I've always wondered about this. What happens if one of the big tech companies makes a mistake and closes your account? LinkedIn is pretty important nowadays when searching for work. Would you be able to make a new account? If not, that seems like a pretty big deal. Same concern with your email, or any of the other big services that we usually depend on. If I just suddenly lost my gmail, I would probably lose access…

It's shockingly frustrating and disheartening. I recently (like, yesterday) got permanently banned from Reddit for "report abuse", for some random semi-nonsense comment I reported a month ago on a meme subreddit. Regardless of how justified that is or isn't -- I only have one side of the story to share of course, and I think I just got caught in some labor-saving measures for their underpaid+overworked admin staff --…

I lost access to a Google account almost a decade ago; trying to get it back was one massive Kafka trap. Every few years I go back and try navigating the Kafka trap again hoping against hope for better results. But I’m still locked out. It’s particularly frustrating because IMAP is setup for it into another google account, so I can still send and receive email from the address but I’m fully locked out of the service.…

How did you lose the account? Was there a reason from Google?

I lost access to a YouTube account, which had my gaming videos, when they went all in on Google Plus. Somehow they messed it up and I couldn't get through the recovery process. I remember I was forced to change my password and then I could no longer log in. After that I decided I would never make a new YouTube channel again.

Can't wait to see what the almighty AI thinks about the Tits problem![1] Or the Tits group[2] (I swear, I'm not a member!). Very tempted to include Tits Alternative[3] as one of my interests on LinkedIn, but I'm afraid the result will be too predictable. Side note: The two groups that don't satisfy the Tits Alternative are very dear to my heart. Writing software to do computation in Thompson's Group and its generaliz…

Or copper nanotubes. The classic nanotubes are made from carbon (C), called CNTs. The copper (Cu) are called CuNTs. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11433-013-5387-8

Or the lazy/eager divide in theoretical computer science: it's difficult to study without a close investigation of topless models' bottoms.

If it helps, Reddit outside of the niche or rare well-moderated subs is detestable; a wasteland of bots and ads and partisan nonsense. Even on the science subs, no one cares about your older comments or the age of your account, except to pull things out of it to try and doxx you or invalidate your opinions. You can make another account on a VPN and still get the same upvotes, still reach the same eyeballs, get the sa…

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah I've sorta taken it for granted that I'm going to comply with their "no ban evasion" rule, but I guess I should give it some thought if I find the urge some day. Given that my old account was publicly linked to my real name (and I'd like to do the same for any new one), that could get a little tricky... But that's obviously a self-imposed hurdle.

> comply with their "no ban evasion" rule,

Fuck 'em.

What are they gonna do, site-wide ban you again? If so, VPN a third account with your real name. A fourth, a fifth. It costs them a lot to ban you for dumb reasons, and costs you nothing to make new accounts.

I'd suggest creating an email newsletter for people to join if they like your posts. It's the only way to have a reliable audience, because every large platform these days is suspect.

What on earth makes you think people working in porn and porn adjacent industries behave "in a professional context" on LinkedIn, when nobody else seems to?

What does this even mean?

I believe it was a joke. Nobody acts professionally on LinkedIn, therefore why would that industry stay on topic?

God it really is heinous. However, I don't think it's a consequence of the platform, but of work culture. People are like that because it works , and it works because we're deep, deep into a headlong rush toward annihilation in the name of profit. The people profiting from destroying every public good - peace, pollution-free air and water and soil, housing, healthcare, etc etc - own basically everything. Our politici…

> deep into a headlong rush toward annihilation in the name of profit. Poverty, illness and starvation are the default state of mankind and the fact that almost nobody lives in deep poverty any more is because people get up in the morning and work hard to produce value.

This is simply untrue. Most of the dire circumstances of people around the world today can be traced back to European or American imperialism and increasingly financialised economies.

Great... now I need a shower. :(

Welcome to a brave new world of digital fascism and mass surveillance. Why does every message have to be scanned with AI? Since when WeChat behaviour has become an example for the Western social media? You don't scan all user private messages with AI, you give your users a report button which they can press if they don't like a message. Only then you can take any other measures. That's is.

And how on earth can Microsoft AI question the appropriateness of a video which was greenlit by Google Youtube AI? It makes my AI head spin.

They're competitors :)

Why do "leadership" people love to use hashtags so much? No one else does that anymore. It's so boomerish.

Missed opportunity to insert a sde joke in there. Yes it's bad form to like the humorous posts but HN is rather drab as of late.
