Bramble Mountain Buzzard 127 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I just deleted my Facebook account. Was imbedded pretty deep. Here's the info. How do I permanently delete my account? Click in the top right of Facebook. Select Settings & Privacy, then click Settings. Click Your Facebook Information in the left column. Click Deactivation and Deletion. Choose Permanently Delete Account, then click Continue to Account Deletion. Once that is done, they give a 30 day period in case you change your mind. Link to post Share on other sites
Warden Callaway 5,003 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Thanks! I never liked FB. I got on it to communicate with family. Several have already dropped FB as have the few friends I had. The only reason I have to stay on it is that I have administrators rights on our gun club FB account so I can post our match events and such. Link to post Share on other sites

Rye Miles #13621 7,381 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 There's still SASS and other gun groups on FB, I'm also an adm. for The Pistoleros. I'm just following people I like and groups I'm interested in. I have a lot of friends and family on FB also. Good way to keep in touch with folks across the country.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 7,333 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 About MeWe, I'm FB friends with a SASS shooter who wrote that she'd signed up for MeWe with a photo of her at a SASS match (shooting her rifle) as her avatar. When I looked for her they'd blurred the avatar. When I selected her the avatar changed to a comment something like, Adult Content 18 +. Today, it is blurred. When you select it you see the photo. Sounds FBish to me. Link to post Share on other sites
bgavin 1,854 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 When I closed my personal and business Facebook accounts, they never asked why I was leaving. "Censorship" would have been my reason as well. However, FB did not ask, so I closed and deleted my accounts and walked away. In the business world: "The hardest customer to get... is the one you just lost." Link to post Share on other sites

bgavin 1,854 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 MeWe is in its infancy at the moment. I cancelled all my accounts at Facebook, picked up a MeWe account just for a try-out. There is a SASS guy over there trying to get a page started. Link to post Share on other sites

Sixgun Sheridan 4,641 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Unfortunately these left-leaning corporate monsters rule the western world now. It's a bit late to be creating and signing up for alternatives. Their only true market competitors are from China (Ali Express vs Amazon, Weibo vs Facebook) and I'm sure you can guess just how gun-friendly they are. Link to post Share on other sites

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 7,333 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 One big difference here and FB is that the Wire announced what they don't allow, such as no politics. FB censors politics they don't agree with. Link to post Share on other sites
bgavin 1,854 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Note to folks on MeWe: I had to do a password reset on my existing account. This wiped out all my contacts and all my group memberships. When I got logged in, my name had changed, said I was a member since March 2017. This account was still attached to my email. MeWe is having growing pains, so I wiped out my entire account and will start again. Anybody looking for me as of this writing... I ain't there... Also, I submitted a bug report. MeWe creates a user profile for each device you use to connect at the time. My bride has three: phone, tablet and computer. All are attached to her same email address. This is a bug. It makes it very difficult to make a contact request when you have three to pick from. A request to her Phone profile is not seen on her Tablet or Computer. Link to post Share on other sites
bgavin 1,854 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Apparently, I won't be getting onto MeWe at all. It says both of my email addresses are "already used", so I cannot recreate my account. Oh well. Link to post Share on other sites
