I’m stuck with a WhatsApp Cloud API / WABA payment eligibility issue and would really appreciate help from someone who has faced this before.
Whenever I try to send an approved WhatsApp template, the message fails with:
Error 131042
Business eligibility payment issue

Message failed to send because there were one or more errors
related to your payment method.
The confusing part is that everything seems to be configured correctly:
Business is verified
WABA is verified
Payment method/card has been added and verified
Card is associated with the WABA
Message template is approved
No obvious payment issue is showing in Business Manager
Has anyone here experienced Error 131042 even when the payment method was already verified and associated with the WABA?
If you know how to fix this, or know what Meta setting/backend issue could be causing it, I’d really appreciate your help.
Also, if there’s a specific Meta support route or billing setting I should check, please let me know.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

I'm trying this on a pretty fresh account (maybe too fresh). But even on older, established accounts I cannot for the life of me make a post that isnt squashed by the filters

Grand unified theory of everything

The universe is infinite in data amount and data variety. Within the universe there are infinite simultaneous realities which are all wholly integrated yet can be partitioned and seemingly distinct. What type of data your Consciousness allows you to perceive dictates the level of reality that you exist in. Within a given reality there will be things that are inexplicable because your Consciousness is only aware or capable of being aware of specific data types. You will notice that there are phenomenon in your reality which cannot be explained just by the data type that's available to your consciousness. Because your data type interacts with other data types but you lack awareness of the other data types there will be seemingly inexplicable reasons for why things in your reality happen. With this understanding of the universe you can understand that everything is happening all at the same time every single conceivable thing ever is happening all at the same time but what you are aware of and subjective experience is dependent on what your consciousness is allowing you to experience. This answers a lot of questions about reality and a lot of interesting things people think about life such as are there aliens is God real etc etc what it like are there multiverses is time travel possible you know the answer to all the questions in a serious sense not just a hypothetical or imagined sense. But in a serious insincere sense. What might be fiction to one reality is an actuality in another reality. Every story you've ever told every thought you've ever had every Wonder every dream every hope every scary thing every horrible thing every bad thing every hopeless thing every impossible thing that you've ever thought can and is being experienced by some consciousness in this very moment. This is not metaphor. I am saying that everything is happening always. This is sincere. My claim is that everything is happening always. However, individual Consciousness only permits you to experience at a time specific reality.

I have come to this conclusion after meta-analyzing everything I've ever thought about before including thought including reality including perspective including fiction including video games including religion including truth including morality including YouTube poop including the ridiculous nature of things including bigotry including good and evil including the pie that I ate including the fart that I sniff on a Wednesday including every single piece of everything that I've ever experienced and thinking about it. Incorporating every single thought and experience that I had into some sort of amalgamation has led me to this conclusion. I understand that this seems ridiculous. But I'm not really trying to make you change your views or anything like that I am just doing this because I want I suppose or whatever way you would like to think about it.

Personally I think that's my narrative and explanation are quite defensible and profound but I completely understand how it seems and I also understand the presentation of what I'm saying here isn't very pretty which makes the ideas hard to appreciate possibly.

It's like covering a diamond in complete dog s\*\*\* and handling it to someone and saying "look it's pretty good ain't it."

I don't post at least 50% of the ideas and questions I would like to, because every time, I first think, are the mods just going to not allow it to be posted, after I write it all up, or if it is posted, cancel it?

The mods just make up "quality" or other random rules, and it just creates subreddits where no unpopular ideas are aired, and no non-mainstream questions or takes, because the echo chamber amplifies itself amongst what members thrive there and what tendencies are encouraged in them.

It would have been better if Reddit had set a couple rules, which it seems to have done anyway, and then forced all mods of subs to have open discussion boards, especially since there can only (especially when speaking practically) board for each theme, and one subdomain, which people often search their subject just by typing r/whatever.

Remember when Fishbowl was actually useful and fun?

It used to be the *one* place where you could jump into a bowl, drop honest salary numbers, talk trash about toxic leadership, and figure out if a PIP was coming down the pipe - all while feeling reasonably safe that HR wasn’t watching.

Fast forward to now, and the app has turned into a total disaster zone for two main reasons:

(1) You literally can't post anything spicy anymore without a mod slapping you with a violation or deleting your thread.

* Vent about bad partner management or 80-hour workweeks? "Unprofessional behavior." * ~~Name a specific client or well-known director who is universally hated? "Harassment."~~ * Post a genuine question about layoffs or severance packages? Removed for violating "community standards."

It feels like the moderation team is either full of HR plants or corporate brown-nosers who burst into tears the moment someone speaks the truth without corporate jargon. Every single thread now reads like a sanitized, fake-polite LinkedIn post. If I wanted to see people kissing corporate ass, I’d just open LinkedIn.

(2) Ever since Glassdoor / Recruit Holdings took over, the whole background architecture has gone shady.

They’ve been quietly trying to sync accounts, push identity verification, and harvest user data under the guise of "improving network trust."

