The constant restrictions and bans over the most petty things, plus bombardment of adverts, had enough.

Hope I can adapt without it. Anyone else done the same?

I haven’t yet but rarely use it. Lots of people are abandoning ship though which is why the share price has tanked recently

I did about a year ago, but got it back for the little business I'm about to embark on.

Simply put, it's the powers at the top that are trying to control what we see for their own manipulation of the collective.

It's a joke I know, but it is what it is. The powers always been with the people. It's just we've given all our power over to a few tyrannical psychopaths.

You can definitely live you're life without it bud. Just a few adjustments here and there, and you're okay.

It was quite straight forward, but annoyingly not instant, like a 30 day window and then the process starts. Lets hope I dont give in haha

Yes got rid of Facebook, instagram, snapchat and WhatsApp. years ago.

When I learned that they make billions from our data and have never offered a penny to its users I left.

I just read that one million people a day (could have been week) are leaving Facebook.

What did you mainly do on there?

I rarely use it now. I look at family photos and rarely make a comment on anything.

So, I probably would only miss seeing babies grow up and people on nights out.

Yes I did about 2 years ago and to be honest I never missed it. I'm contemplating getting rid of Insta too as the adverts are doing my nut in on there.

Once you have deleted Facebook, do not return to see if your account is deleted as I think that would reactivate your account.

I also requested all of my information and photos be sent to me, which they did the same day.

I’d avoid using it for business if I were you. I have for 7 years, I’ve run sponsored ads totalling £100+ per month every month.

About 3 months ago my account was hacked and they tried to run ads from my account and me to pay for it, Facebook warned me about a possible breach and I confirmed straight away that it was a scam.

They placed a restriction on my account so I couldn’t run ads anymore, I’ve used up every Avenue to contact them to reinstate the account and not a single response.

Upshot is 3 months on still restricted.

Don’t put your business in the hands of Facebook whatever you do.

Every other post is an advert or a page suggestion. I don't know where they get their data from to suggest some of the pages though.

Ditched Facebook about 5 years ago, it’s a mess. Deleted Twitter too, and stopped posting on Instagram.

Life without social media is way better. Back to living and moving in silence again!

Tell you what though, I genuinely struggled for about a year when I deleted Twitter. It takes a while to get used to not being able to blurt out your opinion on the days events. Looking back I now see how draining and pointless that was.

I stopped using it years ago. There was constantly videos being uploaded where you can tell it was fake and scripted. Those really annoyed me for some unknown reason. I don't miss it at all. I use IG but very rarely. Only to share pictures now and then as have family abroad.

Their targeting is based on everything you do on the platform - like a post, click a link, follow a page, leave a comment, all tracked! Sometimes you’ll be targeted because of your friends too.

Plus any sites you visit off Facebook UNLESS you’re an iPhone user and haven’t opted IN to app tracking. They’ll still have access to everything you do on FB but not on other apps/sites.

Yes there is life after and away from facebook...I got a virus on my phone about 4 years ago ...I couldn't access my fbook account ...it wouldn't even let me set up another fb account...so I thought stuff it ...and realised very quickly I found i had more time to do stuff I wanted to do instead of scrolling through mindnumbing shite what others are doing with their lives...

Yes i see the positives of fbook for promoting your own business etc but I really don't give fbook a thought and i have my own business too..

Old style word of mouth and recommendations still seems to work for me.

I am in the process of deleting mine. I have thousands of photos and have been downloading them when I get the chance. When you were deleting your account was there an option to request your info be sent to you or did you have this request separately?

Didn’t like the thought of people knowing my business that is why I resisted. But I did meet some interesting and fit people through it too. I kind of like that I am going back more anonymous like the old days.

FB seem to think they have the right to use their users data as they wish, apple don't agree thank god, and they are adding more tools to iOS to further prevent data harvesting, which is good to know.

But wen u ask were they been for so long

They say they met someone

Not far

Deleted Facebook three years ago. I couldn’t see what it was for other than to strip mine me for data and throw adverts at me. Deleted Twitter as that’s just a toxic cess pool. Never bothered with Instagram.

Social media has generated the largest mental health crisis in human history.

I came of Facebook 3 years ago and I don’t miss it one little bit. I caught up with old friends when I joined and am still in contact with those I got on with and haven’t bothered with those who turned out to be bonkers conspiracy theorists or hold very right wing views

Missed it when I first came off, but I got over it

I use it way less these days. It used to be good to keep in touch with mates and family etc but now it’s so full of adverts, groups and false s*it, I hardly go on. I use it as a way of recording things I know I’d like to look back on. Like photos of holidays or milestones in our lives. For everything else though, it’s terrible.

Got rid years ago, never missed it. I followed a fair few hobby pages but they mostly have websites/found a different site anyway.

Just too many ads, people arguing and general drama.

Deleted mine about 6 years ago. I really don't miss looking at people's Nandos, getting random friend requests etc etc.

At one point I thought I knew my pal's new baby as well as they did after seeing about 40 pictures a day.

You will learn easily to live with out any social media......

My pet name for my brother in law and his wife is actually Tik and Tok........

I got rid of it a year ago. Too many self proclaimed political experts and epidemiologists for my liking. I got tired of watching life long friends tear each other apart. Laci followed shortly afterward. Yes we felt slightly disconnected initially, but our lives are full of other, more interesting things now.

"I did about a year ago, but got it back for the little business I'm about to embark on.

Simply put, it's the powers at the top that are trying to control what we see for their own manipulation of the collective.

It's a joke I know, but it is what it is. The powers always been with the people. It's just we've given all our power over to a few tyrannical psychopaths.

You can definitely live you're life without it bud. Just a few adjustments here and there, and you're okay.

Nope ........ The power is with Tik Tok. Leavers of Facebook are going to Tik Tok.
