It was a bot that flagged it basically facebook has a whole list of sites that they have black and grey listed. I am assuming steemit is grey listed as they then turned your post back on. They didi the same to every post i have made from here to there and they love not showing the images either. The thing is Facebook isn't there to "serve the people " it is literally a data mining site they collect every little bit of your information ad content and sell it for a whopping $2+ to the highest bidder usually not over $5. All their algorithms are geared to keeping yo on their site and now the new feed algorithms even show you the posts they think are most likely to keep you n the site.
So of course any site that they see as harmful to their revenue will get a hard time or will be bought up (as we saw with instagram ). Steemit is a threat to that basically we are at a crossroads in so many aspects of society. Humanity has not been this polarised in decades and this polarisation be it political or social always are a forbearer of major shifts and changes within humanity.
When it comes to social media there are two movements at the fork of the road the decentralised peeps who are trying to bring the internet back to a more free and fairer state and the corporations and conglomerates who want to cement and expand upon the status quo.
Even though these corporations with all their money and power are scary the truth is what it always was, no tyrant can rule an unwilling people indefinitely. There other truth is sadly however that most people love their warm and fuzzy complacency. Having leaders to blame and a handbook to follow is so much easier then to look at the world and our own actions and motivations under the unkind lense of of reality. Truth hurts but it also strips away the rot and allows for the healthy and new to blossom.
Humanities rot has long passed critical mass and it will either be stripped of the decay or fall into it's inevitable demise. It really is up to the individual at this point in history to take up the fight of what is important to them. The corporations, power hungry and planet eaters are not going to save us! There s no hero coming we need to be our own saviours in all that is going wrong at the moment. We need to band together with other like minded and champion the causes and things we want changed. In the case of journalism, art and social media the decentralised platforms are doing crucial ground work.
So fuck Facebook and what it did, use it as you need it and put your love and heart where you are appreciated. Build your home here and do what you set out to do, offer the world the pills of truth they are reluctant to swallow.
