I think it’s a lot easier to be anonymous if you keep them, but never use them for anything real. I quit using Facebook two years ago, but I didn’t stop posting the occasional picture of some event I attended.

I simply uninstalled all their apps and deleted anything that I had ever posted which wasn’t completely irrelevant. I also deleted almost every picture of myself and prohibited people from ever tagging me.

This way I look like a normal boring guy who likes board games if you glance over my profile, but you couldn’t actually get anything to use against me.

It’s very Orwellian I guess, but it means I never have to explain why I’m not on social media.
