If 3 other people pledge with me, I’ll delete my Facebook account right now. I’ve already exported all my data.

I left their whole enterprise, I was just sick of them from top to bottom.

I still use twitter, but I keep my distance, and it’s hardly a social platform.

No takers so far after 6 hours. Expected to see at least one person.

I'm definitely not one of them. I use it for networking. Pretty much everyone in the board game industry is on Facebook at the moment (publishers, designers, developers, artists, media, etc), to get feedback from each other, coordinate events, and reach out to fans and potential customers.

I commented pretty far down a long thread. I didn’t expect much. Like you, the network is what I’m afraid of losing.
I did it 3 months ago. Its really made my life so much better. No more worrying about not being good enough as my peers who live far away in a different country. No more dealing with ads.

However, I cheated somewhat and switched to twitter and continued to stay on Instagram (for sharing photos) and Whatsapp (talk to social circle).

Just do it, you don't need other people to affirm you
I know I don’t need it, it’s about impact.
