👍 Lorin H. Lack of reporting of offensive content/usernames also poses a challenge. Goodbye.
🤔 David I believe that if enough of us pushed for a blocklist on offensive names then we'd get a response.
🔚 Bort Simpson Agreed. I don't understand why Google and other companies don't ban certain words / phrases from the internet entirely. There is NO REASON why saying hurtful things should be protected by ANY 'Constitution,' anywhere. All you're doing is enabling violence and white supremacy, just like this website.
Scott Lamora Also need to be able to delete our accounts

💸 Jumar Martin I suppose the reason why I hop onto emerging services is because there's this one guy who has my name _everywhere_ so I try to beat him to the punch wherever I can.
👍 Lorin H. Same but now we're good buddies, and he works for Netflix tech, which is cool :D

👌 Ramsey How do you post memes on this thing?
👍 Lorin H. Ah you're the fellow that grabbed the 'OK' emoji before me, good jerb! Too bad it didn't allow more complex emoji like ninja cat :D

🚀 Jason Lex What's the thing you hate most about mainstream social media?
👍 Lorin H. a billion irrelevant ads - I let everyone track me specifically to get proper targeting and I still repeatedly get kickstarter scams and irrelevant stuff. It's as if advertisers don't care how to target properly.
