I’m not entirely certain if I’ve landed in the right corner of the internet, but I have a feeling people here tend to get to the point much faster!

Everything was running perfectly smooth just a day or two ago—no complaints at all—and then, suddenly, this headache appeared out of nowhere.

Every single time I try to post a link on Meta leading back to my gaming site, Meta shuts me down with this specific message:
image

I actually reached out to the Meta Administrator to explain that there shouldn't be any issue here, but... well, silence. Not a single word back.

The strange thing is, this whole mess started right after I went through Akamai to activate an SSL certificate (the free version, of course).
I even tried deleting the certificate and reverting everything back to how it was originally, but Meta is still acting just as stubborn!

Now, if I log directly into my WordPress dashboard, everything works fine—I can run my games without a hitch.

So, does anyone know how I can convince Meta to take me off this "blacklist"?

Here is the link to my site: OVDHERE

P.S. Could the culprit perhaps be that some of the links within my posts are still using HTTP instead of SSL?

I can't say for sure, but maybe the issue lies with that .ga domain...

Oh, no way—that just can't be it! This is a free domain I picked up through Freenom, and I've been running it for nearly a year now. Plus, I have two other WordPress sites sitting on .ga domains, and they aren't giving me any trouble at all!

Just a quick correction to fix an error earlier.
It seems like every single WordPress site where we implemented the SSL certificate is hitting a wall with Meta sharing—kind of like what’s happening with those gaming sites. Honestly, I’m starting to panic about whether I should just migrate every single one of my pages to a brand-new domain? Social sharing on Meta is absolutely vital to me; it’s basically my entire advertising strategy!
But then again, is it really that simple to just pack up and move everything? It isn't just the technical migration itself that worries me—what about the existing visitors? You can't just expect them to magically find you at a new web address, right?
As far as the actual domain change goes, there won't be any real out-of-pocket costs—aside from the usual electricity bill, of course—since both the domain and the hosting are completely free...

I think I finally figured out why I ended up on the blacklist.

It turns out—completely by accident, mind you—that I had two separate Akamai accounts running simultaneously.
I activated one through my hosting provider's control panel, but then I went ahead and registered a second one using my personal email. Since my hosting account isn't tied to that same email address,
I somehow managed to register the exact same domain under two different Akamai profiles! It was a total mess, and honestly, that’s likely what caused all this confusion.

So, here is where things stand: I've gone ahead and wiped all my domains from Akamai. Now, I'm debating my next move—should I be smarter about this and just register a brand-new domain to start fresh? Or should I just sit tight with this current one and hope that Meta eventually pulls me off their blacklist?

What are the odds that
Meta actually pulls me off their blacklist, or
would it be more tactical to just go ahead and
switch up my domain name

It looks like everything is finally falling into place,
After I filed my appeal with Meta, things are back to normal at last!
