I have a severe problem with professional communities /requiring/ me
to have a Facebook, et al., account to participate in community
discussions.
What am I supposed to do if I don't have / can't get / want to avoid
$WalledGardenInQuestion? Am I forced to choose to break down and get
an account with $WalledGardenInQuestion XOR not participate in said
professional community?
What happens when $WalledGardenInQuestion changes policies or
otherwise disagrees with something or is decides to ban the country
where I'm at?
I think that such walled gardens are a Bad Idea™.
That's especially true since their moderation AI's are terrible and
arbitrary and absolutely not up to the task. Getting put into FB jail
for something outside of work affecting you at work is not OK. And since
they use browser fingerprinting, etc, having two separate account while
in FB jail looks like ban evasion to them and will get you site banned.
