if enough people are looking for this (and are willing to provide anonymized examples of what facebook's data export looks like) I might be willing to write a script for it, same with any other platform!

@dannym Thank you :)
I will see if I can create an account and export the data from it. What would be the best way to share the data with you?
just put it up on a git repo and share the link

I don't think you can move your data off Facebook, but you can make a copy of it and transfer it to another service.

@mingu @OpenSource @selfhosted Sorry for stupid question but once the data is exported from Facebook, is there an easy way to import it into Friendica?
@LordChaos82 @OpenSource @selfhosted I don't know honestly, I don't use Friendica. It looks like they did think about it before: https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/5212
