On reddit, it was frowned upon to create a new acc after getting banned - and still it was frequently needed to do so, because of some mod gone wild.
The same jerks who have been mods on reddit are now becoming the mods on lemmy. And they still get unlimited power, and still nobody is reviewing their actions.
Now, please explain: why would anybody share such stories of getting banned?
He also said that emails sent directly to a .MIL domain to Malian addresses are “blocked before they leave the .mil domain
Seems this guy is proven wrong 117000 times, at least :-)
That's not the question here.
The 2 problems here are
that F*book scrapes this user's personal data from other random places (very illegal)
and that they change the FB profile without asking the user specifically (should be illegal, but maybe they find an excuse in their terms & conditions)
Being forced to read generated content?
Nobody deserves that. Not even criminals.
We should write it down into the list of basic human rights: the RIGHT to freely decide if i want to read/hear/view any generated content.
You should be proud of that
Even commercial 'social' media need anonymity.
Sorry for the downtime and we will try to communicate the problem better in the future.
You did the right thing, going down immediately.
The solution for the announcement problem is to do it "out of band", as the communications engineers call it. That is: use a different medium. May be a webpage or even twitter or whatever. Ideally let everybody know your method in advance (make an announcement policy :-)) so the users know where to look for the info.
looked into ZFS but if I use that it halves the available disk space to 2TB.
Look harder :-)
ZFS can do it either way.
Telling us that you formed the iron spherules by your hand... :-)
Yours might get overwritten. Better look for a final solution.
Easy solution:
Everybody, everywhere should be jailed for using twitter. Then they can't discriminate anymore down there in Saudi...
:-)
So they understood absolutely nothing of what all the scientists said only a few weeks ago: make a pause with training new AI's!
