Yeah, it’s a technically difficult problem to deal with because you’re probably often sharing an IP address or a block of IPs with bad actors. You can’t really share details about it without giving them a hand.
I guess cynically said, you could probably go through their VPN service to fix it, I’ve seen that from time to time.
Essentially, their entire schtick is being a middleman. By sitting between the server you want to visit, they can do helpful things like DDOS protection, being a CDN (basically store website assets closer to you), managing HTTPS for you and providing access to your website over IPv6 even if your server doesn’t have it.
By nature of that though, their position is quite sensitive since it has become a service that a good chunk of the Internet goes through. That causes concerns about centralization and pisses in a lot of people’s cereals politically.
I have a eating disorder so most vegetables make me retch, so I kind of don’t have a choice.
Also companies do way more emissions than I ever will, yet I’m asked to stop.
How do you imagine such a appeal process would work? If we’re assuming distributed moderation doesn’t work for appeals, you’d have to appoint moderators who have the (potentially absolute) power to decide on appeals. Who watches the watchers?
I mean, I’m young and I have a full on digital collection of albums on my drive.
I don’t like mixtapes for regular listens because I might like the songs in the album if I like one song already.
I do like mixes if I just want to listen to a specific kind of music.
Assuming you mean texting style acronyms, yeah, we have them in German and I’d assume in other languages too.
Alongside the stuff borrowed from English 1:1, there’s stuff like bb for “Bis bald” (See you soon) or hdl for “hab dich lieb” (Love you)
I’d assume other languages do the same out of efficiency or laziness.
