I've had a pixelfed link in bio for a while, and luckily nothing has happened to it. But I guess if I were to put it there now, they would not allow it.
Might be worth checking with the EU regulators. I would be pretty shocked if this did not violate the Digital Markets Act, and that has some fairly beefy financial penalties.
blocking is rampant and infuriating in most corporate networks; I'm unsure when it became so evident, it's literally like they don't care anymore.
My (then) Twitter account fell through a cliff one day, it was clear as day. Tools didn't report me as shadow banned but my tweets were being hidden, my contacts reached out about it.
It started around the time I started posting about moa.party which we kept alive at the time, and social.coop.

I tried this. Posted last night. Checked back this morning, then from a different account in an (I hope) anonymous browser (chromium vs Firefox, to try to further block cookie sharing, etc.).
The link is there. There is no preview of the image, but the link works.
(Is this confirmed by something other than a screenshot from a post? Unfortunately, sharing false information is not the exclusivity of the authoritarians)

in reply to David B. Himself • • •@DavidBHimself It's not a lie, I independently confirmed it yesterday after reading that post.
My post read: "Anyone here use Pixelfed?" Followed by a link to pixelfed.social.
Once Facebook pulled up a link card for Pixelfed, I deleted the URL text.
Three seconds later, a full screen error message appeared stating "We removed your post".
I tapped the "See why" button.
It claimed "This post may use misleading links or content to trick people to visit, or stay on, a website."
Tapping "See rule" led to an explanation that the link was (allegedly) spam.
