My name is Alyx - I'm some queer nerd from Germany! I first became fully active here in November 2024, although I've done some prior edits here and there before then.

If I did an edit you would like to discuss, please do not contact me outside Wikipedia communities. Instead, try contacting me by pinging or messaging me via the Wikipedia:Discord or through the talk page on my profile or on the article I edited. Don't rattle me like bunq via their helpdesk.{{Cite web |last=Pascoe |first=Robin |date=2024-12-19 |title=Online bank Bunq contacts social media critics directly |url=https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/12/online-bank-bunq-contacts-social-media-critics-directly/ |access-date=2024-12-23 |website=DutchNews.nl |language=en-GB}}

History
Just a few days into my Wikipedia career in November 2024, dutch neobank bunq personally identified and contacted me via the in-app helpdesk after I reverted a change that removed the controversy section of the article. When I shared what has happened online, ironically, I was the one being criticized for violating the privacy of the bunq employee that contacted me.{{Cite web |title=Bunq ondervraagt klant via bankapp na onlinekritiek |url=https://fd.nl/financiele-markten/1540577/bunq-ondervraagt-klant-via-bankapp-na-onlinekritiek |access-date=2024-12-19 |website=FD.nl |language=nl}} Bunq refused to comment anything elaborate, just stating that some things were factually incorrect.{{Cite web |title=FD: Bunq spoort klant achter anoniem Wikipedia-account op na kritiek - update |url=https://tweakers.net/nieuws/229962/fd-bunq-spoort-klant-achter-anoniem-wikipedia-account-op-na-kritiek.html |access-date=2024-12-19 |website=Tweakers |language=NL}} The bunq CEO Ali Niknam called the criticism wishful thinking.{{Cite web |title=Bunq-oprichter Ali Niknam: ‘Kritiek op ons heeft te maken met wensdenken’ |url=https://fd.nl/bedrijfsleven/1540349/bunq-oprichter-ali-niknam-de-kritiek-op-ons-heeft-te-maken-met-wensdenken |access-date=2024-12-21 |website=FD.nl |language=nl}} If you want to read more about this, I wrote about this on bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/alyx.snark.gay/post/3ldoshxbdac2i here]. After this happened, I went inactive for a few months.
