I haven’t made any fake Facebook accounts (since 2017) as far as I remember;
I don’t have any Excel files on my computer at all - I don’t understand how to work with them, lol;
I post very slowly, because in contradiction to Linda Meijer I’m not able to be online 24/7 and I post when I’m in the mood;
Yes, some dates I’ve found in DMCPAV Facebook group and saved them, but only someof them. Not everything that posted is taken exactly from DMCPAV. There are many other ways to find the info.
From day one I didn’t want to post anything. I’m not a public person. When I have sent the request to this group, I just wanted to have access to info/photos and videos for myself – not for sharing.Only after I was blockedtwicefor absolutely no reason I started to share something. Tiny bits compared to DMCPAV archive. I didn’t break any rules of the community, but they blocked me. The first time immediately after they accepted me. What have I done in 5 seconds? Jeez.
I do not arrogate the work of other people. Yes, I have shared something. I’m not the only one who did that.
Besides that I find a lot of info/photos and videos by myself.
I’m not doing it for likes/reposts/popularity. I do it for the young fans like me who:
weren’t even born in the 80s, for example (like me);
aren’t able go to the concerts and traveling with the band – and it’s not only because of money (like me);
aren’t able to buy merch or books, because they are living too far where even Visa/Mastercard/Paypal not available (like me);
who want to know everything about the band (like me);
for those, who want the most reliable info. DMCPAV is that kind of community, which could provide that. Unfortunately the community is closed. It really makes me sad that verified info, wonderful photos and videos won’t be seen by other fans.
That’s why I did what I did. I’ve made a mistake and I’m sorry. Please accept my apologies.
This is not my first fandom, btw. Before there were at least 5 serious fandoms. And in each and one of them people share rarities, facts, collect money to buy rare content (photos and videos). Why in this fandom nothing like this?
Linda Meijer and other DMCPAV admins have never personally talked to me on this topic.
I accepted the fact that I’ve been blocked a long time ago.
So I would highly appreciated if she stop witch-hunting.
“We uploaded this photo in our group in April 2018” - Not in April 2018. That person on VK posted it in April 2018. And you uploaded this photo in your group in 2017. Fact. Don’t try to provoke me, please. Maybe you re-uploaded it later. Not my problem.
“It is true that since January 2018, you have been searching pics+info by yourself” - I have been doing it even before January 2018.
“if people only want to observe our group, then they are welcome to join” - I think you are lying / downplaying, because since day one you blocked me for nothing. If you didn’t, I wouldn’t start posting all these photos and info.
“I sort of “revealed” my Tumblr name” - I knew who you were long before that. It wasn’t a big secret.
“I think this is your latest fake Facebook account BTW, with which you have been in our group for the past two weeks: https://www.facebook.com/opal.info” - I don’t know what sources you use, which make you think that this is my so-called fake page. It’s definetely not my page, not my fake page, I don’t know who Jil Johnson is, etc.
I posted this photo in August 2019, edited info in August (a f t er your comment) 2019, not in September 2019/October 2019/the past two weeks.
UPD(17/10/2019)
You say “it’s up to me”? Then why are you attacking me now? I didn’t post any info, which firstly appeared in DMCPAV group in 2018 or 2019. You need to remember better what and when you uploaded/re-uploaded before accusing people. And I was an observer for 10 month of 2016 only in your imagination.
We both know that in 2016 I wasn’t in DMCPAV. Also we both know that “Jill Johnson” isn’t my “fake account”. What even “a number of odd things about this Facebook account Jill Johnson” you are talking about?
I’ve posted almost everything that took from the group in 2017.
Anyway, here’s the story.
In 2016 I was more oriented on VK communities Depeche Mode NewsandDave Gahan Forums.I had no idea about your existence, till that moment when Depeche Mode News mentioned DMCPAV (here, for example: https://vk.com/wall-52768949_13000). I send a request to your group on the 1st of March 2017 (perhaps on the 28th of February). I was banned on the 1st of March 2017. I wasn’t there even for 5 seconds as I mentioned earlier. Maybe I wasn’t banned exactly by you, maybe by Andy McMinn or any of the other admins. It’s not really the case. I thought then: “Maybe my account does not meet some of your requirements? [Don’t know which… besides DM on my account was a couple of topics…] Ok.”
