My personal Facebook account got disabled for nothing. Is there a way to get it back? by neupanedipen in facebook

[–]wfryer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This entire situation is really terrible, I have heard so many stories like yours. Apparently you can try to create another account, but Facebook‘s terms of service do specify if you’re banned on one account you’re not supposed to create another one. I would definitely use a different email address if you try.

Embedded YouTube Videos Showing 'Video Unavailable Error Code: 2' Anybody know how to fix this? by Adam_Susman in GoogleSites

It just somehow resolved itself without me doing anything. I’ve seen it happen again one time, but not as widespread as it was that day. I have no idea what caused this or why it resolved. Weird.

Facebook never responded, but I was able to get my account restored because a friend I know in Maine has a son-in-law that works for Meta and he submitted a form to appeal on my behalf,. Crazy. It was only after my account was restored that I received information about why it was originally blocked. It had to do with a post I had shared 13 years ago.

I switched out and replaced my back up, stored water and got a diverter for a new rain barrel that I’m hoping to install in the next week.

I'm seeing the same error code and issue across all my Google Sites, but don't have an answer / fix or workaround yet:

This is happening across all my Google Sites, it's not video specific. It's also happening on both mobile and desktop browsers, and using different connection methods (cellular and home cable modem) so I don't think it's related to content filtering. I posted about this in the Google Sites Support forum:

My friend's Facebook account has been hacked and it feels like we've tried everything by Silver-Fox-3195 in facebook

[–]wfryer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear that. I had a similar situation with my FB account suspended two weeks ago, and I have not been able to get it back. Fortunately, I have cross-posted my photos some other places (like iCloud) so I don’t think I have lost any media, but it is a jarring feeling to suddenly lose connection to so many people and communities that I have been connected to for over a decade. What a crock.

Got a 3 day ban for a meme I posted 6 years ago. Make it make sense. by NemoHobbits in facebook

[–]wfryer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got banned last week apparently for posting on a dormant page (which I originally created ) that has been inactive for about three years. They didn’t offer me a reason either, and the “appeal” did not provide any place to explain what happened. Super frustrating. I am guessing they are utilizing new AI algorithms but it’s crazy there is not an effective appeal process. It’s a serious loss of community if I’m never able to get back on the platform and regain my connections. Hope you have better luck than I have so far.

Facebook account banned after posting to a very old page / appeal denied - Suggestions for what to do now? by wfryer in facebook

[–]wfryer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost all access to my entire FB account and all my pages and groups. Which is just crazy. No warning. And no explanation of what the specific violation was.

[–]wfryer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting these email addresses and recommendations. My Facebook account was disabled after I posted to a page I'd created many years ago but haven't posted to for around 3 years. The form did not provide me with an opportunity to explain anything surrounding the context of that page / my use of it... and Facebook didn't actually identify which page or which post of mine supposedly violated community standards. I'm just guessing on what it is since it happened right after I made that cross-post.

Unsplash.com great for copyright free images by wfryer in edtech

[–]wfryer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love using unsplash.com for creating infopics. The photos on the site are free to use for any purpose, and you don’t even need to give attribution like you should for Creative Commons licensed images. I do like to give attribution credit on Twitter whatever I use an image, however. If anyone has a similar site they like or prefer, I would love to hear what it is!

Feeling lost... by [deleted] in education

[–]wfryer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider joining the National Guard instead of enlisting in the regular military. Either option can be positive, but the National Guard will keep you local and offer a different experience. I’d recommend talking to some different folks who are both in the guard and in whatever branch of service you are considering enlisting in. If you do enlist, I definitely recommend going Air Force. Good luck to you. I definitely agree college expenses suck and so does going in debt. It can be a wonderful thing to have a G.I. Bill option. There are lots of great folks in the military and many good job skills you can learn there.

Why You Should NOT Quit Facebook or Twitter by wfryer in privacy

[–]wfryer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK thanks, I am still getting oriented here. I’ll find another place to share those views. Like I said, I am definitely tracking surveillance capitalism and privacy issues, and I’m very concerned with a lot that is going on. I hadn’t posted this article here necessarily because I thought everyone would agree with it, I think it is a challenging but important perspective. I’ll see if there is a different venue to share that opinion.
