I don't know I asked around in some of the groups because I can post, I just can't comment and apparently Facebook is doing this to a lot of people for no apparent reason
Facebook is getting to the point that you have to walk on eggshells now. Facebook has turned into digital North Korea now

John, I know that you and Lynx are friends but as a Bill Gates user, I would not recommend Linux especially since you’re running a business (I think).

Unless you want to run your business like the Amish. :cool:

Oh I use Windows on the other computer, the one I use for making soundtracks and playing video games.

It never, ever, EVER gets online though.

Facebook has blocked me from commenting in groups. I can comment on my own timeline but not in groups.
I get a message saying you are temporarily blocked from using this feature
Typically when you're in Facebook jail, you will get a message from Facebook showing you which comment violated their community standards and how long the suspension is going to last.
One guys on Facebook said the same thing happened to him and it lasted a week.
Since I have received no input from Facebook I guess all I can do is wait it out.
If it lasts any more than a week then I don't know it's a 30-day block.
Have any of you here had this experience?
If it weren't for the fact that I'm on the admin team in an interracial mingling group and have been there for some years, I would probably just delete my whole Facebook account

Can you contact them and ask what's going on?

Yet another example of the harm that granting censors immunity can cause. The problem is legal and the solution is to remove the immunity granted by Section 230.

Here is the offensive section (link below) that provides them immunity for their censorship, and note the "whether or not such material is constitutionally protected" part:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/230

(c)Protection for “Good Samaritan” blocking and screening of offensive material
(1)Treatment of publisher or speaker
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

(2)Civil liability
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of—
(A)any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected; or
(B)any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1).[1]
