I also won't be using the Facebook group, as I got kicked off last year
for supposedly violating their terms of service. I can't see anything
that I did that was so bad that I needed to be instantly removed. The
only thing I can see that would cause them to instantly disable your
account is impersonating somebody else, but I wasn't doing that.
There's no human you can work with to understand what you did wrong and
their automated processes don't change anything.
There's no way back from this. I tried creating a new account, but that
doesn't work.
Looking around the Google, I'm not the only one this has happened to.
Just be aware that "something" can happen and you're done with Facebook.
Forever.
It's been about 8 months now, and I'll be honest, I don't really miss it.

Time for a change. Try it for a couple days. Delete if not happy. But I think you will be happy and delighted. Otherwise I would not have suggested. And, we crave your wisdom.
