Last November, I made a brief post to Facebook about Mastodon. Mastodon is an open-source and open social network, which is decentralized and all about user control instead of corporate control. I’ve blogged about Mastodon and the dangers of Facebook before, but rarely mentioned Mastodon on Facebook itself.

Today, I received this notice that Facebook had censored my post about Mastodon

It doesn't matter what the niche is. What matters is where you spend your time. If you are posting regularly on Mastodon, you aren't on Facebook. That means they can't show you ads and they can't charge premium rates for advertising. They would logically deem any social media site as competition, even Twitter.
