We’re moving to a new city and the only community I can find for it is on #Facebook.
So, as much as I don’t want to, I decide to make a Facebook account again just to access this community…
(This is why communities must not be locked behind the walled gardens of surveillance capitalists. But even if we create fedi/Small Web alternatives, we still need to let the existing ones know they exist somehow.)
…Anyway, long story short, I can’t – they’ve #blacklisted my name :)
O hai, Mark!
@aral It's a good thing there are never two people in the world with the same family and given name.
@masukomi Indeed. *whew!* ;)
@aral Also that it's completely impossible to lie about what your name is, or have multiple email addresses.
They really dodged a bullet there.
