I joined mostly for FB Marketplace. Recently I was blocked from Marketplace. Once they block you, there is no recourse that I could find. One can send a message in protest but I think it's the algorithm. 01:00:54 E O'Driscoll: A few days ago FB unblocked me. No reason/explanation. Note that my conduct on FB was not in question. I don't troll and I have only 3 "friends" who are all relatives of mine. 01:01:10 E O'Driscoll: FB is a swamp. 01:01:23 Stew Bruce: Reacted to "FB is a swamp." with 💩 01:01:30 Tom Trottier: I forward bad emails to: "BEWARE- Fraud/virus/phishing message", "BEWARE- Fraud/virus/phishing message", "BEWARE- Fraud/virus/phishing message", "BEWARE- Fraud/virus/phishing message", "BEWARE- Fraud/virus/phishing message", "BEWARE- Fraud/virus/phishing message", "BEWARE- Fraud/virus/phishing message" us6-1104908fb5-c9d323d171@inbound.mailchimpapp.net 01:01:34 Alice Nakanishi: Yes, I agree that the PayPal e-mail be deleted.
