I deleted my Facebook account. Feels weird. I had no family members on Facebook anyway believe it or not so that wasn't holding me back, but there were several niche groups on there I still had been participating in; I can't seem to find equivalents for them on the Fediverse or elsewhere. I might try to change that myself in the near-ish future.
At this point the only centralized social media I still use is YouTube, Twitch, and Discord.

Staborul din #Iași, instanța de judecată a romilor de aici, dat peste cap de #Facebook și #TikTok. ”În ultimul timp fetele au umblat oleacă, #Facebook-ul ăsta și #TikTok-ul omoară tot, ferească ☦️#Dumnezeu!”.

Meta's decision to end its U.S. fact-checking programs labeling viral, misleading content ahead of Donald Trump's presidential inauguration could encourage hate speech online and fuel violence offline, experts have said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/01/20/meta-fact-checkers-us-explainer/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #meta #socialmedia #misinformation #markzuckerberg #us #donaldtrump #facebook #instagram #threads #whatsapp

Me shading my Gen X and Boomer friends.
I have not logged in for so damn long that #Facebook made me jump hoops to log in. I have to fish my photos from the platform tho, so I can't disconnect it yet lol

This shit with #Tiktok and #facebook and all the other social media sites kissing the ring is EXACTLY why #Mastodon is so fucking important. "Bu-bu-bu how can I sell my crayon drawings to the 7 people who buy them?" IDK and I don't care. The lives of #marginalized people outweigh your desire to sell funny pictures. Fuck centralized #socialmedia.

As a result of #meta essentially allowing free #lgbt hatred with new rules, I am no longer on #Instagram or #Facebook.
You can find my #Pixelfed on my linktree in my bio!

#facebook grinds everything into mediocrity, let it become a nazi slop pit and force everyone to delete their accounts in order to live with themselves, it could only be this way, good fucking riddance,

I gave my Facebook connections 2-3 months notice that I was leaving. All of my closest friends locked down other means to keep in touch and I consider myself extremely lucky and I'm very grateful for them. ☺️
What made me laugh though were the comments from some historical friends I knew for ages but were probably really ready to see me go. 🤣
Like: "I'll miss you."
Dearie, if you were going to miss me at all then you'd give me your email address at the very least. 😅 (I didn't tell them that of course. But it's only logic, isn't it?)
Another precious one:
"I want to stay in touch but I don't have a (popular alternative platform) account!"
I asked them: "Is it difficult to get one?"
They didn't reply. 🤣
Another one:
"Thank you for the photos."
I knew that person for years, laughed and cried watching her precious children grow up, shared nothing but love and encouragement, but it's not enough to wanna enter an address & password into the Make Account fields of a different platform. Got it.
Probably the most amazing one: "I didn't want you to think that I thought less of you and didn't give you my contact info, but I don't plan on making another account. Take good care."
Um...does not compute, sorry! 😅
Maybe I've lived in Asian societies too long. Out here, actions speak much louder than words. If you want to let someone go, you just leave. You don't make excuses about why you think someone isn't worth your time or trouble. 😅 You don't have to go through all that weird effort! Really! If you don't want the relationship to continue, a simple "Take care" is enough. "Thanks" is enough. "Goodbye" is enough.
Life is so much easier without weird excuses and explanations.
In 2016, Facebook suddenly kicked me offline with zero explanation. I was unable to open it, or make another account for another 2 years. I had to circumvent the usual method to make it happen. During that time, only 2 people "missed" me enough to email me. And I keep hearing stories like this from others. When friendships just become a series of transactions and reactions, there apparently isn't much motivation to hang on, I get it.
It's an increasingly lonely world we're creating, isn't it, if we remain locked in this trap of reactions & comparisons.
I'm looking forward to getting to know my close friends even better now, and to make new ones, centered around solid, reciprocated communication.
The horizon glows brighter now.

Recuperar la #calidad de las #emociones reales, de personas reales y en situaciones reales es la tarea principal de todas las redes sociales alternativas (como nuestra querida #Mastodon).
Estamos acostumbrados al bombardeo permanente de un gran número de #contenido que solo busca generar #interacciones sin tener en cuenta las emociones reales del ser humano que está al otro lado de la pantalla.
Estamos hechos zombies de tanto #algoritmo. Ya no somos capaces de imaginar un estilo de vida distinto que el de deslizar el dedo sobre la pantalla para cambiar de asunto.
Volver a los #principios (la idea original de red social como espacio de #comunicaciónsocial de masas) considero que está siendo lo mejor.
Poco a poco nos vamos desconectando del acelerado mundo de #Facebook, #Instagram, #Twitter o cualquier otra para empezar a vivir las cosas a nuestro propio ritmo y en nuestros propios términos.
¡Es la revolución digital en marcha!
