Dear diary, today I deleted my meta account. (slrpnk.net)

I did it. Finally. My meta account is in process for deletion! (Whatever that process actually involves we'll probably never know). But I did what I could and deleted all posts, pictures, aswell as changing name and email. Hoping that at least helps a bit. Feels good to finally get rid of what has felt like a burden for a long time.

Was able to move more people than I had imagined over to Signal, some easier to move than others ofc. But it truly helps that Signal is a breeze to use and setup for folks.

Anyway I just wanted to share what feels like a good achievement with you all. Hopefully you're also able to do the same during 2025, there are many good alternatives these days!

Have a good rest of your week!

The daycare my son goes to uses FB exclusively to communicate closure, parties, etc. I hate it.

Can you politely request they communicate professionally by SMS gateway or automated call? Or is this like a mom & pop unlicensed daycare?

For one thing, Facebook will happily decide that you don't need to see posts from them, so it's a terrible way to communicate.

It is licensed, but also small mom and pop. It's a great daycare, and this is the only complaint I've had in two years. If I had a good solution for them, I would suggest it to them.
