I.m.o., instances should never be allowed to ban anyone sitewide, even temporarily(, except for spamming/bot accounts), or only a minority of them, explicitly stating that they want to represent a group of users, and reserving themselves the right to say that a given user makes them a bad publicity.

And how would you ensure this type of policy is enforced, exactly? Lemmy is open-source software that can be modified by instance owners. Lemmy isn’t even the only Reddit-like software in the Fediverse.

Communities should also never be allowed to permaban, and a one-year ban should be the maximum, but only after, e.g., at least 3 one-month bans, themselves preceded with a demand to simply edit the comment/post.

See above.

Yeah, people tend to consider CSAM “problematic” and look down on the idea that it should be permitted.

And can you show me where someone accused you of being a pedophile?

Is this “Oh, we can’t have a CSAM themed instance :(((((” how bad how ebil the authorities much sad

There’s only the themes accepted by the authorities, due to broken federation.

What themes are “rejected” by the “authorities” that they cannot choose for their instance?

I don’t report much, but that guy was (is) something else dude. I’m not a free speech absolutist.

Here is where you denied that instances can have their own themes.

He kept hurling abuse.

Not the first time I’ve dealt with someone like you, obviously.

And what did other people “like me” that you’ve dealt with do to harass you, exactly?

You seem to be blaming me for “wasting your time” when it’s your unwillingness to stop replying to me.

And the type of targeting that makes it so I can’t safely have a home server is more like how I keep facing serious accusations of crimes I haven’t committed, false arrests, accusations of pedophilia, etc.

You have not been accused of being a pedophile. You have been “accused” of saying that CSAM should be allowed to be hosted online (because you said it).

Provide evidence that ICANN and/or the President meddle and intervene in the management and running of the Fediverse.

Incorrect. I keep saying that when you waste time typing random shit. You’ve wasted like 12 hours today.

Imagine having no self-control that I’m to blame for your inability to stop replying.

POTUS, ICANN, etc.

They have zero involvement in the Fediverse.

Right. I’m also prepared for the possibility you will start harassing me in the very near future. Why do you need me to explain your own behavior to you?

How would I do that? Why would you assume I would do that? All I’ve done is reply to you in a thread.

Incorrect. Repeating yourself doesn’t make it true. Try deleting or editing comments, if that will be enough to hide them from mods/admins. Or just keep lying if this place is actually corrupt enough for that to yield worthwhile results on its own.

It wouldn’t be enough to hide them because instance admins can see deleted posts. But in any case, I haven’t insulted you. You have insulted me repeatedly.

Incorrect.

So how are you “targeted” in this thread, and how are you “targeted” in such a way that it makes it so you can’t safely have a home server instance?

Again, this is a link, not a screenshot. You keep wasting time posting links I keep telling you I’m not clicking.

So what? Is the link a lie? The link is to your post. https://i.imgur.com/USWVK8b.png

These are quotes prefaced with “me:” and “you:” suggesting you’re just recapping part of the conversation again. Why? Would this be worth my time to read?

It’s the relevant component where you larped as a martyr.

These are sentences in quotation marks. Not reading them. Is there a reason they’re here?

Sorry, so you’re too lazy to click a link. You need an image every time?

Here is where you denied that instances can have their own themes.

The second sentence is your sentence. It’s in the link. I actually provide the evidence for things you claim you didn’t say.

For a second time I tell you, I’m not really into riddles.

If you refuse to back your claims up, why would you expect others to agree with them?

Nope. Are you still pretending my straightforwardness makes it hard to believe I can understand euphemisms? (Rhetorical question, obviously you are)

I neither view you as straight-forward, nor able to understand euphemisms.

You mentioned Hamas.ps first. The timeline shows this. Here is the link.

Is there a point here?

Yes, you claimed I bought up Hamas.ps first. I did not. You did. The evidence backs that up.

Was it in quote marks at the time? Is there some reason I wouldn’t realize that? I don’t really remember

No, it was not in quote marks.

Don’t get what you’re saying

Typical.

Baselessly, as if I would be gullible enough to take your word for it.

How would it get you banned? You might get banned for actually inciting violence, but not explaining your position on the legality of it.

If you have a design that enables the incitement of violence against war criminals and no one else, maybe someone is all ears. I don’t really care, I’m still kinda tired of you wasting my time.

You don’t have to reply to me, you know. I’m not forcing you to do so. I’m not making you “waste your time” by replying. You choose to do so.

I didn’t ask if I did.

Did I say you did?

I didn’t ask if you replied.

Did I say you did?

I didn’t ask what you meant, the “what the fuck” was an expression of how bewildered I was at your mental illness.

Did I say you did?

Again, I didn’t ask.

Did I say you did?

Should I only respond to direct questions, rather than comments and claims you make?
