I’ve been a social media hermit for the past 3 years but recently I’ve given up and created a few accounts across different apps again. It’s unreal how strict the requirements are now.

  1. Give e-mail (ok)
  2. Give phone number (… eeh, ok)
  3. Use the new account for a while
  4. Account suspended, please upload selfie to continue (no thanks xi). There are also some verification promps where you have to record a video and rotate your face left to right

If this isn’t a message to move to indie web I don’t know what is

    A wild tankie appears and minimizes China’s surveillance state. Hey there you, have any Chinese immigrant friends? Did you know they are survielled and harassed around the world by the Chinese govenment? Your leaders will always fail you, mine too. I’m not gonna sit here in denial about it.
