I understand joking about the CDC because like at this point the jokes write themselves but also…….like they failed us. This country has failed us. That’s actually really serious

Hi :)
First off: Really thanks for all the work you and @bannedtags do.
I see a lot of people screaming at staff, which I get, they made a lot of weird decisions but to some degree this website has always still been functional and we always found a way around stuff. I worked Customer Service myself, so here's what helps because people have to scream at Apple! And any other company who tries to sanitize the internet, otherwise I'll soon have to read fanfics on P*rnh*b.
1. Delete the app, leave it a really bad review, air your frustration and then change to Desktop. But especially mention APPLE in your reviews.
1.1. Leave a bad review on the Apple
2. Chat with Apple Customer Service and tell them!
2.1. Go here, click "Apps & Features" -> "Topic is not listed" -> Write App Update is a joke or something in the text field -> You should get the Chat option.
2.2. Tell them what happened (CS probably is NOT aware, no one tells them shit), and why it is ridiculous, if words like "antis*mit*sm" (<- ridiculous!) really should be b*nned and ask why this doesn't apply to Twitter, Reddit or Facebook apps.
2.3. If they tell you are at the wrong place with them, ask them where to go with this. Ask them for an email address. So you can send your complain there.
2.4. If they tell you, they can't give you an email address, be that person and ask for a manager (politely!!!!). Everyone that's behind an advisor, can do more shit and escalate it further until it reaches people who actually have to say something.
2.5. Be nice to the person you talk to, they're just trying to get around and any case DON'T leave THEM a bad review. However this survey is phrased EVERY answer reflects on the advisor, NOT on the company. People can loose their jobs over bad surveys, even if it's NOT against them. DON'T. DO. THIS. (If there's JUST a textbox for one question, like leave a comment, leave a comment there!)
3. Here's the thing, if enough people do this, Customer Service has to act. They can't be spammed with 500 chat requests over this ONE issue a day, keeping them from working on everything they should work on, like broken phones. If enough people do it, they have to escalate it further because they see it's indeed a problem for people and that it reflects bad on the company.
4. Just leave bad reviews for Apple everywhere and mention this is why. You can't review the Apple App Store, I believe. However there are multiple Apple Apps you can review. Also Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Just write it in the comments, tweet at them, whatever :)
5. Does it do something? Maybe, maybe not. Still better than just screaming at staff for this.
Here’s some things that might be helpful for everyone!
For anyone having trouble reading the text in black (I’m hoping there wasn’t any good reason for it to be in black instead of white):
“2.1. Go here click "Apps & Features" → "Topic is not listed" — Write App Update is a joke or something in the text field – You should get the Chat option.
2.2. Tell them what happened (CS probably is NOT aware, no one tells them shit), and why it is ridiculous, if words like "antis*mit*sm" ( ridiculous!) really should be b*nned and ask why this doesn't apply to Twitter, Reddit or Facebook apps.

Reblogging for visibility issues in original post. Thank you @pencildrawer12 !
Don’t be rude or demanding to apple support. They deal with an ungodly amount of abuse already.
Go to apple dot com/ feedback, no spaces or ask them to make a complaint for you ( or both). Leave feedback in the App Store and mention why in the comments.

Comic on having long-COVID as a young person. Sending love to others who may be similarly suffering.
(ID under the cut)
This is getting traction again as cases surge. I want to repeat what I’ve said on Twitter: In the 4 months since I’ve posted this, none of my symptoms have improved. I’m nearing 2 years post-COVID with zero improvement, no answers, and little hope. Take this seriously.

Heres your reminder to use literally anything but chrome
And here's your reminder that Firefox actively works to protect your privacy and prevent tracking.
Firefox also has “Facebook fence” which is used to contain Facebook into isolated tabs that prevent tracking as you browse, since so many sites have social media plugins/ads that help collect data for Facebook and other apps.
You can tell Firefox to fence in Facebook in the browser preferences. Also a good time to change your search engine to DuckDuckGo and leave Google search behind (or only use it with another browser that’s separate from daily use).
The EFF (OP of the tweet) has various types of privacy tools that they’ve created. Some are browser plugins. I recommend going to their site to learn more about internet privacy and advocacy (and donating a few bucks if you can spare it). https://www.eff.org/pages/tools
Seriously: if it’s a Google product, they’re fucking spying on you, okay? Get a VPN.
