Rather: Now would be a good time for Facebook users to resign. Zuck is doing exactly the same things when he started Facebook. It’s the users; The users that need to leave the platform. Does anyone really believe that a FB without Zuckerberg will all of a sudden be great for people? Reporters like these should inform users better about how their data is being used and how they can change things for themselves by simply leaving the platform. That’s 1. more practical and 2. the only actual solution to the problem.

I've been wanting to delete my FB account for years. Stupid me has it connected to a bunch of other services though by using single sign on feautures... Most used of those services is Spotify and they still don't offer a way to disconnect Facebook from the account.
You can use some other streaming service if you really want to ditch fb. And let spotify know why when you cancel.
Spotify used to be exclusively Facebook login, but introduced email login a long time ago. When that happened, I immediately disconnected my Facebook from Spotify.
Spotify should work absolutely fine when FB is deactivated, just send a 'Forgot Password' email to the email you used to sign up for Facebook.
Wow never knew, I had looked into it a year ago and they only said that you could cancel the current FB shared account and register a new one based on e-mail account.

However; that would make me lose all playlists, stored music and I'd have to move my subscription around. Too much hassle at the time.

Going to try the trick you just posted.
