mass-message them your contact info, and in a couple of weeks follow instructions to delete (not disable) your account. wait those weeks, because when your click to delete account all your shit vanishes off the internet including other people's wall posts and PMs, and so your contact info messages will also vanish. takes like 30 days before it fully deletes, so make sure you delete cookies so you dont sign in by accident. i ditched them as well. facebook is garbage and if you're really ditching it too, i applaud your decision 👆

Pfft, just do what I do. Only use facebook to send happy birthday wishes. I probably read/see about 1-2 posts a month.But in the chance you need to contact someone you have no other means to, it's there.
you are mark zuckerberg's butt-slave. a product to be mined for personal info by literally any company who wants to have their way with your anus.

I may never be able to talk to some of my family members again. I have no way to contact them but through Facebook connection.
It's a sad loss. But I got little value from most Facebook posts.
It's the same for you, most likely.
Free up your time. Read the news when you poop.
This seems rather extreme, why not just use FB sparingly?

I'm def doing it, that's why I am asking the best way forward and doing it the proper way. I have already downloaded all my pictures.
Im just nervous about hitting the delete button.
Also a lot of things have been made easier with the "fb sign in" but now that Google / Amazon has that function its easier
I like the idea of sending everyone my contact info, but I doubt I will even be in contact with many of them.
FB is really a joke

Sweet.The amount of personal info Facebook can get from me is very limited and is public info anyways. eg My name.
it doesn't matter. you are product #11445007. you don't have to sign in.
your wall posts and private messages are also their products to sell as they please

Sweet.
As noted, I don't post anymore (for some time now) other than to say "happy birthday!". No pictures of myself or family, no social comments, no political comments, no pictures of what I purchased or ate or how I'm feeling about the weather. So if they want to mine me for "happy birthday" comments, they can.
