I don’t have much programming knowledge, however at this point I’m grateful if I can at least download my FB data - I haven’t tried it yet and, honestly, I’m afraid they might ask for my gov ID. I never wanted to do that, as they tried to when my account, where my main name was my pen name, got busted for “fake name”. Funnily, they didn’t ask for ID anymore when I inputted my legal name! I hate them for doing that - but now I also hate Bluesky for suspending my freshly started alt account and asking for ID via email - which is just bonkers and discourages me from sticking long term to Bluesky. Which sucks cause right now there’s a lot more activity on Bluesky than on even Mastodon, as far as I can tell.
