    I disabled my account four years ago when I realized how much plague stupidity and election stupidity on there was harming my mental health.

    I doubt I will ever formally delete my account, as it’s the only source for pictures of some now-deceased family members. If hell freezes over and there’s a legit unavoidable need for me to be on there, I’m using desktop+web browser only, and probably in a browser that only gets used for the monthly visit to FB.

      Download them ASAP. You can never trust an external service like that to keep them available in perpetuity.

      Can’t you download those pictures locally? It would be good practice anyway to not rely on Facebook of all places to host your beloved photos indefinitely

      Be careful, I logged out for too long and forgot my password and they wanted a copy of my driver’s license before letting me have access to my account.
