I only post stuff like that, nothing fuzzy on my FB page; so far no warnings. Jeez. Freedom of speech, huh?

The cyborgs at FB did me a favor. It was a colossal waste of time. More time now for Substack and Substack Notes.

I canceled my Facebook account 3 years ago it was the best thing ever. I use Twitter even less now too.

Well fuck them! I post all the same stuff, minus the nice pet photos, and they haven't banned me yet..... I believe that happened a few years ago to Tim Johnson, but somehow he recovered it.

There was more to this banishment than I wanted to go into in my post. I was warned a few times, in connection with my sharing the Twitter Files updates and the Matt Taibbi/Jacob Siegel articles and links. My FB profile was even renamed with a pseudonym that I only noticed when I uploaded a new profile picture. It went downhill from there...if you consider getting banished from FB downhill.

How bizarre... that's all I post - Aaron Mate and the Twitter files, and Taibbi. (not that anybody reads my stuff, but I use it as a library). Now that I think about it, Aaron's latest article on how we were lied to about Ukraine... I tried twice to "share" it to my FB page, and it's not there.

I received a few warnings, particularly on our VFP FB page. Strangely enough, I got one for sharing a My Lai Massacre anniversary article - "insensitive", didn't comply with "standards".

It's OK, though. Liberating.

Vic's got a FB account, so I can keep up with family and friends.
