What happened
A Hacker News submission reports that Facebook Pages now require a paid subscription to post more than two links per month. The linked source is a Mastodon post, and the article body could not be read, so the price, tier names, and exact rollout date are unverified. The thread drew 356 points and 314 comments, which suggests the change is hitting people who use Pages for distribution.
Why it matters
If a Facebook Page is part of how you ship links to builds, devlogs, launch posts, or blog articles, a two-link-per-month cap is effectively a paywall on your cheapest distribution channel — check your Page's posting limits and decide whether to pay or move link posting to channels that don't meter posts. The tier pricing and whether the limit is account-wide or per Page is not confirmed in the text, so verify before budgeting.
Discussion angle
For anyone here who still posts product links to a Facebook Page: has your Page already been rate-limited, and what is the fallback channel you would move link distribution to if the cap is real?
