Wait people are talking on #Mastodon about making the hashtag #JoinMastodonDay trend on Twitter ?? LOL that would be perfect 🤣 I feel like Elon would notice it too which would make it even better since he doesn't like Mastodon. Make it trend! 😂

I receive a satisfaction survey from @AmericanAir. They indirectly use @Cloudflare for their survey. But since Cloudflare has blocked my IP address, they will never receive my comments about repeated failings in their booking system. One should not depend on an #AdversarialVendor

@RepAnnWagner In an alternate universe, moderate Republicans could join Democrats to elect a #SpeakeroftheHouse now that the crazies are holding the process hostage.

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

Of course #twitter autoenrolls to every interest. And there is no way to mass unselect all the interests. And serially unselecting overloads to UI. Another reason for the #twitterMigration #UIfail

[SwiftOnSecurity @SwiftOnSecurity]

We need to continue threatening people who exist outside of a car

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

Anybody know of a way to get an IP address removed from @Cloudflare block list?

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

Hey hivemind, my IP address was blocked by @Cloudflare. Now I can't access @Zoom and many other sites. What recourse do I have?

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

I'm having trouble getting to your web site, @CreativCulinary. I suspect that @Cloudflare is blocking. Error code 1020. Can you help?

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

That wierd feeling you get when the app for your online-only bank stops functioning and telephone support is unprepared to handle the problem. @SoFi

@imagestrmpress @CoinbaseSupport Yet another reason to move all my coins from @coinbase to non-custodial wallets.

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

Hey @CoinbaseSupport, now that you have disconnected my bank account, what are the options for re-linking which do not involve @Plaid? I have #privacy concerns giving my account credentials to a 3rd party, no matter how vehemently they protest their privacy.

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

24 hours later… @zoom asks for the same information as if by waiting the customer will loose interest. In that time, I have proved that my IP address is blacklisted. All I did was change my public NAT and everything works. Change it back it fails. Support won't look at blacklist

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

Hey @Zoom, why have you blocked me? I opened a case 10 days ago. You have yet to acknowledge that my IP address is in your block list. But the "403 Forbidden" in the application log is a good indicator. The 1 day turn around makes it extremely difficult to work with you.

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

Hey @Zoom, the error number 100000403 is not a generic error, but the underlying html error percolating up to the UI. Train your support staff better.

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

@notwaldorf This is one of the many reasons that I do not the gmail UI. There are so many better MUAs. Thankfully, my evolution client natively supports the gmail api.

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

@CoinbaseSupport Finally. Your answer leaves me with little option but to leave your exchange. Your options are untenable. They force me to hand over my #privacy to an unaccountable 3rd party.

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

@CoinbaseSupport I sent a DM. All I hear is #crickets

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

@signalapp I will only support projects from which I receive benefit. I will consider supporting again when SMS support returns. There are other secure, ANONYMOUS messaging systems which are cross-platform that now receive my support.

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

We are encouraged to support the projects and communities that align with our ideals. I have stopped supporting @signalapp. They know why. Maybe, with sufficient community backlash, they will reconsider their poor choices.

[Stephen Baker @zsjr]

@_noid_ @FifthThird Reminds of the time I had to fly from STL to NYC to have the @Citibank branch assistant manager direct me to the notary in the bodega around the corner to sign for closing an account. Yet another bank I don't do business with.
