I have only suspended my account, there is an option to delete it but I don’t think I’ll do that.

I find the platform invasive these days. Initially it was fun and photos and likes but now it’s become this machine which tracks your every move, pushes alerts and adv ...[text shortened]... than Facebook and Instagram just seems like a pointless alternative to Facebook.
I’m free!!

I've never had a Facebook account.
The inclination just wasn't there.
Same for Twitter.

The Irish border will derail the entire thing, there's a reason why there hasn't been a government in N.I. in almost a year... idiot politicians couldn't agree on what to have for christmas dinner never mind anything as serious as possible trade agreements, border arrangements and general logistics.

I cannot imagine if I had a facebook account and people here knew my real name what I would end up receiving on facebook....LOL.... My bet is it would not be good!!!

You get 14 days to change your mind, and if you log back in again in that time, it reactivates.
Otherwise, the deletion goes ahead. You do get an option to back up all your posts to a downloadable zip file too, if I remember correctly..
