I had seen similar posts like this crop up on Reddit from time to time, but I would rather use Lemmy instead to talk about this. However, I did a search for Facebook on here and have looked through communities while trying to see where this would best fit, but I couldn't figure out where it would go. So, I ended up deciding that I would have to go with General Discussion hoping it is okay here.

Anyway, I recently found my Facebook Account had gotten locked for the second time this month and I don't know why as all it says is that it is locked for suspicious activity. All I had been doing is sharing some petitions an stuff on environment conservation and animal welfare which I had been doing there for a long time. The only e-mail I have gotten both times is the one with the subject stating that someone may have accessed your account, but it doesn't give a specific reason why. Even though I have managed to get my Facebook Account unlocked again, I'm currently at the point of discontinuing sharing anything there for the most part as I have not been having any issues sharing similar stuff to Mastodon and Tribel, and getting my Facebook Account locked more than once without any specific reason giving is very inconvenient.

Right now, I don't use Reddit much anymore, I refuse to use Twitter/X for anything, and I'm already really beginning to not want to use anything Meta for much of anything either at this point. And even though I had heard about an admin of a Mastodon Instance being raided by the FBI, I'm currently feeling that it would be more appropriate if it were Facebook admins being raided by the FBI instead with what has been going on lately with that site.

Why are you still using Facebook in the first place?

Why do you feel people need to justify their decisions? To you?

[–] KonalaKoala@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, the reason is because I still have a lot of family on there.

Ah, the age old "I don't value privacy but do value keeping up with people I never talk to" defense. Get over it man, it's a plagued platform.

A lot of assumptions you just made...

[–] LongPigFlavor@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That was pretty uncalled for. You couldn't possibly know that about them and plus your comment just comes across a just plain mean spirited. There are better ways to get your point across.
