as a former tech support person I think the reason why its usually like that is that most of the people who call in are people don't know how to use a computer at least it was for the company I worked at

Yea I was annoyed that they were making me sign up for google+ for my youtube account so I never tried it I just set it up so I could keep using youtube.

I've noticed that this happens alot while messing with simulation nodes what am I doing wrong?

try following hashtags

and then if you suggest they try mastodon they won't even consider it

Tbf voting with money also seems futile

You dont even need to go to a new instance you can just join another comunity on a different server

I don't expect my data to be fully deleted in a centralized system either. even if it was deleted from the central server someone might have made an archive of it

and reddit is definitely guilty of this since they were bringing back peoples deleted comments and accounts

does a comment/post really need hundreds of comments saying similar things it also helps to hide spam content and trolls

Lol where did they even say they think they can run people off the internet.

You nazis are dumb as fuck.

the problem is that google takeout does not let me export my subs for some reason so I haven't really used it. (it says no data found)

also google sent them a legal notice

please can youtube be next?

I really want to stop using my google account and that's the only thing keeping me from moving away from it.
