To give a clear counterpoint to the idea of using Facebook groups - forums had anonymity. You could be a different version of yourself - for better or worse. It's not possible to do that on Facebook without accountability.
- ceejayoz 5y ago> It's not possible to do that on Facebook without accountability. Sure it is. Our local town Facebook groups have a wide variety of clear sockpuppet accounts. Facebook's detection and processes for this are laughably bad; quite a few people have reported the "Count von Brokenhymen" style ones to no avail.
- pavel_lishin 5y ago> Facebook's detection and processes for this are laughably bad Both for false positives and false negatives. I had to register an account to participate in some local town stuff, and my account got locked every week, regular as clockwork.
- mellavora 5y agoYes, well, my son cannot get a facebook account because his first attempt was a sock puppet account (photo was a gecco, username "Gordon". Kid has class). He's tried 4 times since and usually gets shut out within 30 seconds. so sock puppet might not be as easy as it once was.
