I wanted to buy something second-hand. Unfortunately, Facebook Marketplace is the shit where I live. So I thought I could quickly register, contact the seller, and delete my account afterwards.

However, I refuse to participate in this insanity. Video selfie my ass, Facebook.

    This is the reason i haven’t delete my facebook, my pre-massively-enshittified account doesn’t need to go through any of this shit.

      I recently deleted it since my friends finally decided to move on from messenger to… Instagram.

      Progress is progress right? Anyway I’m not planning on ever using the marketplace so hopefully I will never need an account again.

          it’s progress in the way that it’s not on a dead platform anymore and I need one less social media account

            I cant comment on dead platform, but did you register on instagram for this reason, or was that an old account? in the former case you don’t have one less accounts. but then one could also argue whether deleting one meta service account and registering another makes a difference

      It’s funny because I created an IG a year or so ago and I don’t recall it asking these questions.

      Edit: don’t ask me questions that require logging in as I don’t know my password

        Ig and fb is kinda separated iirc, even when it all fall under Meta. So does Thread.
