    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.

      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.

      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.

      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?”

    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.

    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.
