So far my micro.blog posts to Facebook are not being counted as Spam but this case seems to be effecting a few peopleā¦ hmmm I wonder if third party posting in FB is being penalised in anyway.

@adamprocter There's long been a suspicion that Facebook gives API posts a lower rank in the algorithm, but experiments to prove it have been inconclusive.
@adamprocter problem with Facebook is one can trust nothing they say on what it does or doesnāt do. Wonāt be surprised if the algorithm penalizes posts from API ā they would want people to be present on the platform.
@amit that sounds like yet another reason to not be on that platform. If they are restricting your āreachā based on your consumption of their adverts, thatās even worse than most imagined.
@dgold Yes, I realised long back that that platformās priority of keeping me all-time involved and my intention of dipping in as when required just didnāt gel well. So deleted the account right then. Lifeās been simpler - with one less distraction.
@adamprocter Yep true. But at least hasnāt (yet) killed the third party clients where I can stay away from an algorithm. Chronological is fine, as there is no bias or business decisions at play. Day thatās out from the platform, am out too.
@amit šš½ I deleted mine couple of months ago (been on it since 2005) and havenāt missed it at all.
