    My kid wants to be verified on Roblox sooooooo bad so he can defend himself against trolls. It’s actually been a good lesson in ignoring those idiots like water off a ducks back.

    If people cared about “the children” they wouldn’t let them on the Internet until they were 21.

    If people cared about humanity they wouldn’t allow “the algorithms” to exist or let social media or news media exist they way it does now.

    Fucking Peter literally creating the very monster he claims to hate.

    16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

    17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

      They’re trying to force it to happen. They somehow think they’ll be spared and only the people they hate will have to suffer.

    I’m permaband from Reddit but I miss some local subs. I hope this encourages people to move away to something else.

      Unfortunately probably a lot fewer will move than we expect. People seem capable of accepting all sorts of shittification in favour of actively changing their platform. Just look at how many still uses twitter, despite its literal nazification.

      How do they permaban you? By IP address? I can’t see how they could verify a new user being the same person as a old one. Email address is trivial to get around too.

        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.
