Getting my personal data out of Facebook

  Unfortunately, that tool only gives me all of the data I put on there myself. So nothing I didn’t already have

I believe that is all you are entitled to, under the data portability portion of GDPR:

  The data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller

For information about you, uploaded by someone else, I thought your rights are not so clear:

  Where personal data have not been obtained from the data subject, the controller shall provide the data subject with the following information:

  (c) the purposes of the processing for which the personal data are intended as well as the legal basis for the processing;

  (d) the categories of personal data concerned;

  (e) the recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data

The Data Portability article is about receiving that uploaded data in a standard, machine-readable format, and Article 14 on data not obtained from the data subject just says what extra information must be provided about it.

Article 15 - "Right of access by the data subject" - is what defines one's right to a copy of personal data, and has no restriction on the personal data one is entitled to access.
