My Facebook page has been suspended; I honestly don’t know why. I should have heard a yay or nay from my appeal three days ago. If I don’t hear anything within 180 days the suspension becomes permanent. Apparently I’m not alone; the Forbes article linked below says many legitimate accounts are being thrown out in the continuing AI bot purge. Another reason to hate AI?

It could be worse. r/facebook is full of people who’ve lost a decade or more of personal photos and contacts; the appeal process has probably choked on the volume. I haven’t lost anything other than the ability to see what you’re doing, and learning from environmental pages. On the other hand I’m not watching the monetisation of interactions drive online culture deeper into the cesspit every day, so the world has instantly become a brighter place.

I can’t access other Meta products (Messenger and Instagram) either so if you want to contact me please use email or the ‘Contact’ form here.

I’ll probably blog occasionally about what I’m making, but WordPress is too formal for quick ‘come for a walk and a bit of landscape history’ posts. If you miss any of that, let FB know.
I’ll be here making things or walking the hills whether or not I can share the experience with you.
