Facebook? Welcome to 2014 bro.

Let me know when you delete google.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

well, google just kinda sits there. at this point its just a search engine i sometimes use to get to Yandex when im being lazy and inefficient.

Google cookies are everywhere. Any site that hopes to have any real traffic uses google.

Every time I say something on there I get suspended for 30 days so it's more like they deleted me.

You can always use temp-mail as the account email. That way once it expires you’ll never have access to it again.

i did something better :) i changed my password to something i cant remember. i cant log in or use that account ever again

If you have access to the email, doesn't it still let you reset it?

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

I don't think so at this point. It's my old highschool email I don't use anymore

Well done buddy. Delete mine around 5 years ago, deleted twitter about a year ago. Fuck them both

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

to be honest i made a twitter account once and never saw the point and never used it. never lost sleep over it and never participated on other social media platforms. i had an instagram for art only, and Deviantart for art sharing as well.

I deleted my Facebook account. I even changed my password to something random so i cant try to log back in.

Does facebook not require entering your current password in order to delete the account?

Because if you delete the account, you cannot then change the password to something random on an account that no longer exists.

But, if you had first changed your password to something random that you didn't document and then went to delete the account, you couldn't enter that current password into the field to verify that you wished to delete your account as you have no idea what it is as you didn't document it.

Or does facebook only require that you "click this button to remove your access to this account"? (because no account is ever deleted, you just remove your own access to that account and its content becomes hidden, but it will forever exist in their database)

It does and has forever. I did it a similar way to her. I had a notepad open and I autistically typed on my keyboard with my eyes averted then ctrl+a, ctrl+c and alt-tabbed to my kikebook page and pasted it in.

valid concerns. i have the password saved in case of an emergency but its long and confusing so i cant commit it to memory. but it appeared i didnt have to use my password to delete my account so ill be deleting that file save in a second. it was so hard to figure out how to delete it im so glad they dont make you do a password dance

Interesting. Thanks for replying.

I only had a facebook page very briefly over 15 years ago before "deleting" it, so it has been a long time and I could not recall how they had the process of deletion implemented.

thats a good feeling. i remember when i was in the 8th grade everyone had a facebook but i didnt spend much time on the computer or talking to people and a student asked me if she could friend me on facebook and i was like, "what the hell is a facebook". i dont think i got one till late im my second year of higschool. i onlly really started using it when i started networking within my career and started making more friends. i used it to make plans and schedule etc but there is too much faggot snoflake worship on there now for me to enjoy terrorizing them with my saucy free speech memes anymore.

That's pretty bad that you think you won't be able to resist and therefore need to makeup a password you can't remember to keep you from logging on again.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

its a form of forced self imposed self control. just because i dont have the self control to leave it cold turkey unassisted doesnt mean i dont need it out of my life.

i have lots of friends and family i talked to on a regular basis and groups i participate in regularly. i used it alot when i couldnt afford a phone bill. groups i were on were mostly educational ones about snake IDs and plant IDs or shitposting meme groups where i share saucy memes i find on poal. the plandemic made it one of my only sources of socializing with my friends. it really became a way of life and it was toxic as helll because i can be toxic as hell

i know theres other and better ways to live my life and i will be doing that instead. no one NEEDS facebook, theres other solutions to those problems i entioned

Good job for deleting facebook. I understand your reasoning. My argument is you are using a crutch in order to quit and therefore not properly changing the way you think.

You have to train your brain to protect itself from failure. By "limiting" the amout of ways you can fail, in this case a password you do not know, you are also limiting your ability to not fail again in the future if limits or protections are not in place. Now if the urge hits to log in, your brain doesn't have to actually do work to protect itself because you "can't" log in as opposed to you "won't" log in.

i see what you're saying but i have failed to delete facebook in the past for this reason. i would be farther ahead in my personal development if i had thought to use a crutch sooner. My brain will still heal and i will move on :)
