Fediversians. I just spent three weeks blogging EVERY SINGLE NIGHT to give you a COMPLETE list of instructions to RECLAIM YOUR DATA. Go dark, scatter your traces, stay secure, erase your data footprint. Accessible to all.
Just in time too. Data sovereignty and protection are no longer a luxury but a MUST.
Data traces are political traces. History teaches us that data by you and about you can and will be used against you and those you love.
For you, your neighbors, your families. #optout NOW, and help others to do so too.

@cyberlyra I am in the process of deleting a Facebook group I once created and forgot about when I left the platform years ago. I have to manually select each of the 600+ members and select ‘Ban from group' from a dropdown menu before I can delete the group. Is there a better way?
@rrustema I haven’t had a Facebook account in a decade so I don’t know. But I will say the social platforms make it difficult on purpose and laborious so you don’t do it. Think of yourself as sticking it to them while you do it. Watch a movie at the same time or something so you can mindlessly repeat steps. And as you find people you want to stay in touch with, copy their info down somewhere private (like a piece of paper!) so you can circle back to them and stay in touch. In other words, stay strong and make it a pleasurable act of resistance!
@cyberlyra I did manually throw each member of the group out. A week's work, couldn't automate it (or it would take more time). Only then I could delete the group. I think, because there was another moderator that needs to comply.
