Deleted my Facebook account after the Cambridge Analytica scandal years ago, when it became clear they were a scumbag company, run by a scumbag. Haven't missed it once since, good riddance
That's exactly when I did it too since it had literally nothing to do with my own privacy settings but the privacy settings of friends. I now have an account on there with literally no info on it for connecting to things like my Meta Quest 3 (yeah I know, I hate that I gave them money too, but I like the occasional VR). It kinda was what made me stop using social media except for things like Lemmy.
