A Conversation With Facebook
I fought the law and the.. well, you know the rest
Hey there, your old pal Facebook here, we noticed that you might be having a mental health crisis of some sort.
What? No, why would you think… oh no, is this about that dumb comment I made on somebody else’s timeline weeks ago?
Yeah. So anyway, you’re banned.
Are you serious?
Listen, Community Standards are what they are.
But you failed to apply any context to the words. It’s not what you think.
Don’t care. You should see a health professional maybe. Or talk to somebody or whatever.
Oh good Lord. Fine, I’m appealing.
…Denied. Now we’re mad.
That’s not... What?
Now you also can’t use live video.
I don’t use that any-
Also no ads.
How would banning me from ads help my mental health?
This is for your own good.
No it isn’t! I mean even if I was in some crisis, which I’m not, how would telling me to go sit alone and have no contact help anything?
Tell you what, mistakes happen so we won’t restrict your account, you can still see stuff.
What mistakes?!
You’re getting worked up. We’re gonna head out and we’ll see you in a few days, yeah?
No hang on!
Great, great. Bye now.
Anyway, I’m back now. Did anyone miss me? This is why I have Substack. *sigh*
No worries friend. My blocked facebook account can't find its way to your blocked facebook account..... "proudly locked out since April 2022!" but I know where you hangout - and you know where to find me. Did love your conversation with facebook - - off of facebook. :)
So sorry. Did I just tell you this story this week or was it someone else??? Hmm. O memory loss! In 2020 a preacher friend from Canada "wished" I could come and preach for her and Canada had of course closed the border for Covid. I wrote back something along the lines of "You Canadians are pretty wise keeping us out." Facebook banned me for anti-Canadian speech. So random. All the very bad things I have written in my day ... fortunate because of memory loss I have forgotten most of them.
