Facebook has blocked Dreamwidth

[andrewducker]

I discovered, about an hour ago, that all of my posts on Facebook which were links to Dreamwidth had vanished. Suddenly gone as if they'd never existed.

I checked with Denise (one of the owners of Dreamwidth) to find out if she knew about it, and discovered that Facebook have stuck Dreamwidth on a block list.

With no explanation as to why, no way to contact them, and no appeal.

This is unbelievably frustrating. And the kind of centralised, autocratic, opaque decision making which I loathe. Tens of thousands of active users, unable to share blog posts with Facebook (which, let's face it, is where most of my friends go for their socialising).

If anyone knows anyone who works at Facebook, do see if you can prod them into getting an explanation...

Edit: All working fine now.

I did the debug report, which initially prompted a message saying "We can't review this website because the content doesn't meet our Community Standards. If you think this is a mistake, please let us know." I followed the 'let us know' bit, which was a link, and was able to submit a report there in a text box. I'm not very optimistic, but at least we've tried something.
