I deleted my FB account years and years ago, and AFAIK it has never broken into my house and forced me to look at it. But of course Bonespurs takes office pretty soon so I guess nothing is certain.
fuck!
i made a filter with words "zuckerberg" and "meta" but not "facebook"
Good call.
Become a master hacker who can access their servers? Probably super illegal, though.
I did a year ago over their censorship. I don’t miss it.
Is the process different from it was in 2015?
Now you must sacrifice your first born.
Is this @technology?
Oh hey, good reminder. The one upside to the fact that my FB account continually revived itself while I was using my Quest 2 is that now I can delete my account (for the last time, I hope) as part of a widespread protest instead of a one-off annoyance.
Anyone that still has these accounts hasn’t been paying attention the last few years and is part of the problem. I doubt many CURRENT Fb, Ig, Threads users will change their habits.
Dumb fucks
For those who need the context.
I deleted mine many years ago, 10/10 would recommend!
If you’re still on those platforms, why would less censorship be the hill to die on?
Its less censorship AND an allowance of actual hate speech.
Ehh. While I don’t support Meta’s real name policy, with it being paired with this, I somewhat support allowing these people to out themselves. Let them face the societal consequences of hate speech.
It still has a real impact on the people being harmed. I dont know if bullies getting social consequences for their actions outweighs the pain they have already inflicted.
That said, hopefully better information dissemination will help anyone being targeted to find better places where bullies are defederated/moderated for being shitty humans rather than based on shareholder value and kissing the ring of a dictator.

Tldr: u cant
TL;DR Only if you misunderstand the intent of the word "delete".
In the sense of getting rid of the sites themselves, sure, that'll never happen.
And in the sense that once you're known to them you'll never be forgotten, at least not without a massive lawsuit that you've little chance of winning, yes.
But you can ask Meta to delete your account(s) and everything visibly associated with you to the point that you no longer have a presence on any of their sites, and that's what this article is about.
One of the reasons Meta has been creating fake AI-based accounts is because so many people are doing this and they don't like it and want to make it look like their site is still active. Which is an excellent reason to delete your accounts, even if they weren't also doing a bunch of other heinous things.
And you can delete the apps from your phone. You should delete your accounts first though.
