     @benroyce Yes. They confirmed it was a "bug" and you can currently post pixelfed links.

     @BeAware

     understood

     however

     any chance to shit on meta is a good time

     and i'm over strutting: "wow, great gif memeing ben, wow ben you're so awesome with your gif meme choice, damn ben you're a gif memeing god" (/s)

     so, i'll leave it up

     ps:

     who's to say they didn't block it on purpose, then when they get the streissand effect, they go "oh hey guys, it's just a bug, just a little bug guys, so, no big deal... guys?"

     @BeAware if you truly believe that Facebook automatically deleting posts that link to a competitor was a totally accidental bug, I've got an NFT of a bridge to sell you.

     @BeAware @benroyce Correction: They lied about it being a ”bug”, like their newly enacted policy of being a fucking lying cunt, as examplified by their leader’s performance put on at Joe Rogan’s house. Lying like it’s Russia is the new normal.
