As a next step in rethinking my approach to using Facebook, I have started deleting my Facebook history. FB only let’s you delete things by hand, posting by posting, like by like, comment by comment. Which takes about as long or longer than the original time spent posting or liking. So I am using a Chrome plugin to do it for me by pretending to be me, going through all the delete and unlike links. I’m currently deleting 2014 data, to see how well that works. 2014 is the first full year I posted more than just the RSS feed of my blogposts, whereas 2013 and the years before that until October 2006 basically only contain my RSS feed, which only contains public material anyway.
