I was put in FB jail for putting the words white and trash too close together, Citing it was bullying/harassment. Yet when I reported a post with visible racial slurs and Nazi sympathizing I received a message within minutes that stated “this post does not go against any community standards”
I’m glad you recommended following on here because I am severely tired of Facebook and its white centered algorithms and guidelines.
I downloaded the substack app just to follow you. I'm outraged that you got shadow banned. Yesterday I was banned from commenting on any more pages because I commented too many times. Facebook is full of shit.
I got that on my lost & found pet group. I was the first to see the poster so I was giving her instructions on what to do step by step. She found a little Tuxie kitten in her yard on a really cold day.
They limited me to comment 15 minutes apart. Thankfully other people joined the post and took over for me. The kitten survived!❤️🩹🥲🥹
Me too, Francesca. I downloaded the substack app a couple of weeks ago, but subscribed to Closer to the Edge here today because of what FB did. I’ve been sitting here for a solid hour mourning that this writing is being blocked, that our country is going to shit fast and hard, and that our relief outlets are being pinched. Freaking UGH.
For some reason Facebook overlords went through my entire history on Facebook and tagged me for a comic I posted at Halloween, in 2017, of Frankenstein jump starting Bride of Frankenstein’s car with the posts on his neck. I was cited for “promotion of suicide”. Next in 2023 I said, “Trumper” in a post and was cited for “hate speech”, then before the election in 2024 another comic got me cited for promoting violence. It’s just crazy, and scary. All of that exists on thousands of other pages and none of it was close to what they claimed I was guilty of, appealing did no good either. All of this just happened at once two weeks ago.
This makes me so maaaaaaaaad! One of the few things I looked forward to every day on FB — following your writing. But here I now am. I’m not going to miss this. No way no how!
Facebook is junk - and is the enemy at this point, as they are complicit with the administration that has been knowingly and intentionally taking unconstitutional action. The problem is where to move and not destroy our existing online communities - and will they stay open?
I know you are on Bluesky and, here, as am I, but many are not.
You know, we could share your post's from here to facebook.
One more, a friend who feeds cat's and just about any other animal that comes along, posted a picture of an Armadillo walking away from him. They tagged it as nudity?😂
well, if we do that, then we can get blocked as well. i’m really ok with that. all my fb content was purged the week after the election. i’ve got like three posts on my wall, and deleting all my comments on everywhere, and then i’m done. about 15 minutes worth of work. fuck facebook.
Love your writing and share it widely on my FB and with friends here and overseas. Your piece on the first day of the Kennedy hearings was snort-inducingly brilliant and it helped me and I’m sure many others get through a grim week.
One thought- please keep posting on FB until they kick you off. The demographic of FB needs you to keep depression at bay. Many won’t care to or ge able to figure out Substack - witness all of the posts who thought that they *had* to pay to read. Don’t sell yourself short - right now you are keeping people hanging in and hanging on.
I, unfortunately, was one who thought this was a pay to read only platform. I have now figured out the actual situation and, thankfully, here I am! All the stuff I am seeing so far is definitely worthy of paid subs but my budget won’t allow. So, I am extremely grateful for everything I can freely see on here.
Keep letting us know how we can help. I’m thinking between here and BlueSky - these platforms are where many of us will be in the future. Keep up the brilliant writing in the meantime!!!
I play whackamole with cloned accounts. They used to actually do something . About half are now coming back saying it doesn’t go against standards. I’m talking long standing accounts who are mostly my fellow high school alumni from 1969.

I Just deleted 2 post's I did today because I'm sure they'll get pegged. Went to my trash and deleted completely.
They got me on a meme from 2023. It was about Ruby Ridge and the Waco siege. It was the 30th anniversary of the day the structure caught on fire.
Could have been because Trump and ATF were in Waco at the same time, not my fault he showed up when they did.
I'm pretty sure that's where he got the spiritual grift idea.
Why else would he stump in Waco?! He said it was a coincidence but turned around and said the Branch Davidian's support him.
😛Pfft, the guy living at Mount Carmel isn't a survivor. He wasn't even in Texas at the time. The survivor's don't support anything political.
He had Trump stuff everywhere in the survivor's church with a huge Trump election banner at the entrance gate.
So, no posting burning building memes for me. I don't think the dangerous ID code ever gets removed.
Did they say for how long?
I got 2 month's and I still have the dangerous code for a year and a half now.
Alex Jones plays a part in this story but that's a whole other story.
I'm sorry you got banned when certain other individuals can post whatever they want to. Smh
I'm not dangerous, I'm a cat lady!😾

Just went and searched tesla gearbox on facebook and one post after another came up showing it.
Yep.
I play whackamole with cloned accounts. They used to actually do something . About half are now coming back saying it doesn’t go against standards. I’m talking long standing accounts who are mostly my fellow high school alumni from 1969.
well, you were booted for talking shit about cheeto. they wrapped it around a meme, but here you are…..
Gave me the excuse I needed to finally get on board with substack.
I understand. Same thing happened to me and it too wS a cartoon meme.
I missed the post? Is it posted here?
Yep just looked it up. Still all over FB.
