I dropped all those social websites. This board, Reddit, and Quora are the only social media I use.

I considered LinkedIn a highly valuable resource during my career, but needed to delete my account a few months after retiring to achieve full closure on that chapter of my life. I had highly valuable recommendations there gathered over the years, so deleting the account really meant something to me and help me move on. All positive.

I will change my status to retired at the end of the month. Hopefully that will stop the headhunter/contract outsourcing solicitations.

Yep, when I see some of the posts I find them so cringe worthy, the "wow such a great team I have blah blah"....

I feel a little like a heel having not been back to engage in the great responses on this thread. I have been getting my house and property ready to sell and got a bit distracted. It was nice to read the variety of responses and all of them really helped make my final decision to close my account in sort of that "final step" even though I have been FI for 3 years.

I am connected to both my sons back from when I was working. I do find what they are interested in a valuable insight.

I don't know what would be more rewarding, deactivating the business suits, or the linkedIn account. I'll let you know in 13 years when LinkedIn is a distant memory like Tucows, or AltaVista, or GeoCities.
