Ooh, cool. I was just idly wondering today whether I could easily delete all my posts from high school (full of angst about calculus and bus rides). If Facebook actually wants people to be using their service in twenty years, they should really build timeline cleansing in.
I "deactivated" my Facebook account long ago. I'd like to delete it, but that apparently involves sacrificing some small animal and studying the entrails for clues. I deleted by Google+ account(s) recently, as well. I have several Twitter accounts with no tweets. I'm thinking of sanitizing my LinkedIn account soon. It's not that I'm anti-social (well, maybe); I am just one of those elder geeks who once dreamt of trul…

I deleted my Twitter account, LinkedIn, and Google+ a couple of years ago. I also Googled myself and slowly removed myself from every other service I haven't used in years. Facebook was the only one I kept as I get a lot of value from it. The only server that has crawled back into my life is Google+, and only for one reason - Android. It's the easiest way to backup all my photos. Not to mention the fact I also use Yo…
> a G+ account was forced on me again
To be clear, a G+ account is a Google account. It ties together all Google properties. Just seems bizarre to use these and consider G+ as being forced on you - it is just your Google account. One doesn't need to actually use the social features provided by one's Google account.

Deleting your Facebook is difficult? I believe mine is hard deleted (not deactivated), and it was the same workflow as deactivating it, if I remember correctly. I just clicked "delete" instead of "deactivate" or whatever. Facebook leaves the account deactivated for a week so you can ponder on your choice, but if you don't do anything, it was my understanding that the account gets deleted.

Are you aware of Diaspora ? It's both distributed and open source.
Yes, but it doesn't solve everything and it's not available to everyone.
And there are numerous nodes you can create an account on -- no need to be self-hosting. Though with FreedomBox, that would actually be pretty tenable.
