I wanted to remove facebook, but i can't I will lose connections to friends I met outside my home country. Its kind of the internal person-service that i can't live without currently.
- icebraining 9y agoCan't you ask them for alternative contacts?
- pera 9y agoYou can always send them a message asking for their email addresses or phone numbers before deleting your account.
- Treegarden 9y agoThat's too inconvenient. The nice part about facebook is that you can forget about people, but then they post a status update that they are currently somewhere in your country and you can meet them.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoI imported all of my Facebook contacts into https://www.monicahq.com/ https://www.monicahq.com/, which delightfully enough, I found during a Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14497295 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14497295
- lgregg 9y agoDid you manually import them all? What was your process?
- toomuchtodo 9y agoThe ol copy paste while binge watching a Netflix series on the couch method.
- Treegarden 9y agoAgreed, and if I used an alternative I would have to spend hours searching on google, trying to import "iContacts" or whatever format into whatever other format when I change my pc, phone, loose all the data, or whatever might happen. Its like downloading your email and organizing it into sub folders instead of using gmail.
- limeblack 9y agoYes I just use the messenger app for this reason. I haven't opened the actual FB app on my phone for ages.
