#3If anyone knows someone at Facebook who can get an explanation of why, that would be great.
This is a blogging site with tens of thousands of users, around for years.

Yeah, it's an actually good blogging site.
Main thing it has against it is the lack of an app.
(And that Facebook has just blocked it)

#7I wonder how long it's going to take for small developers to draw the line and stop voluntarily feeding the beast that is facebook and other centralized media companies. The feedback loop is continuously going to be against them, since they are basically training their users to use social media for discovery instead of visiting them directly. I moved my former facebook games away from their platform and even from their login to have peace of mind. A smaller community is healthier, and it will still be there when ordinary users get their brains completely fried from online bickering.

#8If Dreamwidth has any aspects of a social network whatsoever, I am sure the AG preparing anti-trust litigation against Facebook would like to hear about this blocking.
Re: Facebook has blocked Dreamwidth
#91. Is Facebook also blocking creation of new posts with links to Dreamwidth?
2. Are other Facebook users with posts linking to Dreamwidth also experiencing this deletion of posts?
Edit: Yes and Yes.

Curious about why? I rarely use apps if there's a web page available that doesn't suck.
This looks more like "Main thing it has against it is the website predates responsive, mobile friendly web design"
EDIT - actually aside from a few glitches it's not awful on mobile - and a random community I tried seemed to work fairly well.
