I check Facebook like twice a year and mostly still have it out of inertia. I have it linked to an email address I specifically use for sign ups that generate a lot of spam emails, so I can in turn just ignore all of it.
A few days ago on my main, actual email address that I use for professional contacts, resume, etc... I got a suspicious email sending me a "Facebook recovery code" I never asked for. Hell, it's been like over half a year since I went there. It was from [email protected] and wanted me to click a link to "let us know" if I didn't request a recovery code. It looked like a phishing attempt, honestly.
Looking into it, apparently this is a legit facebook email account, so I clicked it to let them know I didn't request it.
Ever since then, all the stupid "person on your friends list posted an update!" emails that used to go to the spam email address I had my FB account connected to are popping up in my real email inbox.
I wasn't even sure if I ever gave FB my real email (maybe I did, fuck if I know?) so I tried going on FB to check and... my password didn't work. I clicked "forgot password" and it pops up:

You�re Temporarily Blocked

It looks like you were misusing this feature by going too fast. You�ve been temporarily blocked from using it.
If you think this doesn't go against our Community Standards let us know.

The fuck? Other than clicking to let them know I didn't request a recovery code, this has been the sum total of all my FB activity in the past 6+ months. Was I hacked or something? Or is it some ploy by FB to dupe me into being more active?
