Re: How to delete Facebook and not lose your friends and photos
#52I just have a single strike policy for most of my friends. I unfollow anyone as soon as they post something I don't want to see. I don't tell them, obviously. It works quite well. Scrolled down just now and saw one post of someone running a 10k, a complaint about not having a holiday on Monday (haha), an ad from Triplebyte, a photo of the SpaceX rocket launch visible from the city, pictures from Yosemite, a birthday,…
Wow, I’m getting some odd vibes off of you. Would hate to be your friend.

Perhaps he means 'FB friends' (he did say /most/ friends). In my FB friends list, the vast majority are more like acquaintances and when they post mostly things I don't care about I unfollow them.

If I could keep Messenger + Events and get rid of the rest, I'd do so immediately.

#57When I downloaded my Facebook data few years ago, my notes were missing. I had to reactivate my account, save them as HTML pages, and queue account for deletion again. One should not think of profiles on these sites as reliable archive of ones data. There is no alternative to local backup for this. With deletion one loses so many little memorable things, for example comments.

#58"Anything from Upworthy" Good for a laugh, but it's pretty easy to get rid of that stuff in particular. Anytime anyone reshares something, I go to the 3-dot menu and select "Hide all from xxxxx". It makes most of the crap go away... except for the one "friend" who somehow manages to reshare everything under the sun. Somehow that guy keeps finding new sources for me to "Hide all" from. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It is by no means a so…
That reminds me of the old joke that Facebook helps you deal with the problems you wouldn‘t have without it...
Just like beer.

I eat great meals and don’t share. I b…
I wrote up my own quitting FB approach here https://gaius.tech/2017/12/29/less-facebook-more-faces-and-b...
I still use Insta and WhatsApp tho’ so I am not entirely free but FB is the biggest time sink for sure.

#60"GOOD MORNING!
Want to see someone getting killed by police and watch your friends quickly get baited by Russians to form to actual American protests related to their preconceived notions?
No? Well its already playing enjoy! but be careful where you tap because IF YOU LIKE ANYTHING you'll lose half of your friends in real life but thats okay because we were only going to show you more of this exact thing regardless"
