I'm not doubting that this happened, but it seems like it must be some strange mistake or was an act of moderation by whatever community you posted this in.
Facebook specifically targeting distrowatch would be the most absurdly petty use of Facebook's resources. Have you tried linking to distrowatch elsewhere?
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoOf course it's a mistake, that's why it's good it ended up on FB - some of the folks there will read it and fix it, hopefully within a couple of hours. There is no other, official way of dealing with this kind of abuse on their part (apart from clicking "I disagree" which means nothing if you are a single person, and the process is not transparent anyway), so HN/tweets with high-profile accounts seem the only option.
- bopolissimus2 5y agoas I write this, your post was 13 hours ago. It is now 8:15PM in California and this is still happening. It could be a mistake, sure. And maybe they need 24 hours to have changes roll through their servers. FB being FB though, I'll assume evil before I assume incompetence.
- bopolissimus2 5y agoHeh, and sending "testing: distrowatch.com" in FB messenger is also blocked.
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoWell, it's still there. It means this post didn't get enough upvotes on HN and they won't unblock the URL. Shame.
