@gildilinie I wish there was, like, a "soft report" tool for tracking accounts that behave weirdly.
I suspect they're bots of one variety or another.
It becomes politics if there are sufficient numbers of sufficiently horrible people who consider it an acceptable alternative.
"Immigrants are ruining our country", however, is not a political opinion -- it is counterfactual propaganda.
(I'm officially moving the goalposts. Yes, you could still argue it's political, but I have chosen my bridge from which to be dropped off.)
@dramypsyd "Personal pizza"? Like... does it come with ChatGPT or something? :blobcatthinking:

This is true to some extent -- but I don't think they would ban anyone for having their main web site in their profile, and then linking to other social media from there.
Either way, that is part of the evidence that these platforms have too much control -- and people who care about this stuff might want to avoid giving them even more.
@eff This is a clear example of why citizen journalism initiatives should always have their primary accounts on #PeerTube, with YT and other commercial outlets for backup and publicity purposes only.
@Sablebadger No doubt; I just want the name of who had the authority to cut the checks and was supposed to say "no" to requests that weren't properly authorized.
I have questions:

My Husband has just been made redundant.
He was the Art director on Disney Dreamlight Valley who actually turned the project around from yet another mobile game, to the multiplatform, biggest success Gameloft has ever had with a game.
He was also supporting mine and our daughter's disabled asses. We now have no private insurance and have come up against brick walls in the Quebec public health system.
We basically need him employed ASAP in the Montreal. Please RT!
@jzb @cwebber The problem, I think, is that...

Does anyone know the specific process for reporting an error in the name of a geographical feature (especially one that isn't contained in a single country) on Google Maps?
I'm thinking there are a couple of bodies of water that are clearly labelled incorrectly, but I've tried to use GMaps's "report a data error" feature and it always wants me to confirm the feature's address... starting with the country... :blobcatfacepalm:
@rnd I'll have to listen again -- it may be that my dialect allows just enough "e" in the "i" sound that I still hear it as "i"...

I wonder if some kind of scan which looks for increasing latency in reading files would serve as a warning indicator... since the drive firmware probably hides a lot of errors...
...though I will suggest that if the block-relocation counter is zero, wouldn't that suggest that any problems are still some way off?
@rantingsteve it was a joke but you have tapped TWO of my infodump regions. I WILL talk about both for hours on end given the opportunity
