Delarage

ask me for an ID or picture---but it did ask for an email to verify (I have a couple "burner" emails for trash like Facebook). That alone kept me from making a fake account earlier, but I really wanted on Marketplace. I also deleted my entire original FB account that I had way back---along with any other social media (like LinkedIn). Sometimes friends would send me things that I could only open (or see comments on) in FB, so I'd always be asking someone with it to show me. For now at least, I can look at stuff with my fake account. But if it keeps annoying me, I may nuke it, too.
