  I wonder if you can still post to Facebook by email. Having this automatically loop would make me happy. I don’t have an account so can’t check and the instructions for doing it all seem dated.

    Seems like that is discontinued: https://www.lifewire.com/post-updates-and-upload-photos-by-email-in-facebook-1170534 https://www.lifewire.com/post-updates-and-upload-photos-by-e... Never knew that was an option, but shutting it down just seems logical when you see the aggressive lock-in they are doing.

    > I wonder if you can still post to Facebook by email. Having this automatically loop would make me happy. Nope, and you can't reply to messages either (you used to). It's actually so bad that they don't even show you the message content in the email notifications, to better lure you back to their site. Whatever engineer who worked to implementing those regressions was being an asshole.

      It's the same for LinkedIn and it really sucks.

  This is also how I do it and one of the reasons I encourage people to own their own domain and email (among other reasons). I have used dreamhost since 2007 but I am really not happy about their recent move to a non-foss webmail. (to atmail from squirrel) Besides that though they are pretty awesome. So any service that feels slightly abusive gets its own email like that, and then ignored usually.
