🖕Zuckerburg. Haven't been on meta platforms in years now and I dont miss it.

• discontinues a feature that never existed

I was only on Facebook because i had it from almost the beginning.

It's interesting that it generated the feeling that it is important and closing account you will lose something very valuable.

You have that feeling until you actually pull the trigger and them you realize that you never needed it. It is all addiction, Facebook just sends content that is triggering you. The greens that you worry that you might lose contact with it, majority you never talk with, the others there's so many other ways to connect with.

Facebook is just cancer.

It's bullshit anyways

Delete. Your. Meta.
Delete… Your… Meta.

My local post office did the same. All letters and packages are now sent open so staff can read and see the contents. /s

End to end encryption is meaningless when they control both ends....

Zuckerbeeg is a creep mf like how James Doakes put it.

I always wanted to delete my Instagram account, I don't really have FOMO, nor am I addicted to doomscrolling but literally everyone else I know either uses WhatsApp or Instagram to text me.

Unlike America nobody uses iMessages or whatever to text, so naturally it's mostly WhatsApp. Everyone in my school though it's  a different mess.

Phones aren't encouraged in schools here so we rarely take phones to school so the teachers won't make a scene out of it, so. Whenver you wanna contact somebody they just say Text me in insta

I hate it, Everyone texts me in instagram, I have a matrix bridge to just view and reply to my messages but I don't think I will be ever happy until I delete the Instagram account.

You can say, they aren't real friends or I shouldn't care about it but tell me how the duck can I convince my parents or grandma to text me in signal instead? Moreover, I'm gonna lose in touch with a lot of people who wouldn't know how to contact me otherwise if I leave Instagram

This just feels like a trap, I really want to leave it but Oh my GOD, the social networking aspect of a social networking site holding me back :|, I will figure it out I guess.

They are advertising WhatsApp like its the most secure messaging app XD, When you check the privacy settings in whatsapp, The only options they give is

*Who to hide your status or profile pictures from*

They failed in their project to steal drug dealer entrapment business from Telegram (which has similar fake e2ee chats) and decided to close up shop.

At some point a few years into the future you can be that interesting person people install Signal for.

I told multiple people that I don't reply on social media. Approximately 70% of them installed Signal and the rest will just call or SMS me.

I guess soo

Did you download all your data before leaving?

Hopefully they do it to WhatsApp so people people it.

I did. That's another thing they try to make difficult.

Your can't just download it, you have to schedule it, and when it is ready you have relatively short time to grab it, otherwise you have to request it again.

They can still use pgp over insta lolol

Well... When I first quit, I stopped getting invited to stuff / knowing what events my social circle was organizing and that was frustrating and I was loosing something valuable.

But since I was an early quitter, things have gotten much better as over the last few years most of the rest of my social circle has followed me off.

In my case this wasn't an issue. While in the past events were used, no one have used them in years in my circle so I even forgot about them.
