Girl how on earth did your tiktok account get banned I'm sobbing

tiktok thought I was a bot (???) and won’t respond to my appeal so at this point it is what it is tbh, I might make a new one but also don’t know if I can be bothered tbh 😬

Like I mentioned in my newsletter, construction is going to likely cut my internet for an unknown length of time this week (and my power for a half day or so) and as a result I won't be able to get this week's chapter of What Manner of Man ready for publication.

I might be MIA for a little while on here as well, so if you don't see me I promise I am not dead in a ditch.

Hi just a reminder but if you go be an asshole for no reason to other people in my comments, i will block you

Readers on tiktok and Instagram have apparently never witnessed (and also can't imagine):

A deep and gutteral sound(grow)

A devilish smile(smirk)

A titled head(cocked)

Someone from their eyes in frustration??

And a lot of others but I accidently lost the post I'm pulling these real examples from

I think the biggest issue is that the people making these comments just immensely lack imagination. I've hardly seen anyone smirk, but even as a kid I understood what it meant for a character to be smirking, it's a clearly defined word used in a self explanatory concept, there's no reason people can't get what it means and are so thrown off by it, and yet it happens

You've probably never felt the pull of g forces, will you find your disbelief broken if you read a book about fighter jets?

You probably don't have a secret handshake, will you find the characters to be stereotypical if they do?

Do you cringe when people use words you've never used and behave in ways you've never believed??

It just drives me nuts people who read books, from a young age, and reportedly love books, struggle so much that children grasp once they have the words explained

didn't get enough sleep last night, woke up super early, went out and did stuff (it was nice). when we came back I sat down in bed because I was pretty exhausted and just wanted to watch youtube for a few minutes.

annnd then I slept for about six hours 🙃

Why is every other tumblr text post some variation of

"Yes [thing that is stigmatized and generally disliked] is great and everyone loves it but what about [thing that literally everyone constantly talks about liking, to the exclusion of all else]"

asked for my granny’s crumble recipe and she gave me ingredients for it as well and asked for updates on how it went (🥹) and my mum goes and uses the ingredients herself! and tells me about it like it was meant for her all the time! she lives in a world where she’s everyone’s five year old child and it drives me insane

Every couple years or so, the Bats are required to take a group photo to update the JL website (idk why, they are required to take a vigilante group picture), and Jason consistently refuses to show up. So this year, Tim just draws the lines of the Red Hood helmet on a bright red balloon and then floats it between him and Nightwing. They absolutely refuse to acknowledge that it isn't Jason. They put it up on a billboard instead.

Jason finds out about it when he drives back into Gotham and the highway going into the city has a 'Keeping Gotham Safe' billboard and it's a picture of the Bats looking extremely serious with the Red Hood Balloon floating behind them.

re: the new discord mobile update, I keep seeing people shouting "send feedback!! tell them you don't like it!!" and honestly? Y'all gotta stop deluding yourselves LOL

Feedback sections like that get ignored. Maybe if Discord was in the business of making changes to benefit its users they would listen, but that's not what they're here to do. The Discord mobile update is here to do one thing and one thing only, and that's to appease stockholders so they can point to the new UI and say "see? look! we're doing things!"

A social media outcry is going to be far more effective than using the in-app feedback option, because social media can't be ignored. If we all played their game and kept our feedback in-app, they could sweep the dissatisfaction under the rug and pretend that there's tons of people who secretly love the changes. It's infinitely more useful to shout about it in a public facing manner so they can't ignore the problem. A public outcry affects their stocks. Feedback through the official channels does not.

The reality is that this update is probably here to stay, because reverting it would mean they wasted a bunch of money developing it, and wasting money is not what stockholders want to hear. Maybe they'll tiptoe back individual features piece by piece, but that's the best we could even hope for. Don't treat Discord like a poor little well-meaning indie company that accidentally pushed an update people didn't enjoy. This was purely to appease investors at the expense of the userbase. They don't care if we like it.
