Thanks for that link, there seems to be a lot of useful stuff there! I can see teddit, which haven't worked for a long time. But still interesting.

The less info they can collect on me, the less profitable I am and most likely to be blocked, I imagine. My objective and facebook's objective are in direct conflict. Not giving them info and still interacting to people who use it is the challenge.

Yeah, after reading your post I searched and found a few. All looking super dodgy.

I'm sure they don't care about people selling the account. However I get the account, as long as they can profit from me it's all they would care. But I think it would go back to the initial reason they blocked me, because it doesn't seem that I would be profitable.

So I'm not sure if going through one of those dodgy websites and buying that would not get the same result..

I am happy to pay for useful services to companies I trust, and facebook is possibly the last one on the list. Even if they told me they don't track me I wouldn't believe. Not they would be even allowed not to, being an american company...

Where?

I think there would be a good chance they would know I'm not the original owner, with all the changed behaviour, and then they would still block me.

But it's something I didn't think about... doesn't seem like a good option, but an option still..

Oh... that's bad. But I always imagined that that might do it. I just don't know if I need them enough to go that far.

Unfortunately I think I know the answer and I'm not wanting to face it...

I wish there was something I could donate to help destroy facebook. I don't want to give them 1cent, but I would pay a few thousand dollars if I thought I had a chance of removing its influence from my life.

Social websites are only worth the people using it. Here it's only facebook unfortunately. There used to be gumtree which was great, but now it's dead.

But so, do I need to use my real name? I imagine they have all sort of features to know if you are fake, and I don't know what those rules are. I imagine it depends a lot on many things, like location, operating system, etc. I use Linux and Firefox, and just from that they probably know there's a higher chance that I'm someone who hates facebook and might try to make a fake account.

I've done from maybe 3 different devices, so I don't think that's what fixes it.

They always let me make the account and use it. But on the next day, or even the same day, they block it.

Oh, but what are the proxy websites? That would already be a nice thing to know. I know I would have to log in on them, but I don't know if facebook even allows a third party website to log people on.

So the phone is the difference that makes it work?

Did you use a fake name, do you have friends on it? If I go down that path I would want to make sure I have all ingredients for it to work.

Here the government requires full privacy breach for buying a sim (because, of course, the terrorists and stuff). That with the inevitable hack that happens from time to time on telcoms it's just a matter of time of them spreading all the details the telcom have on me.

I think things will have to get worse for me to consider that option. But I am thinking about it. Still... there's no guarantee they won't block me since I won't use my real name or have any "friends" on it. I think if your account will clearly not give them money, they will block it.

What a fu234ing fu#$ cun@# ret!@# pieces of !#@ That pisses me of so much! The nerve! It happened to me too. A shitty website I never wanted to use and they behave as if they are the most important and necessary government agency.

Which... because of people's stupidity, they really are now... I don't hate them as much as I hate the people that gave them this power.

Me! I worked most of my life with 3D and Photoshop. Some stuff i did might have increased some sales, some might have been fun, but all were useless and mostly advertisement. I always wondered, if everyone working in ads died, what effect would it have on humanity? Rich people would be worse, but humanity as a whole would be better.

That's just my field. I can think of quite a few areas that are just harmful and exists mostly to make rich richer.

No recommendations, but I'm very interested in what people can suggest.

I kind of liked the 3 body series, originally Chinese. But that's science fiction. The netflix version however is a highly recommended series to never watch.

It's one of the most awesome softwares ever. I've been using it for so long that my life now relies on syncthing and if it ever stopped working I would be in a massive trouble. I think I don't rely on any other software as much.

Unlike what people say, it is also an awesome tool for backup and saved my life many times.
