Another interesting thing: on Facebook I have a fake account that I use to check how my account appears to other people. Statuses and links I've posted to collateralmurder.com keep disappearing from other peoples' displays.
- blhack 17y agoThat's interesting, but I'm not seeing the same thing... I have two accounts, one that I signed up for my freshman year and another that I signed up for when I transferred schools. I haven't signed into the former in about 4 years but just did so and saw the story that I had posted this morning from my other account. Not saying you're wrong, just that I'm getting different results.
- SlyShy 17y agoThey seem to have been restored. There was, however, definitely a window of time when they were ghost deleted.
- conflux0 17y agoI tried it just now and it worked so I'm guessing there was a mistake on your end.
- ErrantX 17y agoI have a number of fake accounts for work; just checked and they seem to be appearing for all of them ok.
- snprbob86 17y agoSide note: You don't need another account to do that. You can go to your privacy settings and click "Preview Profile". For example, this link will let your see your profile as me: http://www.facebook.com/USERNAME?viewas=100000686899395 http://www.facebook.com/USERNAME?viewas=100000686899395 You can type a friend's name into that box there. Also somewhere in the privacy options is the ability to see your profile as someone who isn't logged in, etc.
- TeHCrAzY 17y agoI think the point was that it might be similar to Reddit's "ninja ban" whereby for you, it seems as if everything is working, but in reality, you are the only person who can see your content.
- daten 17y agoIt might matter how recently you posted them. I don't know exactly how facebook works but I'm assuming they have multiple servers that changes have to get synced to. Sometimes it can take 30 minutes after I post something before it will reliably show up. You can refresh once and see it, refresh again and it will be gone.
- cheald 17y agoFacebook decides what stories are "most interesting" to you, and displays those. If your fake account is low-activity, it might be culling entries just as a result of that algorithm.
