I for one also looked at this several times over to see what I might be missing. Typically common wisdom is to look at people being against you and to reflect. But at least some of these things I see, if not all of them, absolutely baffle me. Dare I say you're not totally going crazy, you really did come upon people of unsound judgment, caused by (metaphorically) something in the water. I mean, a guy is upset you sued the fediverse in karmacourt? They are upset just because you are registered on a certain website even though you have no explicit history of targeting people (because I actually checked the account)? They want to eliminate you for your autism? I was waiting for someone else to reply, but seeing as they wanted me to, let it be known you are NTA. Whether or not you are crazy, the crowd definitely is.

Dare I point out that, based on the circumstances, their silence is proof that there is no case they can make aside from fallacious slight of hand. They are abusing the natural gullibilities typical of the kinds of socialists that frequent here, which would fall apart under two-sided analysis. @Blaze@feddit.org, @Blaze@lemmy.zip, and/or @Blaze@lemmy.cafe who have showed haste ought to take note.

What I see here is an example of people just still not getting it.

The coloring isn't the same in the link though.

 

Posted in video format because it's the original source/proof (and of course it is a video, it's Simon Whistler we are talking about, perhaps the current de facto posterboy of YouTube after having replaced Matthew Santoro a while ago). We in the fediverse have been mindfully observant of situations like what's happening in Germany. Does the idea someone thinks they will get to be treated as different in this state of affairs scare anyone else?

 

For example, things that are posted in one instance being delayed in the other, things that are removed not being removed, name changes not showing up, being directed to the wrong places when searching things, info not showing up letting people know they are banned, etc.

I have noticed all of these.

Happy cake day!

Nvm, it's a different federation glitch causing this, the one that leads you to the wrong places.

This is an oxymoron. Technically it's the 6th graders who read like adults, since specifying 54% of adults causes them to be the standard here.

I don't think a ban would be seen as ceasing to be a ban just because there are federation glitches right now that causes the ban to fail to be federated (not to be confused with a community you are "banned" from and only your instance can interact with you in), but whatever. You're probably right. Assuming you're even anyone who has been here before.

I cited Snopes too.

This does undermine the OP's point.

Except when more than just culture is at stake.

The ban itself is not the legal issue, it's just an extension of it.

Trust me when I say that, ever since Trump got elected, the insane has very much become possible.

 

Advocating piracy is one thing, but now banning people for believing in copyright? That's like banning people for following the law. That is banning people for following the law. What gives? And to think a while ago I declared I wouldn't have any reason to not take their bans (or the motives behind them) seriously.

Are we trying to get world governments to ban Lemmy (or, worse, the fediverse)? Love the administrative decisions or hate them, such decisions will drag down the whole fediverse. Typically sites are defederated to protect the sites defederating them from liability. Will this be an example, or does this, out of convenience, not apply? Are we forgetting a large portion of the fediverse's demographics consist of artists trying to make a damn living?

 

e.g. There's saying "I'm gay" and there's saying "I'm homosexual nebularomantic heteroalterous"
