Have any of you still on Facebook experienced this?
The Facebook info starts at about 1:17.

I have not experienced it yet. It is just a matter of time as this is a tool they will use to silence anyone who is not going along with the "Democrat" leftist agenda to bring the USA to a state of full socialism/communism. This is a major step in trying to silence the free speech of anyone not reciting the opinions of the current party in charge and the Marxist media that supports them.
I have suspended my account. I am tired of reading news stories and commenting opinions and then getting attack for my faith, being a pastor, being white, straight, conservative, etc. The Left has become radicalized, and they are using both the BLM and LGBTQ communities to further separate people by demonizing all whites, Christians, conservatives, etc. I am sick of it, but they aren't going to stop.

If they hate you, then you're doing your job.

I am not sure I follow. I get that Jesus said we would be hated because the world first hated Him. But, He was also addressing His followers who were actually getting out and building the kingdom. Most believers sit on the sidelines and do little or no kingdom work at all and yet they are still hated and slammed even if they stay quiet.

Facebook is also going to turn Instagram into something more akin to TikTok. So, I just deleted my Instagram account and uninstalled the app. I wasn't using it anyway.

I turned by FB back on out of boredom. I am glad that I did, though. The car rescue where we got our Albus and Belle two years ago are doing a big fundraiser. I wouldn't have known. So, since they had a Chewy.com wish list, I bought some 9 Lives wet food and some kitten milk powder.
I took the time to remove all new sources from my feed. I also deleted my Instagram account as I don't use or enjoy it.

I haven't gotten the warning. Does that mean I'm the extremist friend?

I must not understand what you are trying to say here, since the way I read it would be akin to Jesus (and his followers) never "hanging" with the sinners. If the Christians leave who will share The Truth with them? It matters not whether they want to hear it or respond nicely, does it?

Jesus and the disciples didn't sit in one place and bang their heads against a wall. Jesus told the disciples to shake the dust off their feet from the place that rejected the gospel. They came, they preached the gospel and if it was rejected, they moved on.

This exactly! I wonder how many people would actually claim that they came to know Jesus thru comments on Facebook. I would think it wouldn't be a lot.....if any. Besides, we should be trying to minister to people face to face and not electronically. All we are doing, for the most part, is making entertainment for Christians and helping those who are not committed to the church stay home so they can get their warm fuzziest without lifting a finger to be kingdom builders. The pandemic has shown this.
