My first Weibo post to get blocked~ So excited~ Gotta save an archive~ What got blocked was a repost, but the original post wasn’t blocked, and they just blocked me directly. Looks like it really was these two lines I posted that caught their eye. What I said was perfectly ordinary—why on earth was it blocked? Do they really think this sentence is threatening?

For the very first piece, I unconditionally accept the outrageously, ridiculously expensive page fee, but if you ask me for it again after that, we’ll have to talk it over~
阅读全文Today Suixuan and the Forum on the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology were down again for most of the day, and the quality of customer service was also quite worrisome. After submitting a support ticket, the customer service staff who solve technical problems always respond only after the issue has been fixed, so I can hardly find out what exactly went wrong; as for the front-desk customer service on the web interface, they are often totally clueless, and even when I inquire about purchasing services, they respond slowly, with a poor attitude, and still know nothing about anything.
