| Meta sometimes responds to correspondence sent to their Oversight Board, c/c a copy to office of the CEO with your ID on the hacker way address. This worked (this year) to restore an account of mine that was locked for over 8 years that none of their systems could or would review or resolve. They never replied to the letter, they just silently unlocked it and flagged my profile as verified. I never received any warning or any reason for the suspension. I have a common name but am not impersonating anybody. It ended up being a waste of time . I can no longer see friends or relatives or co workers. It’s all “for you” spam and I deleted it of my own accord after a week anyway. On topic: yes the Overton window either moved a LOT on Reddit or they’re overwhelmed or don’t care anymore. Purely anecdotal in favor of a window shift; there are a lot of comments in /r/musked that would have gotten you a wide reaching if not site wide ban just a year ago (and still get you bans from /r/elonmusk and /r/teslamotors even if you’ve never posted there.) but for , I think, obvious reasons it’s almost impossible to take it “too far” on that subject or say anything harsh enough about that company or its owner on Reddit now. Many examples of people or subjects that were untouchable and met with great force just a year or two ago that are fair game now. While probably not against the rules on HN, I don’t want to get into it. I stuck with a safer , mostly not political one. Left-on-left criticism of the DNC is also apparently wide open now that the election is over. It would have been moderated or banned just two or three months ago. Not only does nobody care , but sometimes it’s even heavily upvoted. I’m only in the USA for work and have no opinion on this but it’s hard not to notice it. |
