Facebook's loss, and your gain. Thank you for sharing your experience as it reminds me we're not getting much out of FB these days and are instead turning to newer platforms. Your photos too, as ever, are beautiful & inspiring.
I just turned 74 and I’m too young to use Facebook other than to stalk people for my genealogy research. If you’ll write the book I’ll buy the first copy. You write beautifully and you don’t need no Facebook!
Thanks Steve--yes, we're both too young for Facebook--I'm sure that's what my daughter meant! Appreciate the encouragement. Without Facebook I'll have so much more time for writing! I'll let you know how it goes...
Wowza. That they would just disable it and give you no recourse!! Sigh. I keep telling everyone that follows my fb page to sign up here but most have not.
Yeah, awful Facbook--even got someone on the "inside" to request a re-review...nothing. I've only gotten a few from FB to subscribe. I'm recreating my FB page, making it much smaller and focusing on birds and writers...you should get a friend request from me at some point.
Very frustrating. The exact same thing happened to me with my Facebook author page in which I had also invested several hundred dollars worth of ads over the years. Frustrating. Loss of photos, videos, etc. Finally opened up a new account using a different email and email account. But now back everything up. Only use Amazon ads, not FB ads and am very leery of FB. It is true, as your daughter said, that the users are mostly older, but those also are most of my readers.
Yeah...looks like a loss for sure. And my community is mostly older people too. If this problem is so prevalent, you'd think Facebook would at least make it easier to report it. But it probably makes little difference to them...
Exactly. I wrote to them several times, called customer service, even sent emails to the CEO. Filed an appeal as they suggested. Still not result. Even had the "experts" in social media at the school try to help. Wasted hours and hours for a month and a half. Nada. Finally created a new account but lost everything in the old account including photos that I though were secure, as well as contacts. Now I have a co-administrator on my page so that if I get cut, he can carry on. You can make your wife or daughter a co-admin as security if you want to open a new account.

Thanks--you're very kind. That's how I'm trying to look at it! Let me know if you find something better than Facebook!

Thanks for this suggestion, I will do this.
