Leaving the Meta Ecosystem

What you genuinely lose when you leave Meta

• Your social graph — the specific network of people you’re connected to, the shared history, the groups. It doesn’t transfer anywhere.
• Community groups — neighborhood groups, parent groups, hobby communities. Many have no equivalent elsewhere.
• Event discovery — for local events, Facebook Events has no real equivalent for casual “what’s happening near me” discovery.
• Memories and On This Day — the curated history surfaced unexpectedly. It’s by design. It’s also sometimes genuinely meaningful.
• Messenger threads with the deceased — conversations with people who are no longer alive may exist nowhere else. Export before leaving.
