Fine Journalists Abandoning Facebook
Hey there. So what happened? Well, I’m in trouble — again. This time I’m in Facebook jail for 30 days. As soon as a meme or one of my articles hits 1 million views, Facebook cuts my readership back to the bone. My problem is that I believe humor is vital to balancing out the grim news of today.
One reader said:
‘I posted a meme about a cute baby sloth. Facebook didn’t like the word '“sloth.”’
That was when I decided to move to Substack, and I hope you will join me here. Many fine established journalists have discovered Substack, which is far friendlier. Facebook’s standards are so arbitrary that it is impossible to anticipate them.
If you want to spread the word about my new home, that would be great. That will help me change the world for the better! I promise you will like it as much — maybe more.
I genuinely appreciate your loyalty. Thank you,
Gloria
