Update: Facebook has restored my account and apologized. Until next time? The group is now open again.

Facebook unexpectedly removed me from its platform: ‘Your Facebook account has been permanently deactivated. You requested a review of this decision, but we have again determined that your account or its activities violate our Community Standards. You cannot request another review.’ I have done nothing wrong there in 15 years, have always adhered to all the rules as an admin, invested far too much time there, and now my ‘activities violate our Community Standards’? Because I posted a link to the Mongolia Longwave DX PDF on my own website in the A-DX Facebook group? And a week earlier, I forwarded a post from Icom to the group thanking visitors to the UKW Tagung for their interest? And for that, you get banned twice by Facebook? Others dump their rubbish on FB every day, spread AI nonsense as truth, talk trash – as many know, this also happens in other groups on the subject of radio, and nothing happens there. It’s a shame about the group and the 1,855 hobbyists, but I don’t know of any real alternative for sharing images and audio, which was my idea 15 years ago when I founded the group as an addition to the A-DX mailing list. So now, after my expulsion by Facebook, the group is closed.
