Elyz78095yI had a similar moment when I wanted to close my Instagram account the other day. I couldn't do it from my phone, had to use a real browser. Even when I tried to do it from the phone browser it just opened the app for me and told me to go fuck myself. I hate that companies think it's ok to make people's lives son difficult when you don't want to use their stupid services anymore.

donuts238485y@Elyz Switch the browser to desktop mode? That's actually what I ended up doing so it doesn't load/redirect the mobile site ( just changes the user-agent header it sends to the sites I think)

Elyz78095y@billgates oh thanks, I'll have to look into how to do that, didn't think I could. Fixed the problem with a pc but it annoyed me at the time.

donuts238485y@Elyz usually in the menu. As long as the url isn't too some mobile specific site, it will then reload the desktop version.

Deleting my Facebook account was a hassle, they try to make it as difficult as possible. The parasite will fight to keep its host.

donuts238485y@NOPSledRider I still have FB, I use it for some groups and for mobile game logins or some site that demands an account to access the contents...
But I don't use Messenger and use an unofficial web wrapper client on my phone, notifications off (I think that's the big thing).
So many steps and guilt to close accounts these days....
Even had to Google how to close it ... It's not in account settings...
