I’m not defending this guy. I know nothing of him, nor his story. I haven’t even clicked the link, or seen the screenshot.

All that being said, I can absolutely believe some service (in this case discord) would ban him without just cause or recoarse.

Back in 2018 I got banned by twitter BEFORE musk bought it. A pro-wrestler posted a funny video of herself. I replied “Oh man, that killed me!”

As in…that was very funny.

Twitter bots mistook that for a threat of violence. Banned.

In 2023 I was awarded on reddit as being in the top 1% of karma earners for 2022.

Then, later in 2023, they offered me the chance to buy reddit stock before it went public. Well, I was dealing with cancer at the time, and had $0 income. So I couldn’t.

Then after I declined they gave my account a strike for a comment I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Like nothing about the comment even made sense what they were flagging.

Then it did it again the next week, just as the reddit IPO went public.

Then again a day later. Which banned my 10+ year old account. Someone on lemmy speculated that it was because I didn’t buy the IPO. Someone else speculated it’s because I used a VPN.

Either way, reddit’s official stance is that I was harassing users. When I asked what part of any of my 3 messages was threatening, the reply I got didn’t even address my question. Instead it just said my comments were reviewed by a team of humans who deemed my comments to be harassment.

To this day, I still don’t believe any human actually looked at my comments.

There is a very easy way to force linux users to enforce this. However, I won’t give it away here, because as far as I can tell the current law makers are clueless.

And I don’t want to give them clues.

The thought of this bear, performing a colonoscopy with rubber gloves, a face mask, and a smile on his face is TERRIFYING!!!

Fuck_AI says “Duck AI” and “Duck autocorrect”, which as we all know is just primitive AI.

So, it’s a peertube instance for musicians. But no violence or sexually explicit content.

So if a musician made a music video with a woman dancing in her underwear, which is very common in music videos, that artist wouldn’t be allowed.

Or any music video with a mosh pitt.

I’m not even a musician, but this sounds like a very restrictive platform that I would never choose.

Oh…yeah, that makes way more sense then my first thought. I thought it was like a cult thing with aliens. And by aliens I don’t mean humans from a different country. I mean creatures from another planet.

I thought Zion was some alien, and Zionism was the cult religion around it.

Contextually though, your way makes way more sense.

Uhhhhhhh…I don’t know what Zionism is. Should I, a lemmy.world user, be looking to either start using my piefed account more, or maybe a different Lemmy instance?

Which model toughbook?

You hear that people? Go set up a camera and show us your genitals! But also, be hot. Or at least interesting. Maybe learn to juggle as you give a blowjob. That’d be fun to watch! If you can do that, the world needs to see it. So why not put it on Lemmy? For the Fediverse!!!

No no no. That’s not a waterfall…it’s actually a painting!

Careful. You might find a bunch of linux users pretending to be windows xp users if you’re just offering up free dom services.

Tell your friend to switch…to Windows 3.1!

401.You are not authorized here. You might need to login to see the resource.

Is it supposed to do that? Never seen peertube ask me for an account login before, while telling me I’m unauthorized. Unclear if glitch, or requirement for live streams on peertube.

…the link says youtube.

My biggest issue isn’t the platform. My biggest issue is that 99% of the content is Veronica explaining linux.

Can we…uh…get some OTHER content?

I’m using ZorinOS

That is absolutely what has BEEN happening!

All throughout the 2010s there was a battle for net neutrality. We lost that fight.

Then they put in the scanners for TSA that take full body nude photos whenever you fly. You can “opt out”, but they intentionally make it a hassle, and make it feel like YOU’RE the asshole for not wanting yourprivacy invaded like that.

Then all the appliances in your home started getting smart, so the internet was slowly becoming less of a luxery, and more of a requirement. Let an entire generation grow up without knowing a world without internet.

Then comes the tracking. We’re entering this phase now.

And eventually you’ll be isolated from society if you don’t consent to being tracked.

I have never had a facebook account. Yet facebook knows my name, my face, my phone number, my address. All of this was never consented by me. You know who did consent to it? My mom. She put me in her contacts list on her phone. She willingly entered all that info, uploaded a photo, and saved it to her phones contacts. Then she downloaded the facebook app. Which promptly asked her if she’d like to import her contacts list into her facebook contacts.

And it’s true that officially facebook isn’t technically part of the government. However, these mega corporations are all in bed with the government. Whatever they want, under this corrupt fascist government, it’s theirs for the taking. Nothing a little bribe can’t solve.

And now you got ICE out on the streets, downloading databases of who they want to oppress, where they live, what they look like.

It’s ALL connected. You are a frog slowly boiling. You don’t think the water is hot because you keep getting used to the tempature increases.

Day 1: Age declaration laws.

Then the public gets used to it. It becomes the norm.

Day 30: Age verification digital ID laws.

“But I don’t have anything to hide!”

Society gets used to it.

Day 60: Always on live digital monitoring stream

“Well I’M not doing anything wrong, and it’s to protect children”

Day 90: Always live camera video/audio feed inside your house.

“Well I don’t have anything to hide! And it’s to help find child predators.”

Ect ect ect ect ect.

The thing to remember here is, they wouldn’t bypass child protection COPPA laws to install age verification if it really was meant to protect children.

Also, YOU don’t get to decide if you have nothing to worry about. YOU don’t get to decide if you’ve done nothing wrong. That’s for the fascists to decide. You won’t know until it’s too late.

…you want us to get together and moan with each other? Buddy! I didn’t know this was that kind of app!

“Who is your daddy, and what does he do?”
