I thought as much. I suppose I'm just contradicting myself here; running away from a centralised platform trying to create another one. It doesn't make sense. I agree, dcentralisation will benefit creators the most. Thanks for taking the time to provide the links.

Postfix is actually quite easy to configure. Exim is what you're thinking of.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have similar experience or have seen reports from people being banned from outlook.com in a similar fashion (random bans for no reason)?

So you would rather have someone who works 8h and timestamps their time, but performs worse than someone else who achieves the same or more in less time but doesn't document every minute they spend not working in a shift?

The government is already doing that for me. My tax contributions go towards pension, healthcare, public services... I don't have to worry about taking a bank loan to go to the hospital or what I'm going to do when I retire.

I used to take things for granted, now news like "I have to pay $30k for Corona virus hospital treatment" make me appreciate being born in "socialist" Europe. To each their own.

I will happily pay 45% tax on my salary knowing the Gov has my back in difficult times like these. I'm fortunate enough to still have a job, but I'm happy I live in Europe.

I'm so happy this made the news. I signed it and I wrote to my local representative about the petition too.

I'm a 35y old guy and I was never anti-porn, I was always pro-porn. However, few weeks ago I read an article on BBC (it was posted on HN I think) about a 14y old girl being gang raped, rapists pardoned and the rape video uploaded to Pornhub. Pornhub refused to remove the video at first, they later did when the girl wrote a letter pretending to be a lawyer.

Imagine having to go through all that and still be mentally strong enough to deal with your peers mocking you and millions of strangers masturbating to the torture you went through. Imagine being the parent. Reading that article changed how I view porn. It also changed my life in a way. God knows how many videos that end up on Pornhub (and the likes) are rape or pedophilia and we don't even know it. I haven't browsed since and probably won't watch porn ever again.

These corporations need to be held responsible. If we can do it in retail and tech, then so can we regular porn industry a bit.
