holistio

Hi all,

I've just noticed two of my Facebook pages are gone without a trace, so is my ad account associated with them.

They've been fairly inactive, but I'm pretty sure I haven't posted anything violating the ToS.

I've just spent more than an hour wandering around the incoherent cesspool that Meta calls Accounts Center and Meta Business Suite, I can't find a trace of the existence of these accounts.

I'm not sure when they disappeared, these were reserved for something I've been building and as I was getting ready for launch I just noticed I can't access them and typing their URL just gives "This content isn't available right now"

Both pages had a couple hundred real followers.

Has anyone gone through anything similar?

I am building a platform that enables the monetisation of content.

The idea is that you can buy and sell individual pieces of content and not get into subscription hell on either side.

It's https://vernus.one, but it's still pretty empty, I'm not really here to sell it.

I'm trying to figure out channels where I could contact writers to join.

I'm old enough to remember stuff like 9Rules which gathered great writers, but cannot find such places anymore, at least not of that quality. I mostly find good blogs by randomly stumbling into them on HN.

Can you recommend curations of good blogs? I'd love to reach out to the authors with some early bird offers.

TLDR: I'm looking for a new language that's different than most that's also usable for building something useful.

For context: I consider myself an experienced programmer, I'm well-versed in Ruby and JavaScript, built massive projects in teams and on my own.

I learn languages that have roots close to C relatively quickly. That is, if I have to fix something in a Python repo, I probably can.

I also enjoy learning human languages, and after a while there are patterns, learning the basics of another Latin language is pretty easy.

I'm looking for the Swahili and the Japanese of programming. Something completely different, that will expand the ways I'm thinking about programming.

I don't really see much benefit in learning Swift or Rust in that regard.

I previously gave Clojure a try, that was a pretty good fit, but the JVM / ecosystem put me off.

It's important that I also want to be able to build something fun and hopefully also useful using my new knowledge.
