Exiled from the Metaverse before it even started: Facebook bans are for life

One thing I can think of that might complicate this is that Facebook has a policy of not allowing nicknames if I understand correctly. Which is why they can also verify you with national ID and others if something happens (and it does).

How would I remain as anonymous as I am on Steam for the community and still work within Facebook's terms of service?

I know plenty of people with nicknames (generally, fake last names) on Facebook. They just have to "look" real. Perhaps use your middle name as your last name.

I did that back when I had an account about a decade ago, and some do gooder got into an argument with me, didn't like my opinion and reported my account. It got locked and they asked for a government issued ID. Fuck that. I never went to the site again. Good riddance.

Exact same happened to me - lots of snowflakes on Meta[stasize].
