      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.

    How to “delete” them? Words really have no meaning anymore.

      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.

    Become a master hacker who can access their servers? Probably super illegal, though.

    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.
