Curious as to how many lemmings are still using Meta platforms such as Facebook or Instagram?

    There’s a boardgame I would like to get the occasionally shows up on marketplace. Once I get it, it’s account deletion time.

    I think I’m too young for Facebook, and I deleted my Instagram account about a month ago. I was primarily using it to socialize with friends, but decided that wasn’t worth the privacy cost.

    No. I found two scripts on github that unfriended everyone and deleted all my data ~two years ago.

    I deleted my personal FB around a decade ago and Instagram few years ago but I joined back in because I needed pages for my business. I wouldn’t exactly still say that I use them. I make one or two picture posts of my work a month and then leave.

    Yes, for marketplace and some flea market groups. Most of my friends have moved on, some sadly to WhatsApp, which I refuse to install.

    My family is all on messenger, and so it’s either gotta be me or my husband using it or else we won’t know any of the family plans (or daily discussions which is my main source of socialization.) Same goes for my friend group. I’d be very lonely without it, so that ends up a lot more important than my moral objections to meta.

    Wish I didn’t have to but in my country pretty much everyone still uses it. So if I want to keep in touch with people that I know irl or if I want to keep an eye open for gigs to go watch or whatever events that I might want to go to, I have to keep it around.

    Still have an account, but haven’t been of FB for over 2 years. Once I did some stats and found that only something like 4% of top 100 posts were updates from friends; rest was ads or suggested videos. So, I stopped checking it out and gradually forgot about it, and I found I wasn’t missing out on anything.

    I think I used Facebook from about 2006 to 20… 2016? I dunno. It was never good. Never used Instagram. I don’t want to see other people’s selfies if I don’t know them

    I quit circa 2012 after a friend posted a photo of us and fb suggested they tag me.

    I’ve never used any of the others.
