Not enough.
Facebook will announce some new feature, spin up a few million more bots, and have a glowing report for the investors next month.
I can’t wait to see Facebook to go away.
One of side hustle I do is tech support for senior people in my community. And amount of time I have to deal with stuff related to Facebook is staggering.
So many of seniors have multiple accounts because they don’t understand how it work and just hit whatever buttons they see pop up until they get back into Facebook feed. So it’s not user friendly and even worse, UI get changed constantly and I have to Google around across multiple threads different forums, etc to find answers. And so many more issues, I couldn’t list them all.
It’s probably because Israel was getting bombed last month and their bots were temporarily unavailable.
That’s awesome. Facebook is a freaking plague.
Fuck Meta
So, less bots?
That’s my guess also. Probably some botnet went offline 6 or 12 or 36 months ago and the new accounts timed out.
20 million actual users or 20 million ai bots.
I’d assume the bot count is increasing, not decreasing.
I never got it anyway, right from the beginning. Why would I want to tell everybody my business, and why would I want to know everybody else’s business?
I opened an account in my name at the beginning, so I could lock it down, but I never did anything with it. No profile info, posts, nothing. I have to do some Instagram for my business, but it’s very inconsistent. Now and then I get a good photo, and I’ll think to post it, but rarely.
This fucking site, I swear… I want to delete my account. But my account is blocked. I never used Facebook on another device than my PC, never on mobile. And to unlock my account to delete it, I have to… log in from another device. No other way. I tried everything, and the best is, their fucking customer centre is a useless chatbot. I hate this.
I deleted my account and it was reactivated 3 years later because they didn’t want to show less users to shareholders
wonder if you told them you moved to the EU and they needed to comply with GDPR
I thought about that, but tell who ? There is only a PO Box, so I’ll have to send a letter, no mail, and only a broken chatbot in the support…

Thank you ! I’ll try the hr email, that’s a good idea. If it doesn’t pan out I’ll try a letter. It’s so crazy how hidden and complex they make this process. It’s clearly on purpose and evil, but nobody in the EU politics cares.
Wouldn’t be amazing that some kind of hacker group would delete accounts on request, as long as these accounts aren’t actively used?
Wow hackerman should uhhh hack Facebook that’d be awesome they should do all these good things!
Let me guess. You think this is impossible.
Few things are impossible, but it’d definitely be a lot harder than you are imagining.
No, I don’t think so. Dreaming is free, though.
I’m in the same boat. I even tried emailing them my license. There is nothing I can do to delete my account from highschool.
because fake users drive advertising revenue.
That’s it. Follow the money. It’s ALL that matters.
Do you really not have access to another internet device? A friend or parent’s phone with a private browser window?
It must be a device I used to log in my Facebook account in the past 🙃… Which I never used in another device. It’s crazy
Just start posting a bunch of political content they don’t agree with to get your account deleted.
I would like to but my account is locked. Only because I’ve changed my email to use an alias from a Linux device, I think it triggered a bunch of security measures. What I find crazy is now I’m completely blocked and cannot have my account deleted. My name and picture is forever stuck on this cancer of a web site.
Good to see people may finally be waking up to the idea that these companies are trash.
It’s fun being part of that number.
I deleted my Facebook in 2013, before it was cool. 😛
I deleted mine in 2010, when Stan Marsh showed us how (s014e4). I think it was pretty cool by then already.
It was always cool to avoid facebook. Yes I AM a myspace loyalist who’s still pissed 20+ years later!
I’m also still pissed napster died!
Did you lawyer up and hit the gym?
Old people are dying
I’m so old I remember when Facebork was just for young people.
I’m so old I remember when Facebook didn’t exist :) Or Zuck, in fact.
Shit, I remember when Nixon resigned. I also remember thinking that Nixon was as bad as Republicans could ever get.
same. I keep thinking “it can’t get worse than this,” and republicans say: “Hold my beer.”
Oh my sweet summer child.
I was out after dark, riding bikes with my best friend in the street in front of his house. My friend’s mom came out and shouted at me to go home, and my friend to go inside. Then she shouted “That asshole, Ford, pardoned Nixon!” I had no idea what she was talking about, or why she was mad at us.
Harley Davidson effect.
