Quit Facebook

 I quit Facebook, now owned by Meta.

I stopped playing Farm Town several times. I am playing again, halfheartedly. Do not need to play via Facebook. SlashKey created a direct link to the game, some time ago.

I have been posting that I was leaving Facebook for months now. I do not like Meta posting on my Feed "People You May Know." 

No, I do not know my distant cousins' best friend's father-in-law. No I do not know my brother's co-workers. And so on.

I do not like Meta showing me "Groups You Might Like." Everyday I would click the three vertical dots and say "Don't show me this again." Since I would check Facebook several times a day, several times a day I clicked: DO NOT SHOW ME THIS AGAIN.

I started removing every known MAGA from my friend's list shortly after November 6th. I kept a few, hoping to irritate them with anti-their dear leader. No, we can not be friends. You voted for a felon, sex offender, liar, crook, traitor rather than the educated, decent, prosecutor. 

I intended to stay on Facebook until Dec. 31, 2024. Did not want to read new Terms of Service starting on Jan. first. Something went wrong; middle of the night insomnia; computer and Google screen wide and flat looking. Hurt my eyes. Cut to chase ~ had a hissy fit, removed all my FB friends, deleted my account without a word. 

Oops. I could have deactivated, so I could go back to clean it up or post a better goodbye. Want to keep in touch? E-mail or snail mail me your address via messenger. C'est la vie.
