Nope sorry. Looks as though they are doing everything through the FB page.
People need to stop doing that shit and accept that not everyone wants to/should use social media - particularly FB. People treat it like a webpage. They need to use a platform that DOESN'T REQUIRE A SUBSCRIPTION.

Sorry to make you a middle man, mate, but can you see when the next work day is?

Yeah, I'm pretty privacy conscious, as many others are these days. But even aside from that, using a subscription service like that inherently reduces your reach and ability to attract people.

I'll go there next build day, if I can make it and suggest that I repost in this thread if they can forward me the info.

Or the opposite and you increase your reach beyond what a website can do because market penetration is so huge, it goes both ways. It also lets you manage fuckwits pretty easily, and mo monetary cost. All websites, especially ones with interactive features, cost money.

It's also possible to sign up and interact with Facebook without telling them who you are, plenty of people on here do it and just follow their MTB groups and look at bikes on Marketplace.

Not me though, the internet has known who I am since 1994 and I like to troll self-described masculine men who love noise from ICE cars and tell me I am not a man because I don't like the sound of wasted energy :)

Well, no need to be coy about it, make with the IT wizardry and spill the beanz.

[Yes, I know how to google, but other than using Tor, which I'd rather not do for my own reasons, there is often a lot of conjecture around what works and what does not. So if you are confident of what works, I'm keen to hear it]

I would go incognito/private mode on a browser, make a gmail (johnnyfacebook666) and use ot to make a FB (Johnny Robbins Esq. DSc AOM) and then just use the PC to do the browsing in incognito mode.

They can't find out much about you if you're not keeping their cookies and incognito does that. Even use the browser you never use (Safari Mac, Edge Win) to keep em even more separated. You don't need the app for casual FB browsing, it's the thing that will up the level of privacy invasion, and while clunky you can still use the site in browser on mobile in incognito mode.

Facebook totally knows my fake account is me and does nothing, I don't take these precautions but if I needed to that's how I'd do it.

Do they not still have your IP? This approach also links your IP to your FB account for Google, which is possibly worse. It also doesn't protect against fingerprinting (although using a single browser will assist). I suppose stuff like Containers, CanvasBlocker, Badger, VPN and whatnot might go some way to helping with that.
