kjlem-
I only use the shit for marketplace. Couldn't give a rat's arse if I lost access to my Facebook account, but it was my dad's account I had to recover tonight... Silly git has been conducting his life on it, so I had to kick those Nigerian scammers to the kerb for him.
And what an incredible fuck-around it was. Only a combination of bloody-minded determination and a deep-seated loathing for Zuck's giant blob got me through the 267 steps of dead ends and retries on a different device or a different browser, with one hand tied behind my back on fucking Fisher-Price Apple shit I had to google how to drive every. step. of. the. way.
No more Facebook app for dad, he's looking at it through Brave. No more fucking rotten Apples too, if he wants any more tech support from me.

Fucking fucking Facebook.
Despised it from the moment I came across an ad disguised as part of the site, or was it around the same time I noticed a total lack of transparency and functionality of that fucking cesspit. Anyway, from about five minutes after I got an account forever ago.
Just been through a ridiculous runaround trying to help my old man recover his hacked account. Actually got through the stupid maze, I think? Link clicked in recovery email, etc, etc, going through previous account activity, trying to answer amazingly ambiguous forms about a couple of people unfriended by the hacker in the last few days, and, 'sorry, something went wrong' and now that stupid piece of shit app (which I absolutely refuse to install despite every bit of arm-twisting, and which I tell other people not to install because they can just use their phone's browser in desktop mode) is trying to say there's suddenly no internet access even though the phone totally has internet.
FUCKING ARSEHOLE PIECE OF SHIT I CAN'T EVEN
