What does this mean on Facebook? Not blocked but limited somehow??

[Whatdoes]

I have 2 fb accounts (one current with actual name one old with a nickname and you wouldn’t know it was mine iyswim?)

Im just wondering what this means - on both accounts I can see the profile of someone so I assume that means I’m not blocked by them (never been fb friends or anything) but if I’m logged into my account with the name they’d know me by absolutely nothing comes up except their page, so no posts etc. if I’m logged in on the account with a name that wouldn’t be associated with me and I search for them I can see every single one of their posts - so have they limited what I can see on my actual current fb account with my name ?

There’s all sorts of settings now to hide posts from specific people, people you have no mutuals with, people you have unfriended…

But I presume you’re asking this because it’s personal? If so, yes they’ve probably hidden posts from you.

Can you restrict someone though if they aren’t a friend on fb and never have been ?

Oh that is actually quite odd. I assume the nickname account doesn’t have any mutual friends?

Yes-you can block anyone on Facebook, including people who aren’t your current Facebook friends
in terms of restricting an account, you can only restrict an account you are friends with
I.e. Markin the account as an acquaintance may stop them from seeing your posts
do you have mutual friends? On some accounts, you can restrict information that mutual friends can see- Maybe you have mutual friends on your legit account which is stopping you from seeing their posts, but Facebook can be a bit weird. I have two profiles and there are people that I can find on one profile that I can’t find on the other, but I am not blocked. ( such as my mums and my best friends account)

Do you have mutual friends with them? AFAIK you can hide things from unconnected people you have no mutuals with. It’s like your profile being for ‘friends and friends of friends’, but not ‘public’. Open to being corrected on this though as I’m not 100%.

I don’t understand then - never been friends on either account, have no mutual friends on either account , the only difference is one account is with my actual name (which I use regularly ) which they would recognise and the old account with a nickname they wouldnt have a clue it was me so it seems they’ve tried to restrict me from seeing anything other than their profile page (that’s why I assumed not blocked as then I would be able to see it?) as on the other account I can see all their posts etc.

You sound a bit invested in this! What’s their relationship to you?

No relationship at all-I’ve been warned multiple times about this person for years now (and ignored it thinking there’s no issue) been told again today I need to take it seriously (to do with dp) so I caved and started looking online and this has just made me wonder have I been stupid dismissing warnings from a good friend for nearly 3 years now 😞 my dp hasn’t even got fb always said he wasn’t interested

I don’t understand it tbh , I think I might just ask DP tomorrow what’s going on with this person ? I’m not very good with fb stuff so it might be easier !
