I went without Facebook for about 7 years. I went through the account deletion process. After meeting my now wife, she wanted to be able to send me stuff she sees on there. W/E I'll just use my old email address and spin up a new account... Low and behold, my account was still there... I went through and manually deleted all of my posts, chats, liked pages, everything. My account is now just a place for my wife to share reels.

I don't like Facebook but I have found it convenient to be able to use the marketplace again.