Later on the 25th of March 2017Depeche Mode News posted your video: https://vk.com/wall-52768949_18438. In that moment I decided to enter DMCPAV again. I found out that there are true professionals who publish the most full and checked info. And that’s what I needed as a young fan. I needed some education on the topic (not myths, which Internet and books (partly) is full of). That’s why I’ve decided to make another “proper” account. I sent the request to DMCPAV on the 29th (28th?) of June 2017. On the 29th of June 2017 I was blocked. A couple of hours I was just an observer on the moment of the second entry. You did not find it necessary to inform me what I did wrong. You just commented with the links to my private accounts on other social networks. ??? Only after this unfair moment I reacted emotionally and posted some photos giving a credit to DMCPAV. I didn’t plan to start a blog “Today in DM History”,Because on the 29th of June 2017 I didn’t save any information - I was banned very fast (couple of hours later), lol. If I posted some dates in the period of June to August that was dates of that time concerts, which was impossible not to know. Later I edited the info of old posts with DMCPAV photos. With a help of some dates and info which I saved from your community. In 2018 I decided to correct some info of those photos which other people leaked, yes. I think it deserved to be done. In admiration of your work. I mean, I indicate the source and info,I specify that photos not one of mine or one of those who leaked them. Sometimes I don’t have enough energy or time, so I edit submission after the post was created. You know, you can edit posts on Tumblr as many times as you like.
So, in my DMCPAV story wasn’t a 10 month of observation.
The end.
You made a mistake. Or make fun of me because you know this whole story so well.
I checked your Tumblr daily because:
1. There was a precedentalready[here] when you posted a couple of private accounts on social networks behind people’s backs. This is unacceptable. There wasn’t any of DMCPAV content. Of course I keep an eye on you.
2. From time to time you’ve posted interesting DM-related content, which I reblogged, when it was possible.
Your worries understandable. But this is too much.
I apologized. I admitted I was wrong. I don’t steal your last money or food. I know that some info (magazines, for example) costs money, but at the same time you’ve posted them on DMTVArchives for free.
I give a credit. I indicate the sources.
Yes, I was in your group a couple of times during 2017. But not in 2016. Not in 2018. Not in 2019. Facts.
I don’t have a desire to post anything DM-related anymore.
I haven’t made any fake Facebook accounts (since 2017) as far as I remember;
I don’t have any Excel files on my computer at all - I don’t understand how to work with them, lol;

[small, tentative voice] I… think it’s good actually? If people come back here from Twitter? And new people show up? Maybe it’s awesome that more people want to be gremlins again? And… maybe more people will pay money to keep the hellsite going?
Maybe don’t be dicks about it? Let people come in, and give them a little raccoon mask and teach them how to have grubby little raccoon paws.
Except for the brands. We will absolutely play hopscotch in their chest cavities.
Awright. So, I don’t pull the “I’m old and I’ve seen shit so shut up and listen” card very often, but…
[text from Twitter user evacide: “Some of you have never had your home on the internet crumble beneath you like chalk, and it shows.”]
You will realize that there are people you only know in a online space, and you will realize it when that space goes dark. You won’t know the size and shape of space it takes up in your head and heart until it vanishes. Those little interactions on a daily, weekly, monthly, or even occasional basis mean nothing until they’re gone, and suddenly there’s a weird fucking hollow space when an icon on the other end of a screen just isn’t there anymore - and not just one, but multitudes are gone.
You won’t understand how you’re mourning just a silly website, until you realize the way your day or week flowed around it like water around a boulder in a stream. Is it better or worse? That’s not the question - how different is it? And how does that difference feel?
