Greetings. I am making a Facebook account. But I want it free and clean of all data. Not attached to me and private. Made an outlook account and creating the account got flagged.

Tried to make a google account and it wants a phone number. I tried even emulation android. Nothing.

Any advice?

Any advice?

Not getting an account on a dead corporate-owned social media platform?

They probably want to use a Quest headset or access the marketplace

In the "dead Internet" sense, yes. It's overrun by spammers, scammers, bots, and slop.

Get a burner phone number for one time setup.

Damn, you knew my obscure reference of a name!

You'll need to get a fake/burner phone number for account verification. Some voip numbers will work, but you'll probably need to try a handful of providers to find one that does.

Duck or Mozilla email relay?

[–] POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have a duck. Bever tried mozzarella

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Mozzarella is great on pizza, standard even

Not sure if you still can make one with a made-up name and dob.

Meta knows who exists and who doesn't in my experience.

Let us know if you succeeded.
