So a few weeks ago, some random kid on Discord managed to get my Facebook and all other Meta accounts suspended, with no chance of appeal and no way to make new accounts; hours after sending a nonsensical malicious threat. It’s horrific that this is actually possible

That sucks, you provide a great thing for the community and get attacks from dumb kids. It’s a serious system flaw meta lets this happen smh

I have said this a hundreds of times and will continue to say this... The Minecraft Community is by far the most entitled community I have ever seen. The amount of players that gets angry at you for not supporting a specific version, being "slow", etc... Just insane.

i’ve heard bad things in other game communities too, but the MC one does seem to trend younger which can be an issue sometimes :/ in this case, we had builds up for ages, but were waiting on all supported platforms to release before publishing a full build on Modrinth etc- so we weren’t even slow

The worst part is also that the multiple Meta engineers I’ve been in contact with either directly or indirectly have basically told me the only way to appeal it is to fly to the US and sue Meta in Californian small claims courts, because they ignore Australian summons. Like wtf

they’re not a hacker, they just reported accounts (and me to the FBI) from my understanding. i can’t really sue some random anonymous Discord user, and there’s nothing to really sue them for..? the point of suing Meta is to get the accounts back, as that’s seemingly their method of customer service

My boss had some fraud happen on Facebook where they got into the account and used PayPal to purchase ads. Of course, a chargeback was issued, and his account was suspended. To get it back they asked for ID then just ignored it. And they suspend any other account he creates in his legal name.
