FacebookExternalHit not that "bad"

[Atherel]

I noticed that the FacebookExternalHit bot is included in the list of blocked agents. This user agent is utilized when a user shares a link on a Meta platform to generate a preview image and accompanying text for display. To date, I have not encountered any issues related to this user agent. See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/web-crawlers/

The only "bad" thing is that it may ignorie paths in the robots.txt. But I think blocking that bot may have unwanted side effects.

Ah sorry, I used the search function before posting but somehow must have missed them.
