Buena decisión
Son buenas decisiones aunque nos hayan llamado loco en ese momento
4 years fb free and proud
Same
I ran a cleanup script before deleting just to make damn sure i was clear of it. Worked well.
They probably still think you're crazy.

I'm 11 years FB sober
Oh noes! How on earth could you communicate with anybody???
Facebook is classmates.com with an assigned FBI surveillance agent attached.
the cesspools one had to wade through to discover the gems in facebook and twitter in the end just weren't worth it
SAME
I'm happy to say, "I just skipped Facebook." To be honest, I never understood it...the interface never made sense to me so I never did anything with it. The funny thing was that my wife (who uses it on occasion) tried to friend me, but me not understanding what was going on, I either denied her friend request or accepted then unfriended her. I don't even know. (But she knows and reminds me on occasion!) 😄
O yeah, farcebook used to be a thing! 😆
TO BE FAIR I LOST TOUCH WITH 95% OF MY “FRIENDS” AS A RESULT.

NEVER DID FACEBOOK
SNOWDEN RELEASE WAS A GUARANTEE
#Nostr only 🤙🧡
It’s been 15 years 👍🏼 Joined 2008, left 3 months later when I realised it was shit. Smelt too much like FriendsReunited in the UK, which was also shit.
People still using that? 🤣
OH HELL YEAH SAME
DELETING FACEBOOK SHOWS YOU WHO YOUR REAL FRIENDS ARE.
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY.
For a good while, have been deleting accounts every single day
Same. I was in it early, but Zuckery was too disgusting for me.
Went through the delete timeout and everything, and occasionally make sure I'm not taggable in pics.

I had Facebook in 2008... used it for Redpilling people.... they weren't ready!!!
Deleted after about 6 months!
was the same for me.
But all my non bitcoin friends don't understand why I don't want to use whatsapp and telegram
That is a good point
Not crazy at all!
Meta is a pox on humanity.
The like minded from my generation, early millenials and late gen x, avoided facebook all together. We saw the problem at myspace. My entire highschool friend group does no social. I got sucked in while studying bitcoin. Its really not been helpful. Im out from twitter but hanging with nostr due to the freedom aspect.
Tous l'essentiel est de ne pas être addicts de tous ces Platforms même s'ils sont intéressants une approche sociologique....tout en sachant que n'importe platform negocie avec les autorités des marchés de tout pays pour y déployer leurs services ..les utilisateurs qui pensent que ces plateformes les protègent se trompent lourdement ..d'autant plus que certains ne pensent qu'aux nombres d'utilisateurs .. tout en faisant signer des conditions d'utilisation que les usagers acceptent sans comprendre qui sont leurs partenaires..
It's hard for me to delete Facebook when I have never created an account to begin with.
Boom.
never used facebool feeling good anyway and medical exam are ok! 😏😏
Same and agree. Closer to 14 years ago adios FB. Getting close to torching LinkedIn.
🤙
Wise
🫡
Same. Inevitable immune reaction.
It's like when promoting nostr and simplex "but all my friends use Facebook and WhatsApp" those are not friends.
Same...
Been 8 years for me. I did end up making a empty account just for marketplace. Unfortunately it's mostly replaced Craig's list
Hard same 🤙

FRIENDS ACTED LIKE I WAS CRAZY WHEN I DELETED FACEBOOK OVER A DECADE AGO.
ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS OF MY LIFE.
View quoted note →
More than a decade ago I deleted Facebook and Instagram (anything belonging to Facebook) then Facebook bought Whatsapp I had to delete it too, it was hard in the begining but I'm glad I went through and now all my frequent contacts use better apps except one guy, which is doing email and SMS only.
I also stop using Gmail and use Protonmail for a long time too (always paid in Bitcoin).
Now I stopped using Twitter and should consider delete all my account as well, just lazy to do it but as I never connect anyway I'm not in a hurry.
happened to me too. some reached out to ask why I was mad at them 😆
I think my grandma literally thought it meant I was no longer using computers. Which was ultra confusing cause it's what I do for a living 😂
Same here, I managed to get all my friends and family to install Signal for group chats and direct messages. I told them they could reach me on Signal if they wanted to stay in touch and they did. Probably most of them still have WhatsApp installed ..
Same here. Edward Snowden changed my life. I have so much gratitude for that man.
I wish I could, but my mom doesn't know how to use her phone and messenger is my only way to call her.
Quite scary.
I hope someday I'm able to have her near me so I can help her.
I can't stand facebook.
Plot twist.... 😆 Naww fuck Elon! I got blocked by a Bitcoiner for retweeting somet

Same thing happened to me when I decided it was time to cut that thing out of my life almost 10 years ago.
No regrets.
how do you buy cheap furniture? 😂
It is, same here and also ditched WhatsApp. Both never missed it one second!
What even is the point in Facebook in 2024?
Haha. You were on the right side of history with that one.
Same here. Deleted it years ago and never looked back.
I lost a large group of friends because I wouldn’t use Facebook. Probably better this way
Do you really want to be friends with those people?
Deleted my FB in 2016. Totally DON’T miss it at all.
People used to look at you weird, like you were a freak for not being on Facebook. Then it became a trend and people left in large numbers. What was once fringe, became norm.
Some yes, but mostly no.
LOSE the CAPS!!!….thanks MARTY.
but its good to be crazy, or look crazy to others, right?
why was it the best decisions in your life?
How can you loose friends for not using an app? Call them to chat and then invite them for a BBQ, or what ever you like to do with these friends. If you don't like to do anything with them or they have no time for you, then you can say that you loose these friends.
Remember "poking"? Glad I quit it too over a decade ago. I could sense there was an unpleasant behavioral change in my friends due to it. I didn't want that for myself.
#nostr ONLY! <3
I did it in 2020. Same, best decision ever.
Got rid of social media, then just recently got back to Twitter… deleted it and came not #NOSTR 😂 I think I’ll stay here
Stay humble, delete corporate social media.
#NODELL
Ditto! Nostr only. Everything else is a distraction.
It’s was over time and you are correct. They choose to only respond on Facebook so I guess they weren’t the best of friends. More of a breakdown in communication which led to the loss of friendship.
💯
Same here along with No Google since 2012
Was the script a public repo? If so, would be interested in this if you happen to remember the link
same bro 🤝
Just checked, it was a tamperMonkey script, or grease monkey. I can't find exactly what it was but it deleted all friends, all posts, images, tags and whatever else you could do with Facebook in 2013. It's been a while. Sorry I couldn't find it but maybe you'll have better luck
Lots of lefties deleted it because FB failed to censor enough 😂
Yeah mine too. I went even further and I'm also not using Whatsapp - there's still people who are surprised why ;)