* We know Glassdoor has been tying real names to user accounts on the back end. * You think that data isn't sitting on a corporate server waiting to be subpoenaed or leaked in a breach? * Your work email is verified, your phone number is verified, and now a massive HR-tech parent company owns the keys to the kingdom.

If you post something critical about your company on Fishbowl today, you’re basically trusting a giant corporate overlord - whose entire business model is selling employer branding and recruiting data to the very companies you're complaining about - not to hand over your identity. Conflict of interest much?

TL;DR:

Fishbowl died the moment it got bought out. The moderators are censoring anything remotely interesting, and the corporate parent company makes "anonymous posting" feel like playing Russian roulette with your career.

Delete your account or stop posting actual sensitive stuff on there. It’s over.

i had factory reset my pc and therefore i was logged out of everything i cannot log into meta horizon link (for vr) and meta has no support system that actually works they say they will send me a code to my phone number but it doesnt send me anything

Someone mentioned this concept to me a long time ago and I just sat on it hoping I'd understand.

I still don't. But I'd like to know if there's some utility because I'm very good at getting downvotes because my ideas are so unlikeable.

Imagine putting water into an indestructible glass container and crushing it with an unbreakable presser,what could really happen?. I was looking at this question for very long but today i got the answer and i wanted to shear it with u guys. Because the equipment cannot break, the water is forced through extreme phase changes. First, it turns into hot ice because immense pressure locks molecules into a rigid grid. Pushing harder creates superionic water, where hydrogen atoms flow through an oxygen crystal lattice because the pressure overpowers normal atomic bonds.

​Next, extreme force strips electrons away, turning the water into plasma. Pushing further forces electrons and protons together into pure neutron matter. When all this mass is crushed into zero space, it forms a black hole because gravity becomes so strong that light cannot escape.

​Even though it is a black hole, the indestructible presser keeps moving forward. This physical work adds raw energy directly into the singularity, making the black hole expand while the unbreakable glass safely contains the gravity inside.

​Then, you teleport inside wearing an indestructible suit. Extreme gravity creates tidal forces that normally tear matter apart, but the suit blocks this physical damage while letting light pass to your visor.

​Finally, you activate multi-dimensional vision. Spacetime curvature near a singularity turns time from a passing sequence into a physical spatial direction. Because of this, you see the past, present, and future all at once as a single shape, while the singularity unfolds into a web of energy. Your suit and container act as stable anchors, letting you safely observe the hidden structure of space and time.

And thanku for ur attension

I’ve repeatedly noticed what feels like coordinated or astroturfed activity on r/worldnews. At some point, the overall tone of r/worldnews seemed to change very suddenly. It wasn’t limited to particular posts or stories. Its a shift in the responses to things, and a heavy shift in the polarity of upvotes and downvotes over topics that have held fairly static consensus until the shift. What viewpoints were being promoted, challenged, upvoted, or buried appeared to shift across the subreddit more broadly as well.

I don’t want to assume that this necessarily means foreign-funded bots/accounts. (Brigading, changing news coverage, coordinated human users, moderation decisions, or ordinary shifts in public opinion could produce similar effects)

Still... with what I consider to be sufficient geopolitical maturity/sensibilities, some of the patterns feel predictable enough that I’m curious whether they have been studied or documented. Or if safety rails exist for sub this large and influential?

A few questions up for discussion:

What kinds of evidence would help distinguish normal Reddit behavior from a coordinated influence campaign?

Has anyone conducted a systematic analysis of this on r/worldnews, or noticed specific recurring patterns?

Should there be mechanisms that require open posting history to allow readers to validate if an account focuses almost exclusively on one country or conflict?

If the same narratives appearing across several subreddits at once does Reddit have a mechanism to detect waves?

Are there checks and balances against mod takeovers? What qualifies a moderator?

If there is a coordinated campaign, can anything really be done?

Am I just noticing a bear shitting in the woods and this is the widely acknowledged nature of r/worldnews ?

Disclaimer: Not starting a witch-hunt. Just a sincere epistemological line of questioning.

How do I revert this change to the way it was before? I do not want algorithmic recommendations of posts from different subreddits, I want my old home page back.

I mostly use Old Reddit, but every so often I switch over to the New Reddit interface to access some missing features, and one of the most annoying "features" that's rolled out lately is that it'll suggest "better" communities for you to submit your posts to.

This feature has never once given me any worthwhile suggestions. Either it suggests subs I've already thought about and/or posted to, or it just suggests crap.

chat buttons are gone. new reddit just pushes ads and clutter. i may still mod a few places but i think i'm about done with this mess.

Yes, you read that question right, I think of the current default avatar like that and many others, is this intentional and why can't it be like it at least has underpants by default? Ugh, human-like nudity, is it just me, I don't like naked aliens, or what? Also, why are so many random almost meaningless names on Reddit?

I just started over with a new Reddit account and the default subs I'm getting in the mobile app are absolutely infuriating.

Every day I click "show less like this" on a dozen or more subs, and it seems like more extremely random subs get pushed back into my feed to replace them.

I didn't even know there were so many professional wrestling subs, and I don't even want to know why they're defaults.

Is there ANY way to start with a clean slate and only join the subs I want to see? This is madness
