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.
Virtue signaling 😁
Nah, Facebook and Instagram are the worst. Facebook is some ad riddled, AI slop, filled late stage capitalism hellscape. Worth not using just for mental health.
I quit all social media except for Lemmy, and I have to say it’s been great. Especially getting off of Twitter.
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?
Its deleted by now. However since you didnt request your data deleted complying with EU and California laws, its still very much there.
Is the process different from it was in 2015?
Now you must sacrifice your first born.
Why? META/Zuck is becoming more and more based by the day.
How to “delete” them? Words really have no meaning anymore.
It’s short for deleting your account, data, etc… People ommit those words for a long time now, like “Do you have Lemmy?” or “What is your Mastodon?”
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
Do they have Facebook trackers embedded in their page? I’ll bet they do.
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
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 did a year ago over their censorship. I don’t miss it.
Is this @technology?
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.
On Android, all messaging apps have bubbles.
Signal has chat bubbles
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.
Is it good to know that there ís still person in this world doesn’t rely much more on social media even though that is the biggest mainstream in this world.
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.
at least it was. my family had posted photos and tagged me in them. At that point I hadn’t had a FB for almost a decade. this was years ago now, but I doubt they changed it.
