We’re moving to a new city and the only community I can find for it is on #Facebook.
So, as much as I don’t want to, I decide to make a Facebook account again just to access this community…
(This is why communities must not be locked behind the walled gardens of surveillance capitalists. But even if we create fedi/Small Web alternatives, we still need to let the existing ones know they exist somehow.)
…Anyway, long story short, I can’t – they’ve #blacklisted my name :)
O hai, Mark!
… But their name filter is diacritic-sensitive… so I give you my doppelganger – or should I say doppelgänger – now with 50% more Frenchness…
*sigh*
PS. To pronounce my name correctly, all the vowels would have accent graves on them.
@aral lol, mon dieu
@aral crappy FB move though
@grob Hey, it’s their corporate space, they can do whatever they want
