Can you find a facebook engineer on LinkedIn and send them a InMail? Only costs you one month of linkedin plus, or whatever it is called.

View on HN

I understand you are saying this in good faith, but honestly this is bullshit. Is the only way to get a solution to use LinkedIn inmail to solve a login crisis?

There are plenty of FB engineers on this site alone. Are you all feeling okay with the work you’ve done?

There’s plenty of ways:

1) Get your story on HN front page

2) Get a job at FB, fix issue yourself

3) Install Tinder, drive near FB offices, set search radius to minimum. Try to convince your matches to fix things

4) Buy a 0-day from the dark web, hack into FB and reset the password

5) Become incredibly wealthy, acrue enough FB stock to get a board seat, complain to the CEO

Someone should sell VPN exit nodes next to BigTech offices so that people can exit their Tinder there and do the (3) connection approach without the drive.

Haven't used Tinder in ages, but don't they have a "Travel" option to find matches are a location of your choice?

It’s a paid feature but yes

What about spoofing your GPS location to the front desk of the FB offices? Should work with Androids in Developer mode?!?

Amazing :)

3 b) Install Grind[e?]r, drive near FB offices, set search radius to minimum. Try to blackmail your matches to fix things

(Yeah, it's a good thing that's a lot less blackmail-worthy nowadays. About as serious as what I'm replying to.)

If it would work, then 100% I would do it in a heartbeat. I posted on Blind looking for help, but just got snarky high-school level comments. Have you had experience reaching out via LinkedIn?

Does this work ? Emailing the engineers on LinkedIn ?

You can send a message with a connection request, no Premium required.
