Why isn't there an official "Delete your Facebook account" day?

Normies will eat that shit right up.
>>
>>55620448
I would need to create one just to delete it...
>>
>>55620448
What do you get out of it?
>>
>>55620448
I use my account for communication.

It'd be nice, though, if there was an easy way to strip out all the data I've dumped into it over the years. I'd like to delete all my posts, likes, uploads, etc. and just be left with a blank account for use on Messenger.

>but they'd still have ur datas

yes, but they would if I deleted the account and started a new one, too. I've accepted Facebook as a necessary evil. It's the messaging platform of choice of my friends, and it's also how all the parties and events I go to are planned.

>it's also how all the parties and events I go to are planned.

Nobody invites you directly? That's a shame.
>>
>>55621530
>directly inviting <10 people ever

you must not have a lot of friends.
>>
>>55620448
It was a link to that, not just to deactivate it.(but your data will still be stored at facebook and will be legally owned by facebook.)
>>
>>55620448
"delete"
You mean deactivate
>>
>>55620470
Wow, you're so cool

Obviously he doesn't, he's an edgy teenage autist who considers anything useful or popular to be plebian normalfag trash. Would you want to be friends with him?

Isn't facebook the internet?
>>
>>55621647
I have friends, who want me there, and thus invite me to gatherings in person, by calling, or by texting. If your friends do not do this to you, then my condolences. Personal invitations are infinitely more meaningful. Nothing edgy about it.

jesus anon are you describing how you used to do this back in the 90s when you were in your 30s?
>>
>>55621910
If I am invited either by a friend of a friend, or through one of my direct friends, who want me there, then I show up. Otherwise I do not.

It's pretty simple, really. I don't have to be at every party. I am not 16 anymore.
>>
>>55621922
July 4th + fireworks included. Nobody got hurt.
>>
>>55621946

It sounds like you have incredibly autistic rules about how you invite or get invited to events

I'm not autistic, so I just use Facebook
>>
>>55620448
I celebrated that day about 4 years ago. I regret nothing.

Because you obviously won't be able to make a post about it on FB to get likes.

how?
>>
>>55621974
I prefer human interaction instead of "general" invites that address no one in particular and sound like they seek attention and instant gratification. "Look how many "Likes" I am getting!"

I just chill with my buddies, and we enjoy each other's company. Feels good, mon.
>>
>>55622031
You forgot your frog pic.
>>
>>55622136
You got that backwards you dimwit, frogposters are the actual normalfags.
>>
>>55622132

I understand your desire to chill with your buddies. I do the same thing. But I go to large events also.

I really don't see why you find that so offensive. But whatever, wasn't this thread about deleting facebook?

I love you anon never forget that
>>
>>55622153
well, it obviously varies from board to board

There's an Activity Log where it lists everything you ever posted on your wall, or somebody else's wall, or on someone else's photo.

facebook DOT com SLAH *YOURUSERNAME* SLASH allactivity

I don't know what happens when you make a comment on a photo and then the poster of the photo hides it from you (maybe because he unfriends you or something).
>>
>>55622313
It even lists your likes which is pretty helpful in case you want to undo everything.
>>
>>55622313
problem is with an old account (mine is ten years old and I used to be very active on it), it would take literally hours, possibly days of free time, to clear manually

there are some greasemonkey scripts to do it though. Might give one a shot overnight
>>
>>55622411
>there are some greasemonkey scripts
Or you could make your own, or use iMacros and go through everything and hit delete.

not really
in normie world, having facebook and twitter accounts are seen as the internet equivalent of having a name
anyone who claims to not have one or doesn't want to tell you is automatically a weirdo
>>
>>55622710
You can always use a fake name though (at least most of the time). I have a go-to fake name and a go-to fake address that doesn't even exists.

>>
>>55622830
truth

it's easier to just use your real name and not post on Facebook than to use an alias and post about your loli collection
>>
>>55622830
I know a few people who literally do this. It works for them apparently.
>>
>>55622846
Because there's absolutely nothing in between.
>>
>>55622912

"in between" is being a normie and posting status updates and uploading photos to Facebook that you might regret in a few years, or using some other communication medium like Snapchat etc.

But if your friends use Facebook as their main communication method (re: most millenials), then you kind of need to have an account to at least use Messenger
>>
>>55622951
And for that, a fake account is sufficient.
>>
It takes 2 weeks to fully disable the accounts, most people would probably "delete" their account and then open the app a few days later, reactivating the account.
>>
>>55623001
"anon, why don't you use your real name on Facebook?"
"because I'm afraid of the government"

>having a facebook account
I admit I fell for the Facebook meme in 2005 as a freshman in college but once I learned that
a) high school kids were starting to get accounts
b) people were using it for things OTHER than making study sessions

I stopped using my account, and later (do not remember when) had it fully deleted. There is literally no advantage to having a facebook account. Do you really give a fuck about what political opinions your uncle holds or finding out why that faggot at work REALLY called out and left you to cover 2 people's shifts at once?
