There's a whole new generation of tech illiterates being born with a smartphone up their asses. I feel that 80's kids peaked at tech literacy, then steadily declined from the mid 90s maybe.

Escalate it to their support team.

Do it on the desktop website, their mobile stuff is broken beyond repair.

No, don't. Banned accounts look good in their statistics to investors, like they care about users and enforce strict moderation. Or they shrug you off as part of a bot army or something.

Actual deletion means a conscious act of a user to leave the platform.

They changed the phrasing, since in some jurisdictions "sharing anonymized data with partners" can apparently be interpreted as a sale of data, if they get something in return, even if it's not a fiscal payment.

But after the outrage that sparked, they've rephrased the policy again and wrote a lengthy article detailing the reasoning, which is at the very least plausible.

I'm pirating. If a game I want isn't available on fitgirl repacks, I don't want it anymore. Before streaming services and always online garbage became a thing I'd buy physical releases, but the more intrusive DRM became, the less I got interested in modern game delivery services.

Reddit became a clownshow 2 years ago, how are people even still enjoying the place?

Wero used to be a laughing stock in Germany, being the fourth or fifth failed project to take on p2p payments. Let's see if the orange overlord manages to unify the Union where our local politicians always failed.

It's not terrible, but not a proper substitute. All the niche communities are very much dead. On the other hand you have an overload of leftist politics, linux, and gaming. Nothing inherently wrong with those either, but I'm missing a fair balance.
