Heads up about our page!
We're still having a bit of a hiccup with Meta's two-factor authentication, and even though we know our login info and can reset our password, it's not letting us past the two factor authentication problem.
Frustratingly, Meta doesn't have any easy way to reach support. They say we need to log in by next week to keep our page visible, but the codes we receive for two-factor authentication just aren't working!
The good news, we can still post because some controls have been delegated to other users.
To make sure you don't miss anything, we've created a new page:
ReUse Program U of MN
Here's the plan, if we regain control of this page, we'll delete the new one and switch back here. But in the meantime, follow and like the new page to stay connected! Until we have resolution, the only posts here will be about us not having access and directing all to the new page.
We might even throw in a pun or two along the way.
Lastly a PSA for all,
Apparently, mentioning our little Facebook snafu has turned our comments section into a haven for "cybersecurity experts" who love stock photos of people that can be reverse image searched. You know what we are talking about - they sprinkle their messages with "kindly" like it's glitter, everything thing is "urgent" and "time sensitive" and their emoji game is on point. Nothing says I am a well trained professional like an emoji. We should know, 💯%
Oh, and the best part? They all want to solve our log in woes for a small fee in cryptocurrency (of course!) or sent as a "friend or family" payment through PayPal. Funny, we offered one of them all the free chairs they wanted, but we still can't log in. Thought they would want to be comfortable in their hacker farms. New chairs are expensive and we thought they'd be more valuable to them then bitcoin.
Newsflash hackers, we're on a first-name basis with the Nigerian prince, and let me tell you, he's clueless about how two factor authentication works too.
Look, we appreciate the enthusiasm, but these offers are about as legitimate as a three-dollar bill (that we would price and try to sell for $4). We're deleting them as fast as they appear, but sleep is a necessity even for social media warriors.
So, ReUse enthusiasts, don't fall for these scams. Don't click the links, and for the love of all that is reused, don't forward that junk.
