To join Facebook these days, one must record a video selfie
I wanted to buy something second-hand. Unfortunately, Facebook Marketplace is the shit where I live. So I thought I could quickly register, contact the seller, and delete my account afterwards.
However, I refuse to participate in this insanity. Video selfie my ass, Facebook.
You're viewing a single thread.
This is the reason i haven't delete my facebook, my pre-massively-enshittified account doesn't need to go through any of this shit.
Yeah, I regret deleting my old account now. I never used it except for marketplace. Now I’m realizing Craigslist is pretty much dead in comparison
I don’t regret deleting mine. I don’t need any of that shit, fuck ’em.
I made an account over decade ago, never really used it even back then because I was suspicious even then. Then i tried logging in years after that and they demanded passport or some other identification to even let me log in.
So i sent them a picture i drew myself, i would post it here but i dont think i have the file anymore. It was basically like a mockup passport with picture of a clown and a stamp with picture of middle finger. I hoped they would just ban my account or something since that is about best I can hope. They would never abide by gdpr request and even if they say they did there is no way to know if they actually did.
I'm in the same boat. I have leftover PC parts to offload and Craigslist is shit and the Nextdoor app doesn't have as much reach from what I can see.
Fediverse alternative to Facebook's Marketplace
I recently deleted it since my friends finally decided to move on from messenger to... Instagram.
Progress is progress right? Anyway I'm not planning on ever using the marketplace so hopefully I will never need an account again.
that's not progress, it is trend. in zero ways it is better.
it's progress in the way that it's not on a dead platform anymore and I need one less social media account
I cant comment on dead platform, but did you register on instagram for this reason, or was that an old account? in the former case you don't have one less accounts. but then one could also argue whether deleting one meta service account and registering another makes a difference
no I already had Instagram
It’s funny because I created an IG a year or so ago and I don’t recall it asking these questions.
Edit: don’t ask me questions that require logging in as I don’t know my password
Ig and fb is kinda separated iirc, even when it all fall under Meta. So does Thread.
