Here's my step by step guide for how (and why) to leave Facebook without actually deleting your account. I did this in June and haven't looked back. #DeleteFacebook https://aaronparecki.com/2020/06/14/14/how-to-leave-facebook

  @aaronpk @aaronpk To be honest I never thought about others to create an account on FB with my name.
  Then again, I simply do not care. I told people I will not return and only a few responded, even when I was very active. They now try to reach me using my wifes account even if they know where to reach me using e-mail, xmmp, federated accounts....
  That generation is simply not making an effort. One might wonder if that is really needed.

  Don’t forget Trusted Friends, so your work won’t go for naught if something happens to you.

  Yeah I'd say Discord servers and Discourse forums are the two things that have replaced Facebook groups for me.

  I was just wondering on alternatives to the facebook groups and the best I could think of was Discord server

  Thank you, this is a great guide and while I already keep my Facebook interactions to a minimum there are some settings that I need to go through and validate. https://t.co/AXpRZnjvdv

  I completely quit Facebook on New Year’s Eve last year. If you’ve considered doing something similar, but don’t want to delete your account, @aaronpk has a guide for you:

  It's sad that we need guides for this but we do and this one is a great one. Maybe I will switch from my strategy of enabling and disabling my profile every few weeks
