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.
For me it was less about not seeing the problem with it (I don’t trust them at all), and more about making sure that people pick Mastodon instead of Threads.
Which is why I was pushing for instances to not fully defederate, but use settings that hide the content by default and let users opt in to see it. That way if someone has 1 friend/local entity that they want to follow on threads, they can still pick Mastodon and opt in to see that content.
After the recent changes, I’m not sure if that’s the right move anymore
