For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.
I’ve never had a Facebook account or any other social media. I know they keep shadow profiles, but I’ve never given permission. I never had any interest and frankly still don’t....
It sounds like Facebook tracks non-registered users as well, so everything you’re saying remains true for everyone who doesn’t have a pretty strong security posture.
If OP isn’t blocking third party cookies, FB scripts, and piholing unwanted requests, they might as well join the platform and get the tenuous benefits it provides.
Zero chill factor. Every post has to have a dissertation under it explaining how its problematic. Reddit/Twitter reposts that make you nod your head in agreement get mindlessly upvoted. Even communities that should be more off-color get relegated to the most normie shit possible. Lemmy feels homogenous as fuck. /rant
I’d like to believe that’s because we’ve defederated from the edgelord/shitposting instances, but they probably never existed. It would be kind of cool if there was a mirror Fediverse that was filled with conservative, pro-crypto, religious, Windows users.
Tbf Bill Murray’s character had infinite iterations. Like, there are probably a bunch where he was just lying in bed, a few where he murdered the entire town, a few where he rolled around in his own feces.
It’s shameful that Canadians don’t pay more attention to the news. I’m pretty sure our collective knowledge of current events halved when Facebook stopped carrying news.
I bet the average Canadian couldn’t even find the Neutral Zone on a map.
I am in the process of moving out some contacts from Google Contacts, specifically those that I do not have a Gmail address. It's a way for me to give these people a tiny bit more privacy, as I'm doing a cleanup of my contact list. My concern is that Google will still keep their data even after I delete it from my end. Is it so?...
We have no visibility into Google’s internal processes. The developers that work on the product would probably know, but the rest of us can only guess.

Does Google still hold contact data after deleting from Google Contacts?
