meta: Phasing out support for Facebook #81

Closed cyyynthia closed 1 year ago

cyyynthia commented 1 year ago

Initially introduced 2 years ago in response to #15, turns out supporting this platform is a pain and only concerns a minuscule amount of users.

According to my metrics, 2% of PronounDB users have linked a Facebook account, the lowest of all supported platforms. It also is the platform who receives the least amount of requests. After a quick poll in my Discord server, it seems the amount of people who want support for this platform are low.

Within the coming days, it will no longer be possible to link any new Facebook account. Support will be removed from the extension and linked Facebook accounts will be removed from the database. Accounts with only one or more Facebook accounts linked will be deleted.

Linking Facebook accounts is no longer possible. Account purge will happen in a few days, and accounts with only one or more Facebook accounts will be purged as described.

Database purge has been performed. 220 Facebook accounts have been pruned, and 13 PDB accounts have been deleted (no other type of external account linked).
