As I occasionally do, I visited my diocese’s facebook page to see what was new. I realized that I am blocked from commenting and/or liking anything on the page. I am not sure why. I can’t think of any reason anywhere on facebook. I’ve been involved in some discussion of recent church scandals on TWITTER, but they didn’t touch that account. I’m hurt. I feel less valued. Of course, because I am actually the person who created the social media for my parish, I’m a little amused, too. I wrote to two priests- silence there also. This is the DIOCESE. I am a chronically ill person with no self esteem. What do I do now? Calls to diocesan offices not returned.
 
Is everyone blocked from commenting or liking?

I know my brother has his page set up so that no one can comment or write on his wall. It’s in the settings.
 
How about if you post us a link to their Facebook page? If we’re all blocked from liking or commenting, you’ll know that it’s the setting they’ve chosen.
 
I wouldn’t take it personally if you haven’t said anything wrong. Maybe recent events just have them on the defensive. We’d need more context in order to really make a fair assessment.

Some pages don’t allow commenting by anyone except the admins. Are you sure you are personally blocked?
 
I’ve occasionally blocked somebody my mistake on our parish Facebook page. It could just be an accident. Can you contact the page administrator?
 
I cannot contact anyone thru the page. Two calls to two different people in the communications office went unresponded to. It is the Orlando diocese facebook page.
 
Again, not allowed to put complete link here, but it is the Orlando diocese facebook page.
I checked with friends and they had no problems communicating on the page.
 
No, I’m in social media for my work. It isn’t that situation.
 
Principle. That’s why I didn’t “like” the page, either. Still, it does hurt for a diocese to do this.
 
I’m no expert on social media, don’t know much about it. I do know however that one may like and share things on other’s website/Facebook page. I offer you this; given the recent scandals and tarring and feathering in the media (and on forums such as this) I imagine dioceses are getting a lot of vitriolic “hate” mail/postings, etc. I know if I were the person in charge of the social media sites, I would block all outside “communication” simply because I didn’t want to waste time on the “haters” as the millennials like to call them.
 
Ah, I see comments are allowed.

I couldn’t begin to guess what’s up.
 
What kinds of things have you said in the past on FB? What have you been saying on Twitter about the Church?
 
Nothing on facebook. On twitter, I comment on the scandal and the quietness of our diocese. Not blocked on twitter
 
You are taking something personally that is not personal. You say you have no self esteem— and ask what you should do. I suggest stop posting about how you were wronged on Facebook and instead talk to a counselor to work on your esteem issues.
 
Have been doing that since traumatic event related to church happened. Taking it personally because I contacted other diocese friends and they are not blocked. I didn’t say or do anything on facebook.
