Okay so, writing directly to Ma.tt, since I have used his creation since 2007, and think he is a genius and Free Press and all that. An experience I have just had with my old blog valentinebonnaire.com — I seem to have been totally erased from the WEB, and I honestly think it was purposeful censorship so I want you to know. Here is a screenshot I was able to get of it. And since I am not as savvy as all of you tech types at least you know that if you see a pic of me, that is ME. Okay? I am trying to remember how I first even found WP, but it was YEARS AGO! I was being published for my short stories and so I wanted a web page as an author. So I was using my nom de plume in 2007 and I can’t even remember what my email was at that time but it might have been that through Cox as dial up internet? That is how long ago. So here is the front page! The blogs were so beautiful to see as they evolved and you grew up and frankly became “Gutenberg” which people who used to work at newspapers like myself, well, could we ever appreciate what you made!
Okay so, trying to find out what went wrong and remedy that. Right now you and Elon Musk are my two favorite people in al the web. Because, many reasons for that but First Amendment and so forth.
So, I am no longer in GOOGLE. I always was.
I always loved how you said “Code is Poetry” — well, okay so. Cox was how I must have paid you or not paid you and now all that email is GONE and the WP emails went always to spam folder so maybe I messed up? Or was this blog always free? Geez. It is 10000000000000’s of words and very deep research from Depth Psychology on things so to just be wiped clean? My god. Okay. So, I only plan on writing under my real name now, but this is me from 2007 – to the last post in 2018. Remember what WP looked like in 2007? And then how it evolved! So. Something happened and I have told Elon about it and now you. In Facebook I had posted a few links to stories, and also to a piece of political investigative journalism I did in 08.
Well.
Then I was disappeared.
Was this something FB did?
Has my blog been censored by either a robot or AI?
I am a human being and a female. Yes those are words. To describe who I am. But, as a writer to lose all the stuff I said is really bad. There is almost no way to describe the hurt.
So I took a screenshot for you. I had to go to Wikipedia and look up who owned the search engines? I said that on X, with links. I was one of the ones who was kicked off Twitter and erased, and that really hurt, but after Elon bought it I went back. I woud not have known of it unless I had had my WP blog. In fact I think I learned of Facebook in 2009ish from here at WP?
Here is a picture
So — I want to be able to get myself back? Somehow. Only how to do that?
Having email here has been so great because it is a clean slate and frankly WP has always been home and so no mail will ever go to spam. If I need to pay for my domain name can I do that? I just want to restore all those words that are my intellectual property in the moment. Also the pictures and so forth. So let me show you just one post, not even the memoir I was relooking at in there – I put this one into FB, and then poof. I was GONE from Google. Just like that. Totally gone.
Here is a picture — this was a political link. But I also had a few on the memoir there as well and now you can’t click through to read.
This from 2008
So in Reader I found myself! But, I want to be able to use the search the words bar I had on the front page of that old blog, because, oh the levels of research I wrote, and not only that but memoir too. Also photos! So the last post has a picture of my dog Odin and I got his as a rescue from the Humane, well you can see him again on this blog if you look at about me. This PROVES it is me. https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/51572301 that is ME and can you tell me how to proceed to get myself back, needs experts at WordPress hopefully human who can understand how, and just thank you for what you created, from so very young, until today, for the entire world.
Many thanks,
Adrienne
