!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You're better off avoiding everything that Meta owns: The fact that they make you send in an ID in the first place is insane!
That said, if you really want to keep giving these assholes all your personal info, you can totally photoshop your ID to obscure your actual info like address and whatnot but they'll still accept it because they have no way of verifying your actual address.
Once you get back into your account, you should really think about deleting it completely though.
Eh, I've decided not to worry about it. Like I said, I only used it so that when people posted something somewhere that is linked to FB, I could see it. I figured I would try to get back into my account if it was possible to without giving them my id, but it doesn't seem like it is so I won't . It's not that big of deal. I've always uninstalled Facebook from every phone I've bought, and only connected to it through a sandbox because I don't like or trust Meta. It's not a big loss.
Meta is cancer.
I agree. It's just annoying when people link to stories or videos from it and you can't access them unless you have an account. I guess I've just got FOMO, but I'll just keep complaining every time someone does that. They'll either stop doing it or block me.
Can't you sign in using your email address if you forgot your username?
Since you don't really use the account, wny not just make a new one?
I did the email verification, but then I have to also give them an id.
I tried making a new account. As soon as I verified my email (which was a different email than my old account), I got a notification that my account was suspended and I have 180 days to appeal.
They instantly suspended your brand new account? It sounds like there might be something else going on here, and I suspect that there's more to this than you'd have us believe.
Making a new account from the same IP after failing a verification is textbook ban/scam evasion
I got the same trying to make an instagram login earlier this year, having never used insta before. I think Meta just has some overzealous automoderation of new accounts.
There is nothing more to it. My original account was never suspended. Like I said, I only use it to click on links to FB. I've never posted anything.
I used a DDG email for the new account. IDK if that has anything to do with it. I know some sites don't accept that as an email. I got a welcome email a little afterward, and clicked the link. When I signed in, It also said I was suspended.
I am using a VPN. Maybe it's because that IP address has been used for another account. I'm just guessing there, because it didn't tell me why it was suspended. It just gave me a link to their TOS.
There were probably some clues in the TOS.
