scholar.social/@JubalBarca/115… JubalBarca@scholar.social - If you still have an account on academia.edu, you should probably delete it.I'm not sure how their new terms are legal: they give the site the right to use your data in any manner. This is mainly to help them scrape academic work and republish/mangle parts of it through AI without credit: but these terms go way beyond that into your likeness, your voice, even your signature.
Please boost this to academics you know. Further PSA elements in thread:

YouYube would be the wrong venue to start up a Colbert-Kimmel channel Isn't that right, Fediverse? Bassem Youssef should totally go with that, IMHO.

Seagulls evolved from philosophy with Jonathan Livingston to being beach police against fast food. They make fast food GTFO lots faster.

So I've been posting about these new cars and their "secure" door handles, and how they're killing people. Everyone has pooh-poohed me. They *had* to save the world by buying Teslas. Well:

Hey folks, remember when I said Friendica didn't do fancy Mastodon emojis?
Well, Rogue's Project has been experiencing frequent out-of-service hiccups during Hashtag Games, so waiting for the thing to come back into service, I hit the smilie button to while away the time and DAYUM!! @Unus the Admin looks like he's been adding a huge library of emojis, although not Mastodon type. I take back what I said about Friendica, but the snag that still exists is that I can neither tag Unus or PM him because his system still says I have him blocked when I don't...so Ima hashtag this for his attention.
#RoguesProject #Friendica #admin @admin
...in hindsight it doesn't look like any of that works but we'll see. #HELP !!!

That. Is. A. Fact. I forgot to mention IRCs, but I'm also sure that big news names don't recognize BBS activity anymore than they recognize the Fediverse as "social media". CompuServe was in fact centralized and a precursor to MySpace and all centralized social media that came afterward.
I hasten to add that BOY am I glad you commented on my thread because Rogue's still insists that I have you blocked when I don't, so it also prohibits me sending you PMs, tagging you, or read what you post. I've looked high and low for settings or whatever it is that I could do at my end to fix that and I can't find anything. If you would please fix that administratively, that would be greatly appreciated.

I have sent you a DM on both Rogue Project Friendica & MyPortal Social Friendica. See if you can respond to either one. In the meantime. Click the Contacts Icon:
Click the tab that says blocked. Be sure I am not in that tab also check ignored.
