DELETE YOUR #META ACCOUNTS
@stux I don't think deleting the accounts does anything except set "deleted" to "true".
I had a Facebook account in 2005 - for a week. I deleted it.
Ten years later I had to create another to test a Facebook extension. FB resurrected my original account. All my posts were still there.

Yeah, that's pretty typical. We usually call it a soft-delete. We don't always reveal to the user it's just a flag on an account.
It's pretty lousy.

My elderly mother (89) was not happy i deleted WA, as i am the only one in the family to do so. She has to use Signal just for me. At least she does. -

@stux I deleted mine a few months ago. Unfortunately, I am stuck with WhatsApp for another year while my son is at school+clubs. After that, WhatsApp will be gone.

This was in an episode of "broken mirror" years ago.
An excellent dystopic series, recommended

@stux Itโs a very weird bubble these people live in, making them so out of touch with whatโs going on anywhere that it takes probably multiple teams dozens of meetings to present THIS to the world.

This is why I prefer to misdirect the algorithm by following and liking things I'm not actually interested in.

Once upon a happier time it was (theoretically) possible to delete tweets off Twatter. Odd (not) how this is nigh on impossible now. -

@stux I'm pretty sure that's a storyline from Max Headroom from the 1980s.

@stux I just imagine my long-terminated account being resurrected by a bot that is objectively more attractive and cooler than I was.
I bet they are living their best simulated life commenting unbalanced parentheses on the posts of bots pretending to be emacs users.

It starts with text, continues with voice cloning, and continues with cloning facial likeness. This is my theory on how they will normalize deep fakes. But hey, if there is money to be made, it will be idiotic not to do it, right? Finally, re-introduce Metaverse for the dead, now powered by AI.
This will be a mockery on grieving people. Put everyone on an eternal subscriptions to keep the avatars of deceased running. They won't be able to stop paying, because that would feel like murder.
This reminds me of the movie called Upload, which has a positive take on grief-tech.
