Literally hard to get out of beyond network effects, too. Talk about GDPR all you like but I know of at least one person whose account got reactivated after deleting it and then promptly showed up on People You May Know This is fraud. Promi

It's also just that Reddit is the most centralized decentralized thing ever Especially considering... look what Huffman did with Apollo and other third party extensions. The man doesn't give a fuck. How hard is it to brigade Reddi

You can pay for Meta Verified. I think you'll still get banned I'm getting very tired of this trope. Businesses need to do better. End of story

I get sad because people liked Insta pre-Zuckerberg. Like, it was growing. People seem to couch it in terms of "They had 12 employees. They weren't going anywhere". But they were. Zuckerberg just wanted to enlargen his war ch

What? Sorry, how much more sarcasm should I have in one post? It's clear that I don't like what he did And sometimes I outright wasn't being sarcastic. But my point was some people say "he was right for saying that"

Am I the only one that can't fall asleep to music? I need human voice rhythms, so podcasts, or whatever. The downside is not learning anything from the podcast because I'm asleep and it works its way into dreams sporadically

Oh no, but he was "making a point". Or he was young. He was "right" that it's bad to give up your info (so Zuck hammered home the point by scraping email contacts and using it to populate People You May Know. for yo

It's in his (Mitnick's) autobiography Ghost in the Wires. In his telling of the story they put him in a more restrictive environment exactly because of the reason given (launching nukes by whistling into a phone)

Yes but AFAIUI Mitnick was upset Shimomura had the full weight of the police on his side, right? He used techniques that shouldn't have been available to him Interesting fact about Shimomura, he was a student of Feynman's

How about proper account support? Not getting banned while the racist page you report 'doesn't violate community standards'? How about being able to actually see people's posts in the feed?
