Apparently Meta is afraid of Pixelfed. Clearly, @dansup is doing something right. Can't imagine a bigger compliment.

"CONFIRMED: Facebook has *banned* anyone from linking to Pixelfed. #metablockingpixelfed"

Maybe tech media should pick this up. Seems like a good story!

CONFIRMED: Facebook has *banned* anyone from linking to Pixelfed. #MetaBlockingPixelfed I just tried posting a message on Facebook that reads: "Anyone here using Pixelfed?" with a link to Pixelfed.Social Within *seconds* I got a post saying my post was banned. Screenshots below.

@mastodonmigration @dansup @ajsadauskas testing this now. Yes its ttue. I tried 3 times, it got removed every time (labelled as spam). The first time I didnt even use a full link, just 'pixelfed.social'.

update2: Tried again, this time it worked, writing a longer post and putting the words in apostrophes.

Update3: we tested it in comments and my friends worked but when I commented back, it was removed again. See screenshots.

UPDATE 4 THE LAST PIXELFED LINK TEST HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED.
