Deleting Your Entire Contents of Facebook - would you ?

Seems an appropriate place to ask this question, is there a way to mass hide your photo's?

I'm aware you can do this individually but I don't fancy going through 100+ photo's.

Hide from who? Friends or everyone? And stuff you've uploaded or been tagged in?

I believe you can mass-hide photos you've been tagged in

I've never understood the bizarre desire to plaster every aspect of your entire life all over the internet for anyone to see. The point is moot here, I don't use Facebook except for one empty 'fake' account that's only ever used to 'like' **** if it's needed to get free **** or enter a competition.

I stopped using it a couple of years ago, and don't miss it one bit. It has far too much prominence in people's lives, especially when you consider that it's sole purpose is to gather data from you and sell it on for profit. Imagine a phone company that allowed you to make all your calls for free... If you agreed to allow them to listen in to all your conversations and inform third party companies of the things you talked about.
 
Why not delete the lot.
I've got all the pictures on my server, the rest of what I posted (generally for family) is probably less coherent than my input here (I know I know but it's true).
 
The other week I deleted over 10,000 photos, closed almost 200 accounts associated with my email addresses and wiped most of my social media. I still have Twitter and Facebook, but a lot of the older posts and stuff have gone. It took a bloody long time but I feel so much better for it.
 
Of course I would. I done so before I deactivated my account a few years ago.

Nothing happened. Life went on as before.
 
I deleted my account But before I had I might have considered that. I just have a pseudonym now so that I can see my friends and family, but I log in maybe one a month or so if I remember. Everyone has my number if people want to keep in touch I expect them to make the effort to keep in touch. But it seems Facebook is easier to use to keep in touch with people. I guess it means saying the news once only but if our friendship isn't important enough to have a personal message once in a while it sort of dilutes the relationship.

Deleting your Facebook will make no difference to your life or that of others.
 
Timeline auto review enabled so that any photos of you have to be approved in advance before they appear on your timeline.

Profile on maximum lockdown so nobody that isn't a friend can see any info other than your profile picture and cover picture.

Don't have anything to do with your job on your profile.

Job done tbh.

As for historic photos - I don't think I have anything other than me being drunk and silly so I can't see a problem with them.
 
Social media was fun, novel and exciting years ago, anyone remember friends reunited, that was a big deal about 15 years ago, then came Bebo, and then FB, now it's just a constant stream of spam and gunk.
 
I wouldn't consider deleting it no. Imagine if if there had been such a thing and you had access to a grandparents digital diary from 50 years ago, would you have been glad to see it or wish they had deleted it?

Facebook is what you make of it, I've muted a lot of people for posting garbage/constant political spamming. If you use it properly it will make really interesting reading for your kids and other future family.

Exactly this ... people constantly seem to dig against social media platforms like Facebook etc and but the majority of the time the problem isn't the platform it's the people/companies you are following on there. If you have someone who always post crap on there then hide them (or if it's another page they keep sharing then hide that) ... the options are there. And just because you are on there doesn't make it rule that you have to post your whole life on there or even any part of it.
 
I would back it up then do it, too many funny memories on my wall.

Saying that I keep my Facebook locked down pretty tight with my privacy settings. Obviously if the government want to spy on me well we're all screwed.
 
I use it quite carefully and relatively conservatively. It is great as a communication tool and the timeline going back for years is interesting (to me!) and a great way of recording some happy memories.
