Thanks for replying. It sounds like you went to the trouble of signing up and were then disappointed to find this out. Sorry about that. Note that the post currently says (and has said since I first submitted it, I think; certainly I haven’t yet edited it since seeing your comment):
To get back the 1000 STR, you will need to allow Stellar to interact with your Facebook account, but you can then remove the Stellar app like any other in your Facebook settings after you get back the 1000 STR.
What should I conclude from that, and your comment? Do I need to make it clearer? Might other people overlook that, or do you think it was rare that you overlooked it (assuming you did)?
So I did read that line. I understood that you need to make it interact with Facebook in order to get 1000 STR back after donating it to MIRI. What I didn’t understand was that you also need to make it interact with Facebook in order to get the free 6000 STR that you get for signing up—as claimed on MIRI’s Facebook page.
What confuses me is that cryptocurrencies are supposed to support anonymity. Facebook is the anti-thesis of anonymity.
It doesn’t get you your time back, but that is my fault and I do apologise. I have edited the post to try to make this clear. If you take a look and find my explanation still lacking, feel free to let me know.

Requiring Facebook is a good way for them to stop people from creating numerous fake accounts to get the free 6000 units on each account.
