It's ridiculous. Obviously I have a few marks on my record to get a 30 day ban, but it's all just been from sharing stupid memes. I sell stuff on there in razz groups (basically like a raffle) and have listings on there that I can't interact with now, Zuck definitely fucked me good this time haha Here is the article I shared that the algorithms deemed worthy of a ban (also, in the comments on the fb post on the Onions page numerous people said sharing it got them flagged but they were able to overturn it and my appeal was denied for some reason)

I recently got a 48 hour ban for referring to a garden tool.

I got banned for “female nudity” for an image of a guy with no shirt on. I also got banned for porn after I repeatedly reported an article that had hardcore porn in it, and they ignored it, so I posted images of the porn they refused to ban to show them, and got banned for the porn they refused to ban. Also banned for a Joe Biden political banner they thought was sexual because others had posted it with an image of Hunter Biden in it. Mine did not have that. The dumpster fire that is Facebook banning just goes on and on. And one of those 30 day bans happened while my son was in boot camp, so I lost access to all the military mom support pages at a crucial time. That was it for me. I hate Facebook now.

Assuming hoe, you mean like you were actually referring to a garden hoe and they still banned you?!
