January 19th, 2025:

	I've finally deleted my Facebook account.  I'd planned to do it 
years ago, but kept it alive solely to communicate with my change-adverse 
family and friends, going so far as to pare down my friends list to 
roughly 25 people to accomodate the holdouts.

During that time, I realized I only *really* interacted with a small 
handful of these 25 folks, so the decision was made to terminate my 
account at midnight last night.  I gave my family a week's notice, gave 
them a list of other (Fediverse) social media platforms I'm on, asked for 
*their* contact methods, then pulled the plug.

Two people reached out.  I exchanged phone numbers with a semi-local 
friend, and exchanged email addresses with an elderly aunt.  Suppose the 
rest of the family and I will find a way to get in touch if we need.

My Friendica posts are slowly trickling through to the rest of the 
Fediverse now... at least to Mastodon.  I'm showing posts up 'til January 
6th now, so that's good.  Posts don't seem to be filtering out to Diaspora 
yet, though.  I checked, and none of my Friendica posts have reached my 
Diaspora account since early December.

Oh well, I'm sure it'll get sorted soon enough.
