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?
Every instance is free to operate how they please (sort of). That is the entire point of this project. Lemmy is not one site with one set of rules. It’s a lot of different instances, and within them communities, with their own rules. Respect them or leave, don’t complain because you want to hang around an instance but don’t want to follow their rules. You are stirring up trouble for no reason. You are being disrespectful of their community, so you are not welcome.
Beehaw rigorously protects LGBT people. They will ban you for being homophobic. Other instances won’t. Should we tell Beehaw they can’t do that? Or is their first responsibility to the community and the expectations they have set for them?
Sometimes those rules reflect a personal choice. Sometimes they reflect ethics. And sometimes they are protecting themselves from the law.
Almost every instance has defederated from Burggit because its terms of service mention they will turn a blind eye to pedo content. Pedo content, quite obviously, is highly illegal (at least in the majority of first world nations), which shouldn’t have to be mentioned to people. Nobody is applying that logic to Burggit.
If you walk into a building that says “you must wear a shirt to be in this building,” and you refuse to wear a shirt, they are going to eject you and there is nothing you can do about it.
Stop voluntarily walking into places with rules you don’t like so you can make a scene.
Blahaj?
Technically neither of them do. Blahaj has had a neopronoun problem since day 1. They’ll also take sides between transphobes instead of condemning both their transphobia. That’s sneaky shit.
Ah yes thank you. Though I think Beehaw does to a good degree as well.
Oh yes, indeed
lol pretty funny way to match my tone. I don’t know if it was intentional but I enjoyed it
Not really ha ha
