If you’re still on those platforms, why would less censorship be the hill to die on?
Its less censorship AND an allowance of actual hate speech.
Ehh. While I don’t support Meta’s real name policy, with it being paired with this, I somewhat support allowing these people to out themselves. Let them face the societal consequences of hate speech.
It still has a real impact on the people being harmed. I dont know if bullies getting social consequences for their actions outweighs the pain they have already inflicted.
That said, hopefully better information dissemination will help anyone being targeted to find better places where bullies are defederated/moderated for being shitty humans rather than based on shareholder value and kissing the ring of a dictator.
It’s always good to leave them. It’s always good to remind and enable people to do so.
Sure, but why would less interference from the CIA or Mossad executives at fb be an incentive?
“It’s always good to remind and enable people to do so.”
Real question is, how can I uninstall Zuckerberg…
Don’t stop there:
sudo apt purge billionaires&& sudo apt autoremove
Luigi isn’t a second rate character anymore.
Mario is the black sheep of the family now
Mario needs to step up
That requires an adjuster
a special adjuster that andy has left at the office…
At the router. That is where I delete it.
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.
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.
Signal has chat bubbles
On Android, all messaging apps have bubbles.
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.
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.
Deleted everything Meta related in 2022. I have no regrets. Zuck can Suck it
Has he contacted you yet to schedule a time to suck it?
Sucky sucky
I did a year ago over their censorship. I don’t miss it.
Do it! Delete it.
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.
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?”
Is this @technology?
Tldr: u cant
In the UE we have the GDPR.
I often vpn into Europe to make gdpr request lol.
TL;DR Only if you misunderstand the intent of the word “delete”.
In the sense of getting rid of the sites themselves, sure, that’ll never happen.
And in the sense that once you’re known to them you’ll never be forgotten, at least not without a massive lawsuit that you’ve little chance of winning, yes.
But you can ask Meta to delete your account(s) and everything visibly associated with you to the point that you no longer have a presence on any of their sites, and that’s what this article is about.
One of the reasons Meta has been creating fake AI-based accounts is because so many people are doing this and they don’t like it and want to make it look like their site is still active. Which is an excellent reason to delete your accounts, even if they weren’t also doing a bunch of other heinous things.
And you can delete the apps from your phone. You should delete your accounts first though.
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.
