Booted Off of Fascistbook Again
Mar 14th, 2025 at 8:59am
 
    Yesterday I went grocery shopping.  When I returned home I discovered that my Instagram account and consequently my Fascistbook and Messenger also were disabled.  They said I posted inappropriate content, which I never have done.  There seems to be no way to appeal this decision.
     There are two possibilities. I got an email that sometime that morning an unknown device accessed my account.  So possibly I was hacked.  Or for the second time my accounts were disabled due to my political activities.
     Am I upset?  A little, but not as much as I expected.  Honestly, I was spending way too much time on Fascistbook.  It was becoming an obsession.  There is more to life than social media.  It's almost Spring.  I live on a lake.  Time for fishing, not living my life on the damned computer. 
    I might start a new Fascistbook account again sometime but I'm in no big hurry to do it.  It's becoming more hassle than it's worth.  In the meantime I'm exploring Blue Sky.  I tried MeWe the last time I was booted off Fascistbook.  It was lame.  But so far Blue Sky seems OK.

I have a friend who had her FB account hacked at one point.  She started getting texts from friends asking about the weird photos she was posting, when she wasn't the one posting them.

I guess I don't understand the purpose of a hacked FB account.  It's just someones pictures and talking to whoever they talked too.  What's the value of hacking it and posting junk when a new account can just be setup for free?  I guess one aspect could be to prove that you could hack it, but after that who cares.  I don't get it.  We need the ethical hacker who breaks into people's accounts, but then gives them back with an (basic) explanation of how it was done.  So the person can try to rectify what was going on and hopefully make themselves more secure.

So far this hasn't been my week.  I got booted from Fascistbook,Instagram, and Messenger,  my computer camera stopped working, and my new toilet just arrived from Amazon broken.  Bad things are supposed to happen in threes so hopefully that's it for a while.

I did manage to hack my way back onto Fascistbook.  I am GL Stone there if anyone wants to connect.
