Lost Their Damn Minds(.com)

Earlier in the year (about June), I promised I would start trying to do some website reviews here on the blogs in my quest to create content.

Some months later I’m in the mood to try get back to doing some blogging / content creation type stuff again, so here is the attempt at the first website review.

It probably won’t be as fiery as I originally had in mind, as many weeks have passed since they p*ssed me off, but lets try anyway.

I originally heard about the site on the recommendation of the “Computing Forever” guy off YouTube & Bitchute (Irish bloke named Dave).

It is an alternative social media website called Minds, for people frustrated with some of the more popular social media websites having developed a bit of an itchy trigger finger on the ban button in recent years on people wishing to exercise free speech on even the most mundane topics.

Yahoo Groups to Get Canned

It has recently come to my attention that the managed decline of Yahoo is set to continue with the binning of another of the parts of their website I’ve most frequently used over the years.

This time it is the Yahoo Groups feature.

Web service provider Yahoo is to close its ill-fated social media platform, Yahoo Groups, in the coming weeks, as it has seen “a steady decline in usage” over the last several years.

Its closure means that users will no longer be able send or receive messages from their group members.

“Thank you for helping us build one of the earliest digital communities – we’re proud and honoured to have forged countless connections over the last 20 years and played a small part in helping build your communities,” a statement from Yahoo said.

I’m still on the backfoot after they previously canned Yahoo Messenger service.

Apparently you can read more about the latest installment of their managed decline here.

Don’t forget there is a messageboard chat forum here on AlltheInterweb Blogs that you can use to talk about a variety of topics like you’ll no longer be able to with Yahoo.

Tech Censorship News (23rd May 2020 Edition)

A couple of incidents of tech censorship I’ve seen pop up in my timeline today, and also the past week.

Education platform PragerU have been complaining that a video they created about climate change has been falsely labelled as “false information” by Facebook “fact checkers” who seem to think they know more about climate change than the experienced MIT Professor in the video, who just happens to be the world’s leading atmospheric scientist.
