Instagram banned my business account today because they say I'm not a real person. I'm not trying to be. Nothing in my account said I was a real person. All the personal information in my account is real, though. I tried to appeal it which involves uploading a selfie. I've now learned this was my fatal mistake. You are not supposed to appeal it, that simply auto-perma-bans you. You're supposed to fill out a form whic…

I think if you don't think the criticism is worth responding to, you're better off ignoring it. If it violates the guidelines, people will usually downvote and flag it for you within a few hours. If they don't, it's usually because very few saw it anyway. I think if you quote the guidelines at people, trolls will perceive that as blood in the water. Conversely if you give interesting responses to comments you think a…
That's not my experience of HN. ;-)

I didn't submit my blog post to HN, but I did publish the blog post rather than remaining silent, so obviously I am kind of a confrontational person. :-)

Just a phone number!? Lucky you, Instagram wants me to take a selfie with some random code written on a piece of paper. I had this account for years, but I only used it to get away from "log in to see more posts" whenever I randomly stumbled upon some Instagram link, so yeah, I'm not doing that.

I understand the instinct to defend yourself, but a.) Any community that won't have your back isn't worth being a part of, and b.) This is one of those paradoxical cases where the harder you fight, the more resistance you'll encounter, and the only way to win is to give up and accept the comment section as it is.
Again, this is just my opinion, discard it if you don't feel it's useful.
I remember when Instagram started asking for your date of birth in order to use it, which prompted me to take a nice break from it. The next time I checked in, they made it so that you could have a "shadow birthday" tied to your age and the current date. I wonder if that'll affect me in the event I have to go through the kind of ID verification hell I see reported everywhere (including replies to this post).

I just remembered that I read a bunch of comments here back when Threads launched about how Twitter was dead and Threads would replace it. A few months later and Threads is effectively dead. Pretty funny in retrospect.
Linked below, you said something reminds you to a old times when you were using arrays to work through database results.
I still do this, building multidimensional arrays of results to later use.
How should/could I be doing it?
I'm self taught but built a decent sized webapp CRM/project management saas and am trying to learn a few new things before starting a new project.
PS, comically, your style of responding made me want to contact you. Reading some of your post history, we have very similar views on a lot of things. Interesting how that works.
Thank you for reading

Reddit is dead too. (Ignore the fact that it's gone from #18 to #17 global ranking over the last three months. [1]) [1] https://www.similarweb.com/website/reddit.com/
