A comment on Apple has locked my Apple ID, and I have no recourse. A plea for help.

parisidau, I hope you get your account back.

you can in the meantime, and for the future, try compartmentalizing services you use. the old saying of "all eggs in one basket" applies here as well.

VPS, hard drives, etc. are cheap and keep you more in control of your own data than you're with big tech.

How do you that with Apple hardware that requires an AppleID to operate?

Is your advise to avoid all Apple hardware?

Or buy backup hardware none of which will run MacOS / iOS, so you still couldn't access things like your Apple Developer account, or any shared documents?

Are you not able to use them at all without an apple id? I have some older apple devices which I guess predate that

Have no apple hardware. If you need apple hardware for work use a work email and account and never use it for anything else other than work. Always pay apple with a work credit card.
