Or if they allow it, just 0
I just set mine to the beginning of time: Jan 01, 1970.

Thankfully I haven’t had to use any Meta products for a while now, and as far as Alphabet is considered I’ll turn 126 years old on 01/01/2026 and live where my country’s parliament building is. Because fuck them, that’s why.

I see ISO 8601, I upvote. Simple as.
I can’t even access any Fakebook crap, because I have blocked any Zuckerbot service since a long time. It don’t exist anymore for me in the web.
I deleted Facebook 12 years ago. Just join me on the fediverse like Mbin or Mastodon.
Do you do much buying and selling of used goods?
In my area, Facebook Marketplace is unparalleled, alternatives such as Craigslist don’t come close.
The Netherlands has marktplaats app for this. Our local app in our country. No fb needed.
Mastodon is pretty awful still. Microblogging in general is awful but Mastodon has some particularly (in my opinion) awful fundamental design decisions. I don’t want to hate on them, so I won’t discuss what those things are. I appreciate that it exists and hope it does see more adoption but it’s just not for me, and I don’t know that it ever will be.
Add to that that I’ve never spoken to a human IRL that even knows what it is, and it’s not because I don’t ask. And that makes social media pretty unsocial.
Facebook has a ridiculous number of things you can do with a single account. On fedi those things all require different accounts and require people to follow all those different accounts. Bonfire looks like it may be a potential solution for that in the future.
Not saying that Facebook is great, at all, but that fedi isn’t really a suitable alternative.
At the end of the day people obviously just don’t care enough about any of these problems and have no self-respect and I’ve just pretty much sequestered myself from society entirely.
Try my project Mbin.
This is not my being snarky, but I bet you didn’t. I bet you “deleted it” and Facebook will happily reactivate it for you any time they want
So Zuck can boast about “hAvInG 3 bIllIoN uSeRs”
true, you can’t trust them… so who knows.
Oh, goody! Maybe they’ll send me a present! Can I send them my address, too, so they know where to mail it? Meta is so nice!
I went as far as scanning my passport for these @ssholes and they still banned me 😂 to this day I have no clue why
on that note I finally deleted facebook. Goodbye meta!
Better late than never!

Because it is not a post about Facebook but about the VR Headset Quest 2 and/or 3.
Sadly, the Meta Quest is kind of the best deal in the PC VR world.
It is about Facebook. Facebook makes the Meta Quest. It’s a Facebook product. Just like Threads, Instagram, and WhatsApp are. And those Meta glasses that are ugly AF.
Officially it is Meta. Facebook is owned by Meta but the Quest headset is not a Facebook product. I get it, it’s easier to say Facebook for everything owned by Zuk, like saying Google for Youtube instead of Alphabet.
But it is not precise nor true and plenty of comments here are saying “just leave Facebook” while OP did not post about Facebook nor having a social media account there.
And TBH, I think all VR headset are kinda ugly, it’s either big rectangle brick on your head or big round brick on your head.
I think it’s pretty heavily implied that people are talking about a given tech giant’s entire ecosystem when they say de-google, delete Facebook, Fuck Nestle- I mean, fuck Apple, etc. lol
It’s all Facebook. Meta is a company made by Facebook, but it’s all Facebook, or it’s all Meta — same thing.
It might not have Facebook branding, but it’s a Facebook product, or a Meta product. Again, same thing.
I believe they were talking about meta’s literal smart glasses being ugly, not their VR headsets. They look really silly, the frame is way too thick.
I actually think the Quests are some of the better looking headsets.

People who bought this hardware are dumb fucks.
There really weren’t any comparable standalone alternatives at the time. I just wanted to play some Beatsaber back then.
Paraphrasing the guy who owns the company.
Not that he wasn’t entirely correct.
Even if rooted and used without account via PrivateQuest?
