Right now, I’m honestly fed up. Facebook is checking my account, and I’m forced to appeal. Years of short educational posts—disappeared. All the photos, videos, and memories that went with them—gone in an instant.

Yes, maybe there’s a way to download your data. But seriously—who wants to go through all that trouble just to get back what they already created? The damage is done. The convenience of social media turns into regret real quick when everything you’ve built is locked behind an account suspension or wiped out over a single flagged post.

This should be a wake-up call for everyone: stop using Facebook as your main platform to write, share, or document valuable content. One small mistake, one misunderstood post, and you could lose it all.

Start a blog. Use WordPress. Host your own site. Share links on Facebook if you want reach—but keep the original content where you control it. That’s the only way to make sure your work lasts. A blog post can live for decades. A Facebook post? It’s just one click away from being deleted.

I’ve learned this the hard way. I hope others don’t have to.
