4 years ago How is status on this? I've try to shared it and I don't know if it is related with the new Messenger Update but I don't see any alert or information about why my link wasn't shared.
It's only when I click on the link that I go to the Community Standards page but I don't see where to tell them that our page doesn't go against those standards.
Maybe we could contact Heather, I know she knows how to handle this things.

No update. I sent a report and received no answer.

Facebook is extremely opaque as to why they block sites. You can read more about it here: https://johnfowler.co/facebook-blocked-my-website/.

3 years ago I did nothing but this is now fixed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not like we are dying to post on Facebook, but being blocked means that we cannot share links to the website or the TV on Messenger.
The domain name has been blocked from the first day. At first, we thought it was sheer repression and that we should just remind them that we are not a cult, but it's seems that Facebook blocking pages arbitrarily is not something terribly rare. We are certainly not violating their Community Standards, so, what can we do?
Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed method to get the domain name unblocked. Not even to reach Facebook. So our only chance is to report via different means and accounts that there is a mistake in their blocking of https://bonfire.link.
What we can do is trying to share the link on Facebook or Messenger and click on "let us know". If you don't feel madly inspired, feel free to copy&paste this:
As per this guide, there are two other options: 1) trying to run a ad campaign on Facebook and 2) use a service like Unblock My Website. But I don't think we need this so desperately as to pay money for.
