Anyone else seeing this? I made a comment that included "joinmastodon.org" and got this from Facebook.

@jgoerzen maybe many people used that URL and it reached a limit where facebook counts it as spam?

Nah... keep your conspiracy theories to yourself.

There is no such limit. Big corpos as well as dumb trends are being spammed every day. This is just a standart Cartel behavior.

@LukeAlmighty @sirjofri @jgoerzen yeah, they just mark things as spam and count on the fact that you can’t actually reach them and complain to them. i once set a site up, which no one else had seen pretty much, and the site was marked as having content that is against the community guidelines, it was a simple wp webshop, i read the guidelines, it didn’t break any of them, they just recognize things that are actually independent sites, which people might use instead of facebook, and then ban linking to them.

@federal_bureau_of_the_interwebz @jgoerzen @LukeAlmighty maybe you can circumvent this by embedding their cookies, ads and stuff. Basically do what they want and nothing you like

@sirjofri @federal_bureau_of_the_interwebz@poa.st @LukeAlmighty Well that just kicks the evil villain factor up a notch, doesn't it. Ugh.

@sirjofri @jgoerzen @LukeAlmighty i hadnćt thought of it, but i would really detest doing that, but i canćt say for sure i wonćt ever do it

@federal_bureau_of_the_interwebz @jgoerzen @LukeAlmighty there's a reason we have personal websites, independent of big corps. So really, just don't do it. I certainly won't do it. People who want to visit my website probably aren't on facebook or other pages like that, so it's fine

@sirjofri @jgoerzen @LukeAlmighty yeah, certainly i wouldn’t even try any of this for a personal site, but i’m maintaining a webshop for a friend, and so i have a problem in that my job is to “maximize customers” for them, if i’m not trying to do that i’m not doing my job, and since he’s selling to boomers, he has to have a facebook presence because that’s where the boomers are. but i’m not knocking anything you’ve said, you’re completely right.
