Facebook has changed how this page is being distributed.
Not gradually. Not accidentally. Not as a minor technical adjustment.
The change is disruptive.
Posts that once reached followers consistently are no longer reaching them the same way. Early engagement patterns that were reliable for over a year have collapsed. The rhythm that connected writer and reader has been interrupted.
This is not a content shift.
The tone has not changed.
The subject has not changed.
The frequency has not changed.
The format has been tested in every variation.
The outcome is the same.
Reduced distribution.
And when distribution is reduced, continuity breaks.
Readers assume silence means decline.
Writers are forced to question momentum.
Trust built through consistency is strained.
That is friction.
Facebook’s feed is no longer simply delivering posts to the people who chose to follow them. It is filtering them. It is narrowing visibility. It is deciding how much of a connection is allowed to pass through.
That is not neutral.
When visibility is restricted, it does not just affect numbers. It affects perception. It makes a living conversation appear weaker than it is. It creates artificial gaps between posts and response. It alters the natural feedback loop between writer and reader.
Over time, that harms ethos.
Ethos is built on consistency.
Ethos is built on rhythm.
Ethos is built on predictable presence.
When a platform interferes with that rhythm, it interferes with credibility. Not because the writer changed, but because the delivery changed.
The damage is subtle but real.
It creates doubt where there was none.
It creates silence where there was none.
It creates the illusion of disengagement where engagement may still exist.
And that illusion reshapes perception.
This is not about disagreement.
It is not about topic.
It is not about popularity.
It is about distribution control.
Facebook has tightened the gate.
When the gate tightens, conversation narrows. When conversation narrows, trust strains. When trust strains, long-term continuity is disrupted.
That is what is happening.
Not an inconvenience.
Not a temporary dip.
A structural disruption.
People deserve to know that when posts appear quiet, it may not be because no one cared.
It may be because the platform chose not to deliver them the way it once did.
That matters.
Because when the channel is altered, the relationship is altered.
And relationships built over time should not be quietly throttled by architecture.
