I didn't want to make the owner of this message list upset so I thought I'd ask you privately. Do any of the Facebook forums approve messages faster? From what I see, they only approve them once a week. Will they no longer need to be approved after I become established and spend more time and have more posts?
Well, you asked publicly, and I'm by no means upset. The answer is that the Facebook algorithm is to do one thing, keep its users "engaged" as long as possible. Facebook is a time sink that serves advertisements. You aren't its customer, you're the product.
Delaying the display of useful, sought information keeps users engaged longer while they wait for it online or check back later looking for it.
