You could make a dedicated FB account that you only access from a proxy running on a VM on a cloud provider.

The OP also talks about "open source", you can launch an off-FB group and tell your friends to advertise it on Facebook.

Facebook bans accounts with fake info. They are pretty good at it too. I assume they simply use the contact info the scraped and look for your name in your friends contact lists.
