#Facebook has reversed its systemic ban of mentions of #Mastodon. Good.
There is a debate over whether or not this #censorship was intentional. I believe it was. Whether a human specifically added joinmastodon.org to a blacklist or not, they have made quite deliberate decisions about their algorithm that serve their greed for engagement first, and the resulting low-quality dangerous information on FB is entirely predictable.

@jgoerzen fascinating - I shared your post on FB (as part of a thread in which I called out their blocking of joinmastodon.org, which I'd also experienced first hand) to say that apparently FB had reconsidered their blockage... and right after (successfully) posting it... I got a notification that my *original* post with joinmastodon.org had be *re-blocked* for reasons that are not clear... Crazy.
@lightweight Can you share screenshots, perchance?
@lightweight @jgoerzen Would be good evidence if the DOJ ever initiated an antitrust investigation.
