Is this project affiliated or owned by Facebook / Meta? In the HTML source:

  <meta property="article:publisher" content="https://www.facebook.com/"
Maybe a copy and paste leftover. I noticed it when I pasted the link in Telegram and the preview displayed the Facebook URL.

My guess would be that the default is to take a config car that's your Facebook link and append it to the end of that URL. But that's just a complete shot in the dark.

Apparently this has been fixed: https://github.com/owncast/owncast.github.io/commit/17223f35... I think the idea was to attribute the page to the author's Facebook profile in Facebook's graph.

Maybe they saw your comment?
