She knows that this doesn\u2019t delete the account \u2013 that\u2019s the point. She knows that when she logs back in, she\u2019ll be able to reactivate the account and have all of her friend connections back. But when she\u2019s not logged in, no one can post messages on her wall or send her messages privately or browse her content. But when she\u2019s logged in, they can do all of that. And she can delete anything that she doesn\u2019t like. Michael Ducker calls this practice \u201csuper-logoff\u201d when he noticed a group of gay male adults doing the exact same thing.<\/p>\n<p>  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>  Shamika doesn\u2019t deactivate her Facebook profile but she does delete every wall message, status update, and Like shortly after it\u2019s posted. She\u2019ll post a status update and leave it there until she\u2019s ready to post the next one or until she\u2019s done with it. Then she\u2019ll delete it from her profile. When she\u2019s done reading a friend\u2019s comment on her page, she\u2019ll delete it. She\u2019ll leave a Like up for a few days for her friends to see and then delete it. When I asked her why she was deleting this content, she looked at me incredulously and told me \u201ctoo much drama.\u201d Pushing further, she talked about how people were nosy and it was too easy to get into trouble for the things you wrote a while back that you couldn\u2019t even remember posting let alone remember what it was all about. It was better to keep everything clean and in the moment. If it\u2019s relevant now, it belongs on Facebook, but the old stuff is no longer relevant so it doesn\u2019t belong on Facebook.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(via <em><a href=\"http:\/\/waxy.org\/links\/archive\/2010\/11\/index.shtml\" title=\"Waxy Links: November 2010\">Waxy<\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>Interesting approaches, and I don&#8217;t think I would have thought of either.
