And if war breaks out and many countries are crippled (think post-nuclear apocalypse) that'll help that case too. Not saying it will happen but it could.
For all the people saying it's the instance trying to cover themselves, No. This is a mod account which is not an admin nor appears to be affiliated with the Admins. This is very clearly a person trying to frame criticism of Zionism as antisemitic to attempt to suppress criticism of Israel and their actions. PTB.
It's not "a bit misleading" for them to call it unlimited and then ban people for using too much data, it's extremely misleading, almost bordering on scammy. If I were OP I would've done a chargeback and switched VPNs instead of begging them for an unban. They deserve it for lying and trying to deceive customers. Vote with your wallet (and chargebacks) if you want companies to stop doing shitty shady like this.

Yeah April fools day has much darker history and connotations than most people realize.
I agree, this community should be a place to discuss mod abuse, not bellyache over transphobia and hate speech being censored or being banned from it. Such discourse makes this community extremely toxic and unusable to vulnerable groups, it also creates inherent bias here favoring alt-right shitheads.
I think @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone would very much agree with this decision as well.
Just wanted to share for people who moderate communities that Tesseract lets you see who voted on a post or comment. This means that as moderators you finally have the ability to take action against users who downvote every post in your community or who vote with multiple accounts, or similar situations.
This might not be a new thing but it's something no one is talking about and I just wanted to let you all know its a thing.
It works on this instance: https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/
Or at the main Tesseract Frontent: https://tesseract.dubvee.org/
That idiot is literally spamming my DMs full of porn. How much of a loser does one have to be to send hundreds of messages like this to someone (I censored it).
I've been playing Journey recently and was inspired to make this meme.

Nope they're on lemmy.sdf.org. Lots of people are talking about this incident right now, in fact I just posted a comment mentioning as many admins as I could think of to help resolve the situation.
This person isn't doing that though, they're clearly freebooting off other instances.
Reported less than five of this dipshit's posts and he ended up banning me from all of his communities. Doesn't really surprise me. I've known that reports on Lemmy are faulty and Admin only reports, or more control of who receives them has been suggested but Lemmy's devs never listen.
My advice is to just send messages directly to your Admins as well as his admins, then he can't intercept them.
Really thought the old one was much cooler, does anyone else agree?
I mean it is what it is ultimately but I always thought the older one looked much cooler. While the new one looks very flat and plain.
What do you guys think though?

It's likely not actually a TOS violation, that person commenting is almost certainly talking out of their ass, likely to try and push their own agenda and make people comply.
PTB, comments celebrating a person who's horrible are not encouraging violence. This is clearly an attempt from the mods to push their agenda. Their replies here in this thread support this theory.
for me i consider human life sacred and despite the mistakes of this person only God may judge us.
I think this comment snippet speaks for itself honestly.
Power tripping bastard for sure, banning someone for misspelling words? If anything that makes him look like a troll, not the OP.

This behavior is very concerning, especially since it's not a one-off, their other replies on that account aren't much better.

I’ve had the ActivityPub plugin active on this blog for a while now and it’s been happily federating to mastodon for just as long. However it never worked on lemmy, and I always assumed it was just not set for it and was primarily focused on microblogging since lemmy was not even mentioned in the supported software.
This was until one of the lemmy developers contacted me, having been informed by a member of our lemmy instance that dbzer0.com was not properly configured for lemmy. I was perplexed of course because I didn’t really do any customization on the wordpress plugin whatsoever. I just used whatever defaults it came with.
Through some back and forth between the developers and me, I eventually started experimenting with the plugin settings, trying to see if any of them would make it behave in a way that lemmy could understand, until one of the options finally did the trick.
As a result, this WordPress blog is now happily existing as a lemmy community !dbzer0.com@dbzer0.com
’tis a bit of a silly community name, but it works.
Unfortunately the previous posts on this blog are not retrieved automatically, so you won’t be able to see them or their comments in the community, but one can search for a blog url in lemmy and it will discover it and open it for comments. Any comments posted there should also appear as comments under the posts here which is pretty neat!
So if you’re on lemmy or piefed, just visit its community from your own instance and subscribe to it, and new blogposts will appear directly in your lemmy feed. I love apub!
Many thanks to both pferfferle (the apub plugin developer) and the lemmy developers who looked into this!
leave a comment (from lemmy?) to let me know what you think.
Why are women's nipples considered unacceptable anyway? It seems really sexist in my opinion to say that male nipples are acceptable but female ones aren't
Add to that the fact that a lot of these types of non-standard content have low engagement and interest. Which is what ultimately makes preservation and piracy harder. If you had a lot of interest it would be difficult but not impossible to recreate some of the interactive elements around them, and extract/decrypt the video content. But without interest it's more difficult. Also ironically the lack of interest is why these things are being sunsetted in the first place. It's kind of a perfect storm in that they are hard to preserve and there is also low interest in preserving them as well.
