Deactivating My Facebook and Instagram Accounts

TL;DR

I have left Facebook and Instagram and I am not coming back.

Top 5 reasons:

Why have you left?

Why do you prefer Twitter?

What about your Facebook Groups and Pages?

Well, it's pretty simple — they have been given new owners. I no longer have anything to do with them or the corresponding website and domain.

Will you keep your account deactivated, or will you eventually delete it?

I will keep it deactivated, as opposed to deleting it, in case I need to log back in to retrieve photos, get information from past posts, or review an important post I may have heard about elsewhere.

I also have some other Facebook pages, including Camp Fox and Oak Camp which will need to remain maintained.

2023 Update: These Facebook pages have now been deactivated.

Will you continue to manage your other Instagram accounts?

Yes. I have many other Instagram accounts, including Camp Fox, Bell Tent Camping and Oak Camp which will need to remain maintained. Although I don't use them much, I do like to know I've got access in case I ever need to update something or post an update.

2023 Update: These Instagram accounts have now been deactivated.

Will you continue to use Messenger?

Yes. I use Messenger to communicate with almost everyone, and it is a very good platform in my opinion. While Twitter has direct messaging capabilities, it isn't very good for quite a few reasons (last updated in 2022):
