Vmijo31 (@Namita3110) reported@DKBKCalendar Im trying to check out but any method I use I get an error. For credit cards: “an error occurred while processing your card” and this is for different ones. When I click PayPal that doesn’t open up either. Can you help me out?

DontSayThatDad (@DontSayThatDad) reported@carldemaio Whenever indictments such as this have come down in the past, web hosting companies have immediately shut down hosting services for org websites, and money processors such as PayPal have immediately ceased doing business with them too. Strangely, it hasn’t happened with the SPLC.

竜Sukuna (@HamzaKurosaki) reported@Blue_Brush3 @phoenixdante7 @Pirat_Nation Proof? Brother ts didn’t happen to any other game just in AKE and the “fix” is them just removing PayPal and if I remember correctly it was from AKE side

RiseWithin (@wholeWwellnes) reported@nikitabier @nikitabier Fair point on the heuristic, the PayPal-era lesson makes sense for spotting obvious bad actors who overreact when their exploits get shut down. That said, many of us who post original content and give consistent algorithm feedback aren't gaming the system. We're just trying to understand visibility drops, payout shifts, and what actually resonates now so we can create better. Vocal feedback helped shape improvements on other platforms, too. Would love more transparency (e.g., clearer impression breakdowns, flags, or "why this post reached X% verified users") to separate real signals from noise. That way, the platform keeps rewarding genuine creators while cleaning up fraud without collateral frustration. Appreciate the hard work pushing back on repost farms and low-effort stuff, just hoping the fixes evolve with input from those of us in the middle.

_gabrielShapir0 (@lex_node) reported@griffgreen "Paypal is shutting down people's accounts & stealing their money all the time." ...using the same power of confiscation that the security council has if you just want to be a better financial services provider than paypal, you can run a financial services company and comply with the applicable rules and regulations--you don't need a blockchain for that if you want to *guarantee* you will be a better financial services provider than paypal, there are also many interesting ways to do that and some of them might use blockchain but make no mistake--in the end, you are simply an intermediary. this is not "DeFi" and not a "DAO"

Todd Wilson (@twilson1970) reported@PayPal What makes you think it's ok to issue a refund to a consumer's disputed payment after the seller has provided PROOF of shipment & delivery of the order. You act like you're doing everyone a favor. The truth is this practice simply adds cost to businesses accepting paypal.
-
Aspen🐱 {Vristas} (@Aspensqueezy) reportedIs it wrong for me to open a PayPal dispute since the person who I haven’t paid the full amount to will not issue it/doesn’t want to. I was only planning to issue half amount of what I paid since I got screwed with bills and I won’t be receiving the product anymore

BigHat888 19th Ave 5J SLONE (@BigHat888) reported@DarkGiftComics You said the major issue was chasing down the Venmo and PayPal of everyone. You didn’t say anything about people being mad. I solved the problem for you.

Signal House (@SignalHouseSMS) reportedweekend thread: a brief history of the otp. 1980s, no otp. you're getting a callback from the bank. 2002, paypal mails you a paper check with two cent values to verify your account. yes really. 2007, sms otp shows up in banking. people complain it's slow. 2011, google introduces the authenticator app. nobody uses it for years. 2018, sms otp officially deemed insecure by NIST. used by everyone anyway. 2023, push otps overtake sms in some categories. sms still wins on coverage. 2026, half the apps reading this still use 4 digit codes that arrive 30 seconds late. we're not really an industry, we're a soap opera with carriers.

Venus☆Valentine (@_VenusValentine) reportedThere was a point in time where I literally didn’t have more than a dollar in my bank account and I was hungry af and within like and hour or so I got two notifications from PayPal saying I got a deposit and it was from a settlement payout I joined like a year prior The total amount I got was 50 dollars total This is exactly why I never turn those down because you never know what the payout will look like

Eva Fo𝕏 🦊 Claudius Nero's Legion (@EvaFox) reportedProud mom Maye Musk on her commitment to protecting her children: “I was fortunate to have three kids who were adventurous and responsible too. Of course, as I say, Elon is just my genius boy. I remember him saying to me after PayPal was out, should he do solar or electric cars or space? And I said, 'Well, just choose one.' Well, obviously, he didn't listen to me. 98% really appreciate what he does, but those 2% that are nasty, they are out there in full force being nasty all the time. And my children have to tie me down and so does my publicist, when something nasty comes out, because I'm ready to fight.”
