• ask them to post these hilarious #drawings in parallel to #mastodon? or
• screenshot some and post on the #sverigesakrobaterna hashtag?

How to Delete All of Your Social Media Accounts
Breaking up is hard to do — harder yet when there’s a deactivation period. Here’s how to log off every big social site, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, Threads, Bluesky, and Truth Social.

They all want to rip what they can without consequence.

Like many others, I am in the process of leaving the Meta bubble. I wrote a blog post on why and how, which also includes a template and a graphic for an "exit-statement", that you're more than welcome to use if you have similar plans and want to let your friends know before pulling the plug: https://fynnlaue.com/bye-meta

Ahem. Break up with Meta. Stop making excuses. Just do it. I deleted my 20 year old account a year or so ago after largely not using it. Stop being the product! #deletefacebook #DeleteMeta #deleteinstagram https://mastodon.social/@ricmac/114829346822972007

Oh no…now Meta is automatically sharing our private messages to its AI. As far as I can tell, you can only turn it off for each message thread, one at a time (and there seems to be no option to turn it off *at all* for group threads!). Yet another privacy disaster from Facebook.
I use Messenger btw for family and non-tech friends, so don’t (ahem) shoot the messenger.

@LeftistLawyer The #DeleteFacebook hashtag seems to fit.

German court rules #Meta tracking technology violates European privacy laws
therecord.mediaGerman court rules Meta tracking technology violates European privacy lawsThe court in Leipzig ruled that Meta must pay €5,000 ($5,900) to a German Facebook user who sued the platform for embedding tracking technology in third-party websites — a ruling that could open the door to other lawsuits.
Finally got through the process of downloading my old Facebook and couple of Instagram accounts data today. Pretty extensive! Had wait several days on Facebook alone.
Just clicked to confirm deletion of ALL my Meta accounts and couldn't be happier!
I have also mostly finished moving all +200 online accounts using my various gmail and outlook emails over to Proton Mail aliases! Coming for you next Google and Microsoft, so watch out!
It's hard work, but take back your data, privacy, and peace of mind from these big tech companies that profit from your doomscrolling and selling your data!
Thanks to all the folks on here, Reddit, and YouTube that have given insight, especially @techlore. Thank you!
Zucky and Co sure were smart to choose the name Meta for their dumb company. Every "meta analysis" has folks wondering if it's the OG definition, or if maybe it's shoddy research conducted by spoiled tech bros. Free advertisement, even if you hate the company. Well played, shortie.
PS: Mark Zucky is short and that really bothers him tell a friend
Even better to #deletefacebook

It amazes me that anyone remains on #FaceBook at all.
Like lambs to the slaughter. #DeleteFaceBook now!

@Sarahp
Yet another reason people need to bite the bullet and delete ALL Meta apps and leave the platforms. Do you really want Zuck to have access to your nudes or politically sensitive stuff which he could then share with Trump?

Längst sind wir zutiefst verstrickt und haben uns abhängig gemacht und abhängig machen lassen. Der Digitalzwang, der uns als so unabdingbar für unsere Zukunft verkauft wird, zahlt weiter auf dieses menschenverachtende Geschäftsmodell ein. Auch, wenn es "unbequem" wird - emanzipiert euch!
Die Abhängigkeit von russischen fossils ist nichts gegen die Abhängigkeit von den Silicon-Valley-Oligarchen!
