Made a thread about what other social media Lemmings use, and I was shocked by the amount of Meta platforms in the replies. (fedia.io)

I don't actively use it, but I don't see the point in deleting my account? My HOA is only on a Facebook group, so it's the only place I can go to check for updates on some stuff (typically trash day getting moved, neighborhood pool stuff, etc). That's the only use. My understanding is that Facebook tracks me even without an account so doesn't really seem like I'm gaining anything other than good feelings by deleting my account.

It's not like I've gone out of my way to delete my old Myspace or xanga accounts either, I just stop using them.

Yeah, there's more than a handful of things that are only on Facebook that I'm not going to give the effort of trying to get people to move to something else. Even the kids school pages.

Facebook has a monopoly in many areas and they know it.
