I have sent a report through Discord support as a privacy issue, but there is nowhere to specifically report impersonation. I am honestly disappointed at how difficult @discord_support makes it to report someone for impersonation, giving no clear path to resolve the issue.
Apparently someone made an accounts impersonating me on @Discord. I DO NOT MESSAGE PEOPLE I DONT KNOW ON DISCORD! If this person messages you, please report immediately! @discord_support
My username - geneavlogger
Impersonator usernames - geneavlogger. and .geneavlogger
I have had 12+ people tell me this person messaged them, all of whom said they also reported the user. In researching this, it seems to be a constant issue on Discord and a lot of the advice was basically "Don't expect Discord to do anything."
Most of us black Americans, don't have the slightest clue about our family history. Even after we were enslaved and brought here, we weren't recorded as citizens, just property. Despite this @GeneaVlogger managed to do the seemingly impossible. https://t.co/ejpRnEh6D2
My latest episode of Youtuber Family Trees dives into the intriguing history of Jabari Walker, whose ancestors were enslaved on El Destino Plantation near Tallahassee, FL.

I recently saw The Breakthrough on Netflix, a mini-series about a double-murder in Sweden which was solved using Investigative Genetic Genealogy. I made a review video discussing what they got right, what they got wrong, and breaking down some of the information in more depth.

@KingsGenerals@beatmastermatt I used to be a hardcore wikipedian in the early 2000s to about 2007, and this was a big debate in the community for years. The inclusionists vs. the deletionists.

On today's stream with @Cynical_History, I mentioned the new website from Reclaim the Records which allows you to search the index of the BIRLS Database and then submit a FOIA request through the website.
The example here is Cypher's grandfather Arthur P Patton
