Throw away for obvs reasons. Lately I've started hating using facebook. I get spam on my feeds. I get spam on my notifications. I don't really talk to friends there. I only contact friends on rare occasions when an opportunity comes by.

I do use messenger to talk to people close to me. Most of the time I use other platforms to talk to teams, groups of friends, etc.

If I start getting spam on my inbox I'm joining a new platform and deleting my facebook account. Most of the content I get there is garbage. The only reason I haven't left yet is because of the Messenger app.

Not super obvious to me, unless you work at Facebook. Is it really that much of a social taboo to delete your Facebook account?

I've been refusing to sign up for about 11 years now and I'm pretty OK with the social consequences.
