![]() So what did I learn from my 24 hour time out? First, I learned that artificial intelligence is not actually all that smart. Facebook was letting me chat via Messenger like I wasn’t even in real trouble. If my mother grounded me, it was no friends, no phone, no contact. I could still use Messenger because Facebook is, frankly, terrible at discipline. I could not see posts or shares of trending topics or news articles. So I spent the next 24 hours grounded from social media’s largest and most venerable platform. Unfortunately, seconds later, it also assured me that, due to COVID-19, the chances of anyone reviewing my appeal were slim to “never going to happen in this lifetime, sister.” I may have paraphrased a bit, but that was the gist of things. The nice artificial intelligence assured me that my request would be taken “very seriously.” I received a “case identification” number. Not accessing ad accounts in the days before Christmas is not cool. If I can’t access Facebook, I cannot access the ad accounts I administer. The problem is that my 24 hour time out coincided with my job. If anything, Buttercream bullies me! I am the victim here! Problem Still, it did not seem likely that I had bullied anyone. Was that what put me over the edge? Poor goat parenting? The night before, I had posted a video of Buttercream, our roaming goat, running around the yard. Normally, I would have just laughed off my “24 hour ban.” Okay, I did laugh. Still, I was asleep at the time, so my ability to have offended the Facebook police that deeply seemed unlikely. Well, if I was going to be cranky enough to bully someone, that time sounds just about right. Apparently I “bullied” someone at 6:30 a.m. Yes, me, the rabble rouser of middle aged soccer moms, was banned for “bullying, hate speech or otherwise violating community standards.” So, imagine my shock and surprise when I was banned from Facebook recently - for bullying. Even when “someone” is super, duper challenging. I don’t want to be known as someone who is nicer in print than in real life. I dot my “i’s” and cross my “t’s” and try not to say anything online that I wouldn’t say to someone’s face. We work best together when he is the artist, and I am the social media director, and we never, ever share a desk.Īll this to say that I’m one of those “online personalities.” I have friends and family and followers. Wonderful’s business takes up a lot of my time. My hand is probably permanently curved into the shape of my mobile phone. ![]() ![]() In my world, that’s called “dereliction of duty.”ĭaily, I am on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, TikTok and whatever the denizens of the internet think up next. My friends go on “social media fasts” and wax rhapsodic on how freeing it is. I am also someone who makes a living in public relations, when I am not bothering all of you. ![]() I’m a “like” obsessed 52-year-old, thank you very much. No, I am not a “like” obsessed 15-year-old.
