There has been a change to my username on edseldopefan.org social media. We are now “heytocristina”. Read all about it right here.
The main reason for the change is to clearly distinguish my fansite’s social media presence from Edsel’s. By using my name, it makes it clear that you’re interacting with me (Cristina)-not Edsel or anyone affiliated with him. While I thought this was obvious (please see our disclaimer), the confusion has happened often enough that I felt it needed to be addressed.
This change was long overdue, but Facebook made it clear just how necessary it was. I was auto-flagged and placed in Facebook jail for “impersonation” after posting a reminder that my website is not an official source. Ironically, I was also explaining the name change to avoid this exact issue! My account was quickly reinstated after an appeal, but the incident underscored the importance of updating my social media usernames.
To be clear: My site should never be taken as an official source. The only official sources are dopetheband.com and their social media. I encourage you to go these sites, as your time is better spent there.
I apologize for any inconvenience, but I believe this change is the best step forward. My goal is to support Edsel without causing any confusion or distraction, so I acted quickly to resolve the situation.
Love you lots, Cristina xoxo
