Lol, you will not believe this... This is NO JOKE! Real Talk Life Story about Centralization! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Hi dear Steemians,

today I had another very weird experience with the biggest centralized social network (I think you know the name xD) and I just have to share this with you, because Im sure that many of you wouldnยดt believe this!

Pre-Information:

There are a few Steemit groups on Facebook, which are created especially for sharing links of Steemit blog articles and I have created my own closed group called "Steemit Support Group" last year.

Here you can find the direct link to my Steemit group on Facebook, where you are allowed to share your Steemit blog links: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SteemitSupportGroup/

Now to the story of today:

As always I wanted to share 1-2 of my latest blog articles in some of the CLOSED Facebook groups, where everyone is welcome to just post links of Steemit articles. At first I shared my article with the title "๐Ÿ“ท Steemit Monthly Author Challenge - Day 19/Day 2: A traditional Berliner "Spรคti"! :-)" and it worked as usually.

Normally Im sharing my articles in many more Steemit groups, not only in the closed ones, there are many more on Facebook and I never had problems...

Today I even just wanted to share two articles only in the closed groups, but already after I have posted in 3 of the closed groups, it happened...

My Facebook Account is blocked to post in groups and to join new groups too! xD

I thought this is a joke, because Im doing this since many years and my account was never blocked, because this kind of groups where Im sahring links, are especially for promotions... ^^

So I tried to post another article in my OWN closed "Steemit Support Group", because I wanted to share our new @teamberlin blog introduction post with the name "Hey Steemit! We are the #TeamBerlin and this is our Introduction Post! โœŒ"...

Guys, you will not believe this, thatยดs why I have taken a screenshot for you, just watch this:

Im not allowed to post in my own closed Steemit Support Group!!!??? WTF, I thought Im the administrator!! xD

But this is even not the top of the hill, look at the next screenshot... I just wrote a normal comment under a facebook post by @ablie and yes it was blocked, because this is "Spam"!

I think someone really has to explain me what is spam, even if I should know it as an online entrepreneur! ;-)


You have to know, that you could say that I have "worked for Facebook" since many years and now they want to block me, lol? Of course not as an employee or something like this, but I have supported this company a lot indirectly, because Im an Internet Marketer since 6 years now and I could write a huge list with things how Facebook made many profits with my time & work... ---

I think the block is not forever and I made a objection with my opinion, but this experience was very disappointing for me, thatยดs why I wanted to share this with you.

I already had another ever more worse experience with another of the big social networks in 2016, where my account was deleted forever, shortly before I reached 1 Million profile views and I was not able to do anything against this decision, even now with a lawyer... ๐Ÿ˜—

And yes, my profile at this social network was deleted without an explanation, after I have shared some Steemit articles there... --- ๐Ÿ˜ฒ (Im not talking about Facebook, if you just scrolled down to this sentece here)


I donยดt want to write more about my personal opinion to this topic here for now and I will let you know, when when (or maybe "if") my facebook account is allowed to post in groups again. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

The last sentence I just want to say is: I LOVE STEEMIT & STEEM ON EVERYONE!!! ๐Ÿ˜Š โœŠ


Best regards from Berlin and hear you in my next article!

The things we know they do are terrible, what we don't know they are doing with the data yet is what scares me the most. Its why I shut my account down 2 years ago. Steem on!

wtf is this man? is it a bug of facebook or something?

ย  ยท ย 7 years agoย (edited)

I donยดt think so @skapaneas, but we will see... xD

ย  ยท ย 7 years agoย 

It seems wierd ...and i think its of a bugs of facebook.....

ย  ยท ย 7 years agoย (edited)

Could be and yes they say itยดs only "temporarily". But can you post Steemit links in facebook groups in the moment @amanrazz, more than 3 times, without getting blocked? If yes, itยดs this is no bug, because everyone should have this bug.

ย  ยท ย 7 years agoย 

I am not sure but it might be a coincidence. Facebook have made their algorithms a bit more strict to prevent people from spamming groups , I do not think they are specifically targeting steemit, well if they are that is very good news for us, they are starting to take notice haha

ย  ยท ย 7 years agoย (edited)

Haha yes, Im sure that they have noticed us, but not only until now, the eye is everywhere... xD ;-) Yes, maybe itยดs a good thing, that they are preventing the people in my own closed group against my spam posts, Haha. ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‰ But why blocking my normal comment, without link on a private profile of a friend? Ok, maybe because Im already a "Spammer" for the algorithms... ๐Ÿ˜‚

@datageek, look at this, I have tried to post in my own closed group today again... xD:

To share a Steemit post in my own closed Steemit Support Group for sharing links is "Spam" ! :D But everyone else can post in my group, only Im not able to post, even if Im the admin... xD

I think you used a word that is considered by Facebook spam.

ย  ยท ย 7 years agoย (edited)

Yes maybe @luciancovaci, but the only word would be Steemit in this case... My post in the group only included the title of my Steemit article and the link.

Wonderful dear...Thanks for sharing it...
