Deleted my FB account

[Retired Grunt]

I remember when we called TV the vast wasteland, then came Fakebook, I deleted my account in 2019 along with Twitter. MeWe and Clout Hub, can't get on GAB it is like molasses

What is this facebook you all speak of?

 

[miningshawn]

I may be the only voice of dissent here. I use FaceBook to keep in touch with my military folks. FB wasn't the political animal then that it is now. I have somewhere around 400 people that I couldn't really keep in touch with otherwise, and they are an important and irreplaceable part of my life.

It just plain sucks that FB has deteriorated to this point. I will remain a member until something better comes that is reliable and neutral - but that probably won't happen with the extreme polarization that we see lately.

I deleted my FB as well. I have posted pics of some of my rifles, wishing now I wouldn't have.

I guess we all take our chances. But its not looking good...

There are so many ways to stay in touch with family/friends and retain photo's anymore, that Facebook sure can't be missed much, overall.
I actually do most of my contact with friends/relatives directly with email anymore anyway. And some even with Zoom.
Twitter and the others I don't and have never went onto, so with facebook gone, no loss at all.

I just deleted my FB account last night.

I logged out of my account two weeks before Christmas. Haven’t been back on since, after watching the linked video on page one I will log back in and delete it. I will miss the machinist for sale forums and a few others but the relief my brain gets from not being on there is worth it.

 

[rardoin]

Never had one.

same here

 

[Nature Boy]

Never had one.

Me either

I guess some are unaware that all of us that have never had any social media accounts are part of the "silent majority". Since they never hear from us they think we're silent!

 

[Murray Brook]

Never had one and never will..

Same here and the same goes for twitter and the like.

I am very very close here to deleting my dish network account. I will miss some of the good programming but there is very little left that I consider good. And just knowing that some of my money goes to fake news and such makes me want to puke.

Soon as my contract is up I'm dropping my Dish acct faster than a hot rock. Nothing there anyway.

 

[Downhill]

Never had an account. Don't care what anyone else is doing and Don't want them to know what I am doing. But we did dump Dish.

It was a lot easier than I thought. But......is it really deleted?

there we go- thats what i think. I dont believe when you delete your password so you dont get access, that they delete everything about you. Once you signup for an account thats it they got you. They just keep using your information for their benefit. FBs main thing has always been about getting all the personal info they can about everybody they can. So does it really matter if i delete my login info or just dont use FB- i dont think so.

Thank you so much!!!!!!!

It only matters if you believe it's ok for someone to make a profit from your "presence" and then use the money(donations to dems) to diminish your rights and fundamentally change the country.

I post political messages that are definitely not in line with FB views.
Until they delete my account I will continue to post messages I feel strongly about.
Fukem!!

I can honestly say I've watched less than 5 hrs of TV per year for over 15 years. The reason I even count 5 hrs is for the occasions when the TV is on at the hospital or while I'm waiting for someone to get ready to go and they had it on.
I don't miss it even a little bit, but I do spend a fair amount of time on line. But not on any of the big social media platforms.

With all of their tracking cookies and advertisements, they can make money off of you without your presence too.

It took some doing, but I was able to finally delete my Facebook account...I got the password run around trying delete it, but I finally managed. The embolden lefty's are coming at us.
Good luck everyone!

What is the procedure? They haven't answered my messages.
