A recent WaPo article tells us that leaving the facething is “Easier said than done.”

[facething] is bad! Nevertheless, more than 2 billion of us are still there — some reluctantly, some enthusiastically. Because even though the platform is a cesspool of toxicity, there are reasons to stay. Maybe it’s the only way you keep in touch with your aunt. Or find out what’s happening in your hometown. Or catch up with gossip from your high school friends. That’s [facething]’s trap: The emotional connections are inextricable from the algorithm that keeps us clicking against our own best interests.

It’s easier than you think. First, download your activity to your computer. This gives you a copy on your computer of your account activity, including posts and – important for many – the photos you’ve uploaded over the years. Once you have a copy of your old life, you can deactivate or delete your account.

That’s it. Eventually you’ll not miss it.

Go ahead – give it try!
