    Deleting it for 3 years also improves mental health and keeps toxic family members out of your business. I wish I’d learned that sooner.

      Just never accept the friend requests by family members, it isn’t worth it.

      Even aside from politics, the only thing they do is comment dumb annoying gifs on your posts.

      I think I’m closer to 10 years, but I do remember needing to recreate one for a few weeks while I worked with a few Facebook employees on a project.

      Anyway, I don’t even know what Facebook looks like these days. My contacts occasionally mention it, but nothing important seems to happen there.

      Just delete your account. It’s not a big deal, it’s just toxic people showing off for other toxic people.
