#2I take a facebook "sabbatical" every couple of years where I delete my account completely and permanently, and then come back with a brand new account a few months later. It irritates my friends but I love it.

Why? I've turned my account off before in attempt to walk away... Curious why you would set out to do that as an policy. Why not just turn notifications off and share little to avoid cacheing of data?

Aren't they preserving your deleted data? They could link your new accounts with your old data internally

#7Delete timeline for me:
- Delete account
- 1st week, open facebook tab close facebook tab.
- 2nd week, visit facebook once a day by accident don't login
- 3rd week, visit facebook once a week, don't login
- 4th week, stop visiting altogether
It's been about 6 months now without an account and my wife and I are really happy about no longer have it. Try it!

#8"Addiction: (noun) Addiction is a brain disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli, despite adverse consequences."
I would get my family off of Facebook because they cannot stop using it even though it makes them feel bad after being on it. That's reason enough for me.

It's been since 2009 since I deleted my Facebook account, and my timeline was roughly like yours for weeks 1-4. Then:
- 2nd year, wonder if I should get back on to 'stay in touch.'
- 3rd-5th year, never think about it
- 6th year, wonder if I should get on Facebook so my family can see pictures of my kids. But, my wife does Instagram.
- 8th year, smug comment on HN to show how long I've been off Facebook :).
