Alias facebook account??

We have been very nervous to use FB for our LS adventures. We have never trusted the security of FB not to get connected to our other life.

But it seems that many of you DO in fact use FB for your LS activities....

Question:

Can anyone help guide us through setting up a completely separate and private alias FB account?

We do not want to use either of our phone numbers or our emails....that would most definitely link back to our original accounts.

So how do we set up an alias account without using our personal info? Does everyone just set up another email account just for FB? and not use any phone number....will it let us do that?

Or are we just worrying too much about it and it's not that big of a deal?

What does everyone else do that uses FB for the life style??

Thanks in advance.

Cheers Fromus

Did you ever get any feedback on this? We've been told a few times that we're missing out to not be on FB but similarly we're not really comfortable linking to our accounts that have friends, family and colleagues associated.

I feel like setting up an account that doesn't share personal info shouldn't be too hard (throwaway email, no real names, etc.) but then when it comes to verifying that you're not a fake account (which it seems like is a requirement for many FB groups) what's the protocol?

Conversely, is there really a lot happening on FB? Is it worth the hassle?

We can answer some of you questions...

We set up a FB account many years ago (and forgot about it) with a totally different US phone number and new g mail account that are not linked to us personally. We started using it again about a year ago.

1. There is spill over from our personal contacts (suspecting from what's app since Meta owns both) the what's app account has an unlinked number...but there has been communication to our actual #'s from that account.

2. LS connections have appeared on my LinkedIn profile.

Make no mistake...with all the security we put in place it's leaking....nothing is private anymore.

If you have a sensitive job... and really want to be anonymous. Almost 100% secure...

1. Get a new brand new device (cheap tablet) you only use for the LS have someone else pay for it in cash.

2. Get someone else to get you a burner phone and # pay in cash if possible. Btw with most burner phone purchases your pic and the # gets recorded at purchase and stored on a database.

3. Never use wifi at home or work on the device.

4. Never hotspot the device off of anything in your name.

5. Don't make a voice call with the burner phone.

6. When getting a new email address be careful what you use to link. Usually you need a secondary link. Do not use a password you have used in the past.

7. If you paid for your LS memberships on any credit card...your cooked and don't need to bother with 1-6 ๐Ÿ˜€

Remember to turn off location on pics otherwise some will know where you live if the pic was taken at home. For those wearing tinfoil hats...yes even with the location turned off there are still embedded coordinates in the file...but that takes some serious level access...think government.๐Ÿ˜€

Now for the million dollar question...is the LS activity that great on the FB groups? Here is our unbiased opinion...in one word....No!

Why? There is a lot of "look at me I am naughty" and not that much actual action going on from what I have seen so far. For making connections SH wins by a landslide...it's not even close. Then there is the FB censorship,FB jail and no xrated pics....not even g that pushes the is not set up for the LS, there is no profile template that is LS relevant like on SH...FB falls short in too many ways. FB for the LS is like using a wrench to hammer in a nail, it will work but it's definitely not the best tool to use.

What the FB groups are good for is event's, discounts at some clubs, travel info and the information exchange is better than the SH forums. The meet function is better on SH....

So after a year is FB worth it for the LS? Meh...We hardly log in anymore, there are better LS options ๐Ÿ˜€ and that's our opinion, it may be different for others.
