NO FACEBOOK FOR ME!

eddyandme — Sun, 02 Jan 2022 13:44:54 GMT

Last nite I was checking my mail. Got oneemail from facebook stating my account was suspended for not abiding by their standards or something. It stated I could have them re-check this in case they made a mistake. However to do so I had to get a text code, et al to begin the process. I was really hissed off 'cause:

Just set up this laptop approximately a week ago. Because it's a chromebook I have gmail. When I went to change my account on fb, it would not accept my new email and stated to set up new account, which I did!

The problem with this new account was that my old account info did not come over. The new format didn't list friends, yet had a page I could put them on. Only asked one friend to friend me on this new account, since I didn't know how she was set up on fb, but she couldn't do a friend request since we were already friends on my original account -- DUH!!! As a result I haven't used it. And, though I haven't used it, I got suspended for not following fb rules. So I decided the #ell with facebook - don't need the aggrevation.:

Anyone else have such a thing occur with their fb account?

@eddyandme That would irritate me to no end! It's ridiculous. Things that are supposed to be simple & fun & they are aggravating.

Sorry @SeaMaiden , I didn't realize it was a common thing. But, I did find it insulting!

@eddyandme I found it irritating. I am amazed at what is on Facebook....what I was suspended for was like you... no big deal compared to what trash is published...Oh well.

eddyandmee - I don't think you will be missing much by leaving Facebook.

I hadn't looked at my Facebook account for more than a week. They deactivated my account.

It seems less and less "friends" were posting on Facebook. So I rarely check it. And when I do, I only seem to see a post one time and then I can't find it again. My girlfriend became a Grandmother and when I went back looking for the post, I could not find it.

I get a lot of ads I don't care about. I click not to see it again. I don't care to see ads for Healthcare Insurance.I would never pick my Healthcare Insurance Company because of a Facebook ad.

It seems changes are going on at Facebook.

The only thing the OP will miss is a ton of telemarketing emails and phone calls.

If you read FB's privacy notice, they have the right to sell your info to everyone on the planet.

Facebook does NOT and never has and never will send people emails about not abiding rules or anything else. That's ridiculous. I have been suspended from Facebook more than once. You only know when you try to post something and then you are advised about being in Facebook "prison". If you tried to set up a new Facebook account on a new laptop, using the same identifying info, you can't do that. It would appear to the Facebook algorithms that you are a hacker. I don't know happened in your case but when you set up your new laptop, all you hD to do wax sign into Facebook with your password and the phone number you originally used. Facebook does have customer service but apparently it's a nightmare getting someone to call you back. My sister had a login problem last summer, it took 2 weeks of calling a couple of times a day before Facebook customer service returned her call but they resolved the issue for her.

Left Facebook years ago and never looked back. Don't miss it one bit and with all the privacy issues, or lack of, it's one thing off my radar I don't have to worry about.

I have never and will never have a Facebook account or any other "social media." See no need for any of it.

Best thing I ever did (well, almost). Deleted my FB account. Don't miss it at all. They are too intrusive and cavalier with personal info.

@Seamaid And I can see why you were suspended twice.

I've never understood why anyone would choose to be on fb. The risks to privacy are enormous.

I've been put in FB time out several times, never knew why

But I am right leaning and FB is not the place for those with a similar mindset

By getting restricted, you are in good company

Ive discovered if you happen to have a password problem with Gmail, your goose is pretty much cooked everywhere. Google rules the universe. The sad part is that there's not much you can do to untangle the mess since there doesn't exist a live person to whom you can speak. I spent most of December trying to untangle my mess and it's still not straightened out.

I got suspended once and was just thrilled that I managed to do something offensive to somebody somewhere. Felt like a 1970s rebellious teenager. LOL

I'm very respectful as many of my friends from high school are Mennonite and don't want to post things that might offend them.

I said good-bye to Facebook 3 years ago & have never looked back. Now I just need to get rid of Instagram and I'll be all the better for it!
