Wow, their response is atrocious. It's basically just "Yes, that's right, there was a second email address attached to your account and the owner of the domain for that email set up SSO, so they now own your account. Try asking them nicely for it."

I started disentangling myself from Atlassian products a few years ago but I was still using Trello. Clearly that's going to have to stop.

Instead, I have a strict separation rule for these kind of services.

No work stuff is hosted in my personal accounts, and work accounts are always created with a separate e-mail. I can just remove myself from everything work related without touching anything personal.

While I was working with a small group, we had our own domain and e-mail addresses as a perk. My relationship went sour with the lead of the project and, as a power move, she disabled my e-mail and other accounts related to that group, guessing that a lot of stuff is connected to this e-mail (since the domain was prestigious in that circles) and doing so will hurt me a lot.

Since only things related to the group/work was on that e-mail, literally nothing happened. I just broke off cleanly from the group and, a move designed to hurt me brought bliss to the parting process.

Meanwhile on Facebook you cannot create a page for a business(say you work in the marketing department) without linking your PERSONAL account to it. Absolutely fucking insane.

That's a completely different thing. One, Facebook is based around the concept of a real person being behind just about everything - when you administer a group, you can see which person posted the individual company/page posts. Two, nothing can happen to your personal account based on the actions of the company page or other people associated with it.

So do it the same way every other website on the planet does it: have an organization and users who have roles within that organization. It's beyond aggravating the way they have them so strongly linked.

.... I'm guessing this hasn't happened to you. Yes, they will block your personal account for "certain" infractions committed by the business manager. Nearest I can tell it depends on how you set up the business. If you set up the business FB page first, your personal account is considered primary so all blame flows to it. If you set up the business manager first, and THEN set up the page using the business manager (NOT the page creator), then it won't affect your personal account; and if you invite someone, no, that person's account won't (generally) be affected either.

Except that FB always drives you to create the business PAGE first and LATER suggests the business manager... thus increasing the likelihood of blocks. It's pathological. Especially because you can blocked for nothing other than their AI misidentifies something in an ad or a post, kills all your accounts, and then you have to beg to get them back.

Point is, that relationship shouldn't exist in the first place.
