One of them was me. I only used facebook for marketplace. Went to renew my listings one day and it asked me for
ageID verification to relist a Pink Floyd boxed set. I then instantly deleted my account.20 million out of how many? Fuck Zuck and his cohorts.
Roughly 3 000 000 000 monthly users. Fuck Zuck, but there’s a still long way to go. So do your part.
how many of those are not used accounts, and bots to appear like anyone actually uses trash
Unknown, those are just public numbers and it doesn’t differentiate between bots or people or alts.
I use FB marketplace a lot, and that shit is plagued with a constant flood of bots. It’s gotta be a significant percentage of their userbase at this point.
when I used to use instagram, I had like 5 accounts, so yea, I should probably check again ig I forgo to delete any of the accounts, They shove down the delete button somewhere deep its so hard to find too.
I always said this about Twitter before I left when Idiot Musk took over.
I had like 12+ accounts. Hell, I still occasionally come across something and like “ok, I forgot I registered that funny Twitter handle.”
I call bullshit on those numbers.
And if they are true, I bet it is not a lot of people in western countries. Maybe Southeast Asia and Africa, where they have convinced people that Facebook is the Internet. But most westerners have stopped that shit, and I imagine those are the more valuable numbers for advertisers. So of course they will lie to inflate their numbers to scam advertisers.
Lemmy moment
Thanks for this! I’ll do my best.
Let’s get those numbers up! 😁
I have Facebook because it’s the only way to reach some family, but I rarely visit. Thanks for reminding me to uninstall the app.
Delete the account. If they reach out another way, they matter. If not, you won’t miss them. That’s how I saw it, at least.
at the end of the day … they will call or text message.
definitely get rid of the app! The account is one thing if you log in from a desktop terminal, but the app is where the real money comes for them IIRC.
This, and in the web browser (I hope you use Firefox :) ) use Facebook Container , so that Facebook can access only its sandbox.
Text them, delete the account

Good.
