#deleteyouraccount — Public Fediverse posts

For my birthday today… I deleted the Facebook account I created in September to access Marketplace. It served its purpose. I was going to sell other things but never got around to it. Then friends started requesting to be friends. It was awkward. I didn’t accept any requests and even made one post on my profile that I wouldn’t be friending anyone.. that it was only for Marketplace. People still requested…

Then a colleague/friend passed away and I missed an RSVP because someone sent me the message on FB rather than real life even though we weren’t FB connected and hadn’t communicated on there for years. This is what happens when people treat FB like the entirety of “the internet” and “communication”. I have a website with my name and phone! My address is not hard to search. Email!?

I was angry and sad about that. 😢

So ya… if I do the Marketplace thing again I’ll just make a temp account and delete it after use, like a single use plastic bag to pick up dog poop. 💩 🤣

In the meantime I’ll keep focusing on good people here on the #opensocialweb… and also connecting with people in real life.

Most of the 48 years I have spent on this earth have been without Facebook. I’ll manage :)

(Don't congratulate me, this is not my main account.)

Nope, I didn't make a mistake. I'm deleting my Instagram account because Meta made a serious mistake.

Mistodon: this is the only part of a larger suite of somewhat hostile #teletext #ASCIIart typographical works by @atonalosprey that we managed to include in the recent unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection, but under some circumstances it remains excellent advice. #deleteyouraccount

Another reason to #DeleteYourAccount on X instead of parking it in protected mode: it makes numbers go down. And unfortunately, many organizations look at follower numbers and think "oh, we still have a huge presence here, we cannot give that up". If you leave X, make it count - literally.

I am soooo #DoneWithTwitter.

When the cultist and insurrectionist Roger Fucking Stone shows up in my timeline even though I don't follow him or any of his antics, that's when I know it's time to delete my twitter account.

I'll be a full-time Elephanter 🐘 in a couple of days. :party:

Update:
Today, I deactivated my twitter account. I'm done helping Musk turn our country over to fascists.

Are you still on twitter? #DeleteYourAccount
While your at it, delete your facebook account too!