The first time a BBS I dialed into went dark, I realized there were people I enjoyed talking with that I would never chat with again. It’s like they fell off the earth. “Were they friends” is not the question - suddenly there was a thunderclap of silence because people who had been there were suddenly gone, and I knew I would never ever talk with them again.
It’s just a stupid hellsite until you realize it’s all people. And you’re a human animal who is hardwired to notice the absence of other humans. Capitalism foundationally sucks, but it is the foundation. Good or bad, right or wrong, money goes in and hellsite comes out. If money stops, hellsite goes away. You’re looking at one of the last big bastions of old-school weirdness out there. They’re not offering participatory monetization like ad-free and blaze to get rich, they’re doing it to keep the lights on.
Some of you have never suddenly lost a social network, and it really shows.
THIS. i’ve made a couple of jokes here and there, but i’ve lost usenet and livejournal and people from both of those i’ll never find again. it sucks. it completely fucking sucks.
sometime in… mm maybe 2015 or 2016 I tidied up my Dreamwidth, and I deleted the mute RSS feed channels it had automatically imported for me in 2009 when I set it up, of over a hundred Livejournal friends who had not made the jump, and whose LJ feeds had since gone dark.
And I wept as I did it, I sobbed like a heartbroken child, because every one of those was a person, a person whose contact information I did not have, a person I will never find again. People I’d known for years, I’d kept tabs on closely or loosely, whose vent posts I’d read, whose lives I’d intersected with in some small way.
I’ve only ever re-found two or three of those old Livejournal friends, here or on Facebook or Dreamwidth… A few were people I knew IRL, but the vast majority were not, and I will never know what happened to them.
il apparaît comme un give vous ne pouvez pas refuser, bien que la nouvelle façon, locale de vérification et de recherches sur les titres pour plus de réseau social de la planète propose une sélection d'options intéressantes. Dernièrement écrivains en ligne - traditionnels et nouveaux médias - ont de plus en plus le trafic Internet qui vient de Facebook. Avant de commencer Facebook pour chercher quelque chose en retour, il a été un sujet de la période. Eh bien, voilà massue pour éclore: articles instantanée est fourni en partie en donnant messages et aussi d'autres types d'informations marketing de plusieurs commerçants (BBC, Bild, The Guardian, The Date York Times, BuzzFeed, nationaux et régionaux NBC News, entre autres ). Contenu qui pourraient généralement regarder sur leur Facebook stranicama.U pense que l'information qui est indigène à accélérer l'expertise de lecture sur leur système en place. Ils ont fourni des fonctionnalités en ligne que les commerçants peuvent utiliser dans le cadre des établissements proposés tels que des films de samopokretaju, le zoom et la lajkanja des risques et des observations sur les pièces personnelles de l'article. Bien sur, vous trouverez la publicité, que les éditeurs de force, les recettes peuvent maintenir, pour eux-mêmes ou utiliser Audience Cercle de Facebook à monétiser l'inventaire invendu. Sera en mesure d'observer en outre leur propre trafic, en utilisant comScore et d'autres instruments. La première balle ne semble pas si mauvaise. Mais, quand vous regardez de près, le risque pour les éditeurs est notable: il peut arriver que les visiteurs finissent visitant leurs ces sites si la connaissance de lecture sur Facebook pour être plus fascinante et plus agréable, qui Facebook peut fournir un effet étendu sur leur entreprise, mais aussi et info sur ce contenu et le public. Et cela est un euphémisme. Nous sommes en mesure de, inutile de le dire, négliger le programme MEDIA de Facebook, mais risquer donc une baisse du trafic ou du moins que de documenter ce que le matériau fourni dans le programme local.
L'organisation atmosphère est pas un amateur de Microsoft, aussi il semble que ni les surfaces de l'UE.

We all (read marketers, brands, so-called influencers) want our audiences to share more.
The challenge is the more they share, the more difficult it becomes to find the stuff that matters. Hijacked by the open graph, drowned out by the sponsored posts and lost amidst autoplay videos, signals become increasingly hard to decipher from the noise.
