We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Ugh, meanwhile I can't change my accounts email. It demands an otp sent to an email that was deleted by the provider.

Even though I enter the correct password, it won't let me in. And I can't change the email of my own account!

i have a number of clients who are locked out of a valid account, while knowing the correct password, having the correct sms capable phone number, having the correct email. these are grandma types who've never posted anything more offensive than cat pictures and knitting memes. some haven't even been able to make a new account, either. facebook support is literally non-existent unless you're a 'high profile' person.
