This happened with Meta and other SM services over and over again. The message is crystal clear and repeated frequently..... You are not so much using them as they are using you. Do Not Use. There was a time without meta and there are others ways to connect. Seek them out, make better by demanding better. Rinse, repeat, for ever.

So glad I ditched social media in 2019. You never realize how much time it wastes until you leave it, and then catch yourself going to look at your phone only to remember that you left. It really does give you a lot of time back. I understand there are people who have legitimate excuses (I say excuses and not needs, because nobody needs Facebook) to have social media accounts, but if you find that you have nothing to keep you there. Drop it. You'll be better off for it. Not to mention how toxic it has become today, you'll be better off mentally for it as well. No more doom scrolling.

I deleted my FB account in like 2010. The reason was I heard a little kid talk about social media her quote was "FB is for old people". I kept Instagram for a while and deleted it in like 2022. So late 2023 I go maybe I should have an Instagram account again. I go to sign up and I used two different emails each time. But here's the best part each time Meta said I was a robot and not a real person. I did the whole spin and prove you're a person thing, but I guess I'm not. The only thing I can figure out is I block FB cookies, but not Instagram ones. So I guess that makes me "not worthy" of an account.

I few years ago I got banned from instagram (it was NOT a valid reason) and I took a break from it from then on. And just recently I've stopped using all social media , including KZbin unless I need to search for something. It really is freeing once you realise you don't need to be scrolling mindlessly through drama that's definitely deteriorating this generation. Now I've come back to instagram to post my art, because it's motivating. Even then, I barely follow anyone else, and don't scroll through comments. Comment sections are terrifying places... Now I conclude that everyone is going insane because of social media. I'm literally a child, and I've already figured that out ಠ﹏ಠ

I was able to get to the page. But, there is a box asking for what 'prompt' you are getting. I don't know what that is, nor how to answer. This box must be answered or the form will not be accepted. When I tried to answer about the photo the require (a screenshot they also ask for), they continually re send me an email code as the form is conveniently rejected. On the third try I was booted out of FB (I was in Insta). I am thinking of simply wiping my entire FB account. It will be simpler. I don't want my account to train AI. But deleting the account means someone could possibly wind up with my account name. So, it will be simpler to just scrub the account of all data and still have access to the network and groups I have cultivated over the years.

Do I need one for each? I guess I would, if I don't want to make a bunch of USB extensions and have them terminate at the end of my desk in a bundle, so I can plug the key in when required. I guess a USB slot on a keyboard that's shared via software KVM would work, as I use software KVM anyways.