In short, network news feeds start becoming an anonymous junkyard of everything online.
To mitigate this and to cater to different demographics, network platforms seek refuge in classic unbundling. It keeps the audience engaged and creates more advertising nodes for brands to target.
Interested in instant messaging - use our messenger service
Interested in pictures - here is our camera app
and so it goes….
Sharing is crucial for growth when it is within the context of interpersonal influence. Ironically though, an integrated platform approach makes this untenable, since the influence factor weakens tremendously.
Why?
Because,
Influence needs sharing
sharing needs interpersonal context
an integrated platform often loses interpersonal context
So after watching five cat videos on autoplay, followed by the best memes of the game last night, and the ad on how to earn $10,000 a month from home doing nothing- interpersonal signals can be difficult to harness.
For sharing to drive signals (and thereby influence), network platforms need disintegration, unlike SaaS platforms where sometimes an integrated approach can drive better customer lock-ins with higher aggregated LTV.
Which then brings us to the literal billion dollar question -
Will the Snapchat redesign work?
Evan Spiegel wants to split social from media, which is tricky, because the media (investment dollars) is based on the stickiness of social on the same platform (UX)/newsfeed.
#NTWEWYSN <– (SN = Social Network) Will be a new hashtag for this series… yes, series. The shopkeepers are honestly so damn interesting that I want to make a series on them just for pure fun.
I think I like the red one more but it was frustrating that I did all that coloring for nothing. Lol. So here are 2 versions!
I also made little video & put up the character profiles. Also sorry for the shotty filming. I’m left-handed and have zero coordination. Also, they sing Tatakai (the son in the vid) in my headcannon. Fight me.
How many time have you actually read the Terms of Service (TOS), or Privacy policies on websites, services and social media that you use? It’s so boring and tedious, right? What if there is a way to make it simple to decode and likely for you to check them out? What if it was interesting enough to make you WANT to check them out.
I had a dream once, a vision, I wanted to do something, so, I…
The majority of the major social apps we’ve been using for a decade were not designed to be good businesses. Some became massive ones, by doing one, or all, of the five things things WhatsApp didn’t want Facebook to do. But many more platforms are still stuck in a perpetual state of being terrible and, thus, good. Twitter and Tumblr are both fantastic examples of this bizarre tension, with user bases that are valuable in vastly different ways, but drawn to the apps because of features that make them unmonetizeable. Tumblr is essentially the greatest archive of possible copyright infringement ever created, which has led to an inscrutable and dense remix culture that conversely also drives a lot of what’s cool online. Meanwhile, Twitter is a poorly-incentivized battle royal for rich people, artists, and furries that only works because the barrier of entry for logging on and threatening to kill a columnist you don’t like is low enough that you can do it while still enraged from something you read while on the toilet.
this has been sitting in my inbox to put on here for awhile now, but once again, such a perfect articulation here from Garbage Day of what makes Tumblr special and unique in today’s internet. also aligns with the new Strange Aeons video about Tumblr Blaze (worth watching).
#3 in my holy trinity list of Possible Things That Can Make Tumblr Financially Sustainable is finally kicking off work on now, so we’ll see if we can make this ship sustainable.
Technology Training Inequality - From Worldie.com: To All #SocialNetworks - Do NOT train content review to see only #misogynist female vs male examples of exploitation or victimization. Women are ALSO VICTIMS.
WOMEN are also victims of financial sextortion (which should be sextortion alone). Females can also get nude photos from MEN.
MEN AND WOMEN should work together. Men should not be afraid of women or trained to be that way. I won’t be complicit in gender #inequality.
There is female enhancement also.
Also, self-harm -> I created Everyday Psych Victims Project and Motivationology.org -> Do not vilify them and “in the name of” is not promotion of it. Also, escalation is slow.
If you want an #egalitarian world or crime reduced or a more peaceful world, go to Worldie.com
Interestingly, many workers at #Facebook do not actually use the platform. Or they forget their login. #AntiTrust- #nonprofits are better.
