  • Roblox, Reddit and Discord users compelled to use biometric ID system backed by Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel

    Jump

  • I got permabanned a while ago. In the time since, I’ve moved to a new country and gotten all new devices. Made a new account with a new email address to try to join local subs in the new area.

    That account was banned a couple hours later for ban evasion. I had made zero comments or posts and hadn’t joined any of my old subs. After that, I assumed they just have an AI that auto bans a chunk of new accounts “just in case”, because I genuinely have no idea what they could have done to connect the two accounts to each other.

  • YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it

    Jump

  • I’ve stopped using YouTube for the most part. Cut down a lot once they broke the search function and I could no longer find what I was looking for because every result would be flooded with random shorts and other irrelevant content.

    Then, my account, which was made in either 05 or 06, got flagged as belonging to a minor and they asked me to verify my age with an ID. Why this even happened when the account itself is over 18 now, and I’m not in the US (which I thought was the only place their age verification BS was being implemented) is beyond me.

    I wish there were more options for long form video sharing, since YouTube seems to be the only viable platform for it at the moment.

  • What’s wrong with Brave?/gen I keep seeing positive comments about it, so there must be something I don’t know.

  • US Homeland Security Asked Reddit to Hand Over Information On Users That Have Spoken Out Against ICE, the New York Times has learned

  • Game was eighty dollars, which I thought was too high. And, yeah, maybe a bot decided I meant the other Luigi.

  • Wendy's closing hundreds of U.S. restaurants as sales plunge

  • Maybe they shouldn’t have started price gouging to such a ridiculous degree.

  • Started on a big meme sub. We disagreed about if Mario Kart World was overpriced. He went to my profile, found out I was trans, and got really mad.

  • A user followed me from sub to sub to call me slurs, using alts when I blocked them so that they could continue. I reported them and got permabanned for “abusing the report button”. Everyone else in my household was then also kicked off the platform.

  • r/antimeme2 got banned after exposing r/antimeme's mod that claims to be dead as an Indian Catfish account

    Jump

  • Looked into it a bit, and it was pretty wild the number of commenters who took this seriously. When the “suicide” discussion contained dialogue like:

    “She is no more more.”

    “NOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

    And the “dead” mod was playing Minecraft hours after they supposedly died.

  • Guess it’s good they already banned me for reporting bigots.

  • The US government will not stop sharing Nazi propaganda

    Jump

  • Can’t believe the Nazis won’t stop doing Nazi stuff. That’s so unlike them.

  • OpenAI retired its most seductive chatbot – leaving users angry and grieving: ‘I can’t live like this’

    Jump

  • I had to delete my account on one site this morning for asking a question about this situation.

    The exact words I used were “I haven’t used ChatGPT, what will be changed when 4o is gone, and why is it upsetting so many people?” And this morning I woke up to dozens of notifications calling me a horrible human being with no empathy. They were accusing me of wanting people to harm themselves or commit suicide and of celebrating others’ suffering.

    I try not to let online stuff affect my mood too much, which is why I just abandoned the account rather than arguing or trying to defend myself. (I got the impression nothing I said would matter.) Not to mention, I was just even more confused by it all at that point.

    I guess this at least explains what kind of wasp’s nest I managed to piss off with my comment. And, I can understand why these people are “dating” a chatbot if that’s how they respond when an actual human (and not even one IRL, still just behind a screen) asks a basic question.

  • Dunno why this is worldwide, then. Why should I have to comply with what some states in the US want when I’m not even in the same country, and my country has none of these age verification laws? Whole world shouldn’t have to give up their privacy just because Tennessee said so.

  • I mean, this place is quite a bit further left than Reddit. A lot of leftist stuff on Reddit started getting banned after Elon got his fee-fees hurt over people mocking DOGE.

    And, it’s kinda weird that the last straw was the anti-fascism rather than the creeps.
