schestowitzThank you for rectifying this so quickly. I was a little shocked and felt insulted at first. Have a great day.Jan 19 05:50

schestowitzThat does not even make any senseJan 19 05:50

schestowitzWhen I log in it says accounts "banned". The emails say the same, so I don't think it's a bug, my gut feeling is saying that some moderator does not like my political views and looks for ways to deploatform me. Please, can you investigate? Thanks in advance.Jan 19 05:50

schestowitzNo it isnt thatJan 19 05:50

schestowitzIt is a bugJan 19 05:50
schestowitz5:11 PMJan 19 05:50
schestowitzwowJan 19 05:50
schestowitzthis bug really insults me, it's a critical one to fix, I poured so much effort into the siteJan 19 05:50
schestowitzI will screenshot itJan 19 05:50

schestowitzI only managed to get a screenshot of logic screenJan 19 05:51

schestowitzotherwise, it seems like I'm in, then for two seconds it says banned, then back to login pageJan 19 05:51
schestowitzSeems like a bug in MINDS is the reason some people get banned for no reason. A bug. Maybe security-related? Remote de-platforming?Jan 19 05:51
schestowitzyou cannot post as much as you are postingJan 19 05:51
schestowitzare you using an automated toolJan 19 05:51

schestowitzno, nothing automatedJan 19 05:51
schestowitzI post the same in mastodon though, I paste it inJan 19 05:51
schestowitzNow I get  totally inconsistent stories about why #MINDS keeps banning me (then unbanning). The inconsistency necessarily implies lying.Jan 19 05:51
schestowitzHow many times a day do you postJan 19 05:51
schestowitzMindsJan 19 05:51
schestowitzAnd why doesnt anything have a thunbnailJan 19 05:51
schestowitz7:37 PMJan 19 05:51
schestowitzI post on average 250 a day, I think, recently I didn't add a spacebar to let it load up a thumbnail. I will add that.Jan 19 05:51

schestowitz> this small little town of elites has this level of local law enforcement. Jan 19 06:32
schestowitzIf we think from the point of view or super rich needing their private army, mercenaries etc. ('pitchforks' scenario), I guess this one counts as... well, tasteless but not too shocking. :-)Jan 19 06:32
schestowitzIt's good that you dig into these things regardless.Jan 19 06:32

schestowitzxxxxxx sent you a Direct Message.Jan 19 07:01
schestowitzJan 19 07:01
schestowitzThe latest comment was marked as off topic, but you can choose to see it. I posted to a xxxxxxx team member at the github site and got this response:Jan 19 07:01
schestowitzxxxxx 3 hours ago Member Jan 19 07:01
schestowitzxxxxxxxx was that conflict of interest label for me? No problem, if so. I used to work with xxxxxx, but resigned xxxxxx. 1. I have always made that very clear in my bios and if anyone asks me. No, we have a team member whom I cannot name and whom I hope will come up who has been offered a job by xxxx and we are having a bit of disagreement within the team on how to handle that. In my opinion the person should tell about it by themselves Jan 19 07:01
schestowitzas I fear it could sway people close to them in the team into accepting xxxx getting relisted in fear of making them lose the opportunity thus making this a conflict of interest and I see a potential conflict of interest even if the team swore to not care about their employment.

schestowitzMust see: xxxxxxxxxJan 19 07:01
schestowitzJan 19 07:01
schestowitz"Anyway, i say we do not re add xxx, but we should keep an eye on them, they broke trust, causing them to be removed, quickly coming up with answers after that trust was broken doesn't make on immediately trusted again, the damage has already been done. However, being delisted does not mean that the trust cannot be restored, see matrix/riot as example, which got relisted after a significant amount of time by hard work.Jan 19 07:01
schestowitz"We should keep an eye on xxxxxxx, for when it becomes better, or in another case, worse. If xxxxxxxx can keep its independence for a long period without any actual changes, then i would be more willing to give in my vote, but for now, i vote to not re list them, and keep a close eye on the for any changes in the situation."Jan 19 07:03
schestowitzis it ok to say xxxxxx may be  trying to pay its way into re-acceptance, without disclosing pertinent details?Jan 19 07:03
schestowitzWe've got a rather big story about xxxxxxxxx coming... Jan 19 07:03

schestowitzI've posted a follow-up question that I hope get a forthright response. See:Jan 19 07:04

schestowitzSome people are concerned the post might be removed it seems so it has been archived here: xxxxxxxJan 19 07:04

schestowitzOff the record, of course. I suspect xxxxxxx is already working with xxxxxx or courting them. Check out his xxxxxxx Twitter feed and hisxxxxxxx website where he makes SP his top pick -- without any warning label.Jan 19 07:04

schestowitzI'd like to know, too, xxxxx -- especially since you recently de-listed xxxxxxx. Maybe you are re-listing both? Did you see that xxxxxx *does* share "fuzzed" data with pay-per-click ad company xxxxxx? It's like pulling teeth, but more info is surfacing.Jan 19 07:04
schestowitzHere's a twitter thread with his announcement:Jan 19 07:04
schestowitzxxxxxxxxxJan 19 07:04
schestowitzHe responded behind my back claiming I was harassing him by asking why. I was puzzled as to why he suddenly turned on me. He has also attacked other privacy advocates who have questioned the new xxxxxxxxx ownership.Jan 19 07:04
schestowitzMaybe there's another PTIO person, too? I hope they are forthcoming.Jan 19 07:04
