The AskLemmy post and many of the replies were phrased more like it was just bitching/moaning that all of Lemmy isn't some freeze-peach free-for-all rather than any kind of conversation starter.

OP, YDI.

I'm not gonna screencap the entire thread, but this gives you a picture since OP doesn't feel like sharing and wants to be all "trust me, bro, I was CeNSORed!"

OP is also alt of @spiderwort@lemm.ee who was instance-banned for bigotry (I don't have the context for that one, that's just what the admin wrote in the modlog), and brought some great hits to c/ShowerThoughts such as "99% of the people here are dumb as a box of rocks"

Bonus from their older, now-banned alt:

Probably. They use "DEI" to mean anything they don't like.

I really wish you could block comms when you're banned from them.

I think that's just a Lemmy-UI bug. Try a different frontend and block from there. The blocks are API based, so when you switch back to your main/preferred UI, the block should be there.

As an old, grizzled sysadmin who still deals with physical infrastructure and legacy systems, I can totally relate to this. I also like to think that all of O'Brien's hacks that save the day in DS9 were made possible by Ro Laren showing him the way.

I know I've posted this song in this community before (almost a year ago), but this song has been living rent-free in my head all week.

Aged like milk, but still a banger.

Janeway watches her replicator create a column of coffee which spills all over the platform. Moments later, the mug materializes.

Just a reminder that Mitch McConnell could have prevented this not once but twice.

Good luck (seriously) trying to keep the monster you created and continuously enabled under control. I also hate that I'm implicitly rooting for McConnell here.

After a campaign like this, how could you ever have a normal relationship with your pro-Trump neighbor/father-in-law/Uncle/Barber or what ever again?

You're assuming those relationships survived the 2020 election. For many, myself included, they didn't.

I was willing to overlook 2016, but after 4 years of horror culminating in a (failed) coup, and those people still supporting him, I just cut them out of my life.

I mean, they could solve it by not making the mandatory successor an ad-laden, AI-infested, personal data harvesting, privacy-nightmare shit show. That would be a start. And also relax whatever the artificial requirement is that makes a lot of Win10 machines incompatible with 11.

Josh D’Amaro said in a statement to The Verge. “As such, we’ve decided to waive our right to arbitration and have the matter proceed in court.”

Sounds to me like they just want to keep that umbrella waiver in the Disney+ agreement rather than have that, rightly, struck down in court. They are very much still working under the assumption that a subscriber clicking "I Agree" to watch The Mandalorian waives any right to trial against any business unit of Disney Corp for any reason.

Absolutely despicable.

So it sounds like they did have plans, or at least ideas, for it but are now backtracking after the 100% deserved backlash.

Remember folks: Any smart device you have that requires an internet connection or app is e-waste waiting to happen at the company's whim.

I mean, credit where it's due. If not for him, I'd probably be browsing Reddit right now instead of Lemmy. So, there's that.

Lemmy world:

Users, not even on Lemmy World or directly affected by this:

Pissed Pikachu with torch and pitchfork

I'm not in the loop or even involved with LW's admin affairs, but I would imagine there was a letter or email to them or their service provider that prompted that and likely named those communities specifically. Going out on a limb, I would guess the community removal was a timely response to something like that, and based on LW's history, an announcement will probably be coming soon-ish.

Before you grab your torches and pitchforks, remember: Pretty much every Lemmy instance is run by volunteers that don't have legal departments.
