee. Ask them to rid you of that problem.

    If you’re still on those platforms, why would less censorship be the hill to die on?
