I signed up for Facebook because so many newspapers required that in order to access the comments section of their articles. I set up a dummy account using a dummy email address and after penning my rant (usually pro-gun, anti-Dem) I click the "post on facebook" box.
I sometimes get a "account suspended" warning, but like the Energizer Bunny, I just keep going and going and usually get through.
No Chatty Kathy crap, just political postings. The only downside is that I get "Missy X wants to be your friend" emails, which go into the trash along with the spam.
LOL!
That’s funny about he Missy X request!

Actually, you should occasionally accept friend requests through Facebook. It makes the Facebook algorithm think your fake account is active and it won’t scrutinize it as much. I have “ friends” from Vietnam, Ethiopia, Brazil, and Indonesia on my fake Facebook account.
Don’t they get your IP address when you sign up, and doesn’t that “out” your account as fake? I was thinking of setting one up, but figured I’d have to do it from the computers at the library so as not to be caught.
