Citizen blogger-journalist-anthropologist in the virtual world Second Life (SL). Like Mastodon, SL avoids the surveillance capitalist business model of Alphabet & Meta. I do participant-observer reportage & photography of avatar life. I try to avoid setup images in favor of presenting more authentic moments of avatar life.

@librenews this is true of every platform. I was banned from Facebook, all I did there was make an account and post 2 pictures. Back in the day Google+ banned people AND locked them out of their pre-existing Google Docs. Most recently, I made a Pinterest account, pinned about 18 images of mid century diner uniforms, and was banned. Pinterest reinstated my account after an appeal, but wouldn’t tell me anything about what I had violated or how I had been flagged.

I have around ten Twitter accounts that I used for application development, all of which have either been suspended, locked out of, or they have been given to others. I can't think of any sensible rule I might have broken. I've never done anything remotely malicious with them. Asking Twitter for help has been fruitless

“Tesla Autopilot crash numbers are far higher than those of similar driver-assistance systems from GM and Ford. To be comparable with Ford’s rate, Tesla ought to have a NHTSA-reported crash total of 70 since last summer. Instead Tesla reported 516 crashes.”https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-12-27/tesla-stopped-reporting-autopilot-safety-statistics-online
Tesla stopped reporting its Autopilot safety numbers online. Why?

Around the same time that Tesla stopped self-reporting Autopilot safety stats, its crash rates were soaring far higher than those of its competitors.

@QasimRashid "Stop Trusting Billionaires". Word. Can I get that on a t-shirt? Meanwhile, TY for putting these facts out. People need to know. And be reminded. And reminded.

@rbreich Wealth Tax? I'd be happy if they just paid normal taxes. Or any taxes at all!

@Tam5 very cool! Hashtags in "CamelCase" are also easier for human eyeballs to read! :)

@yellow OMG my favorite thing, pre-pandemic, was going to a movie theatre, watching some lame film, and sprinkling a little popcorn on my bucket of butter & salt!
