    I deleted my account back in 2013. One thing I didn’t really think about was that someone else could spin up an account and pretend to be you after you leave. When I found out that someone did this I don’t think I did anything about it, I just looked at the account, cringed, and closed the window and never went back.

      I turfed FB in 2015 as well (didn’t bother with the other stuff).

      But now I’m worried I deactivated it and didn’t delete… I cannot remember.

      If it’s just deactivated-- I wonder if it’s better to just leave it a greyed out graveyard, than to reactivate it just to delete. I feel reactivating would give it more information even, as I would be on a different device. It’s been dead a decade.

      What do people suggest?

        Its deleted by now. However since you didnt request your data deleted complying with EU and California laws, its still very much there.

      It’s short for deleting your account, data, etc… People ommit those words for a long time now, like “Do you have Lemmy?” or “What is your Mastodon?”

    you don't

    at least it was. my family had posted photos and tagged me in them. At that point I hadn’t had a FB for almost a decade. this was years ago now, but I doubt they changed it.

    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.
