I deleted my Facebook account last year. I made a post saying “We don’t talk to each other here anyway. Email me or call me if you want to get in touch.” I just kept trying flooded with distant relatives with unsavoury political views.
I still have a Facebook account but I don’t use it. If someone sends me a message there, he gets an automatic Messenger message about where I can be contacted on other platforms, thanks to Watomatic. So the account only functions as an “introducer” to how to contact me elsewhere. I have also blocked Facebook’s trackers and beacons with my ad blocker.
I almost had to recreate one myself because of my work requiring some dev work for them. I’m pleased to see there’s something I could use in the future to forward them on.

That’s fair.
