It's hard to leave a monopoly, and you can't contact your friends any other way https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4151433
Anecdotally, someone I know deleted their account, had it reactivated (the site did this) and now they show up on People You May Know. Plenty of other people have tried deleting it and found it nigh impossible
I think its more accurate to say that it seems hard, which admittedly is likely enough to get a lot of people to not try.
Friends you can only contract through Facebook are not very deep friends.
Yes but it's like saying the only social media you need is email
That's great if you already can reach everyone. But Facebook in theory is meant to cater to the lost-touch-with-person years ago thing
Really? You don't have their phone numbers?
