I flagged it when it first showed up because “Facebook ban on discussing Linux” is obviously bullshit, it took me half a minute to confirm The Linux Foundation was posting about Linux as recently as an hour ago.
I can believe DistroWatch the website got blocked by Facebook for whatever reason and I can sympathize, but exaggerating it to something obviously false doesn’t do them any favors. I think the title needs to be changed if it’s allowed to stay up.
- amatecha 2y agoIt's not just distrowatch that is blocked, so it's not "obviously bullshit": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42840143 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42840143
- oefrha 2y agoThat’s still not remotely a “ban on discussing Linux”. “Some Linux-related links or discussions are blocked on Facebook” may be a reasonable title. Also, according to a recent comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42847474 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42847474 it’s not at all clear if these blocks are related.
