Facebook Legit Hates Crypto and Steemit
Hi, my name is Luke aka @sixexgames. And I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with Facebook. It's not creepy enough that I get ads for products I talk about but have never searched before or places that I walk through. But now they have some new algorithm that keeps blocking people from posting links related to crypto.
First off, why in the flipping eff do they care? Sure, there are some scams in crypto, but is it their responsibility to "protect" us?
I run a Facebook group related to free airdrops. I get huge lists of links in my admin backend saying they've been flagged as spam. I had a friend recently ask what the url of my group is. So I tried to IM him this https://www.facebook.com/groups/freecrypto/ But guess what? It blocks internal links too! 
And then I had a whole fiasco with posting Steemit links on FB groups. (I wrote about that here https://steemit.com/steemit/@sixexgames/locked-out-of-facebook-for-posting-steemit-links-need-help-advice)
Anyway, I really just needed to rant. Sorry. If anyone has had similar experiences or knows of any viable Facebook alternatives, let me know in the comments!
They delete every post i make that even has a youtube video or link in it. Yea, thankful we have Steemit, d.tube now a days. Centralized media is to censor prone.
Yo tambien fui marcado como spam en FB, por un post en que hacia comentarios generales sobre las inversiones en crypto monedas, no tiene enlaces y no nombro ninguna empresa de inversiones. De verdad Facebook raya en lo ridiculo.
I was also marked as spam in FB, for a post in which I made general comments about investments in crypto coins, has no links and did not name any investment company. Facebook really borders on the ridiculous.
No links? Jeeze that is ridiculous. I guess we shouldn't expect free speech there.
I suppose that the freedom of expression in FB will never have it.
Super creepy
Completely agree.
they're making facebook coin after all.
My facebook profile is covered in dust :-) Haven't been there for ages. IMO Facebook is a prison planet with billions of slaves wasting half of their life pointlessly spying on other people, counting worthless likes, and suffering more and more of low self esteem that they aren't the others who are showing off. Time will fly and in the next couple of years, the all will regret that they weren't where we are now! On Steem blockchain. Steem Rocks!!! Period :-)
Im pretty sure its because when people post links from sites and they are seen a lot and reported as spam facebook starts now to remove the posts. Funnily enough I seen that steemit is actually being advertised on facebook as paid ads.
Would it make any difference if you were to use a short link and see if that works??
They are afraid of crypto and platforms like steemit overtaking them. And they should be. However instead of fighting it, they should join the frey...

kinda ridiculous that they're that intrusive. they recently banned crypto ads and i agree with that. those so-called crypto experts are preying on innocent civilians. what they're doing to you don't make sense though. and the censoring of steemit links is almost illegal! i wouldn't be surprised if zuckerberg views steemit as a threat. full disclosure: i have fb stocks and steem (i purchased as an investment). i'm really hoping fb would create their own blockchain OR acquire steem
