congratulations! I got my Facebook deletion unconsentually, I guess there was an exploit or something because I tried to log in for the first time in over a year to look at a band and got met with a "your account will be deleted in 70 days" message with a name that isn't mine. Can't appeal without literally scanning my face so... uh.. I'm good.

Your brain will rest easy now! Good job
The daycare my son goes to uses FB exclusively to communicate closure, parties, etc. I hate it.
Can you politely request they communicate professionally by SMS gateway or automated call? Or is this like a mom & pop unlicensed daycare?
It is licensed, but also small mom and pop. It's a great daycare, and this is the only complaint I've had in two years. If I had a good solution for them, I would suggest it to them.
For one thing, Facebook will happily decide that you don't need to see posts from them, so it's a terrible way to communicate.
I semi-recently deleted a 20yo fb account. It's been over 30 days, so Yeah... it's gone.
Better late than never I guess.
Nice, great step! Just in case: did you check if you have any forgotten "log in with facebook" linked applications? You might want to check them to see if you have configured an alternative login. If you're not sure, I very strongly advise you to undo the delete while it is still possible, and go into settings to check for this. When you're sure you're all good, you can just delete the account again.
Yeah I did, also downloaded a copy of my data. Thanks though!
