DistroWatch [has been told](https://mastodon.social/@distrowatch/113906430187241076) that Facebook is no longer blocking links to their site.

I have a Nostr profile on satellite.earth, and post stuff regularly about old tech. I see a little traffic driven to my personal site when I make a post, but don't seem to get any traction otherwise.
