Gregory's Server@CiaraNi I agree! In particular, when organizations or artists etc use Facebook or Instagram as only "communication" channel and force you to register at an advertisement platform to get more information, is kind of ignorant and attests to an indifferent attitude towards their target group.

@CiaraNi this is, to put it mildly, an impertinence, and the fact that they do not accept the exchange can certainly be legally contested under these conditions.  @CiaraNi @silberspur I wish I could get used to people limiting their markets like this, but I'm amazed every time. @silberspur @CiaraNi I've gone the other way. If someone messages the cafe FB page the auto reply tells them to phone (gives number) or email (gives address) because I don't have the FB app on my phone & FB got rid of browser support for messaging. I also have a distaste for a few random unelected middle-to-older-ish aged people I don't know, who happen to be decent at Facebook, dictating how all this is run. (and a personal bump with them from me making a nice web map of the local scarecrow hunt for fun, trying to share it to the Facebook, and them promptly banning me *I assume* (no transparency) because it's a link they don't recognise.) |
@silberspur It is a short-sighted policy, I think - it excludes entire groups. I needed to return something recently and discovered that the little local shop has no regular opening hours and no sign with opening times. I finally succeeded in catching it open and was told the 14-day return period was up. When I politely said I had tried several times before but they had no advertised opening hours, they said 'we post them each week on Instagram'.
