I don't understand how Patrick hiding a DDOS attack in his "goodbye" message isn't grounds for banning his alts on that server according to their policy. It literally is breaking the law in many countries

Edit: for that matter, .world should consider the same for his alts there

The whole "you violated our policy but we can't tell you how you violated it" thing has heavy big-tech gaslighting vibes.

I made a single comment asking how someone can be anti-trans and a fascist boot licker but also a star trek fan.

Guess who I asked.

That was my first instance. Turns out it's the star trek has gotten too woke kind of people running it?! Ah well, llap 🖖

So when do instances start defederating startrek.website since they clearly want to be alone?

explicitly allows discussions about hurting people

Remember kids, wishing death upon mass murderers makes you just as bad as them actually.

Edit: to the coddled, enlightened brunchers incapable of reading the room, itching to have their righteous moment under my comment: next time the IDF starts randomly airstriking the shit out of my quaint little (Christian no less) town, I personally invite you to join me for coffee and contemplating mortality on my veranda. I’ll be so impressed by your opinion on the lives of the people who are dropping WAR ORDINANCE around you and consider me a terrorist because of where I’m from (and you one for sitting for coffee with me). It’ll be so inspiring. You’ll love it, I make decent coffee. Wouldn’t that be fun.

Glad I already deleted my account there. And blocked the instance.

Shame, but I'd rather not be around members of a fandom that actively support shitty and shady practices like that, and I sure as FUCK don't want an admin that's complicit

I'm not surprised. They were shit mods back on reddit and continue their shitty ways here in the fedi

I mean at least it is an instance doing the defederation and announcing it publicly (so people who don't like this can leave). This also makes a great example for people who don't understand the difference between banning lists in apps vs instances.

I guessed I'd be seeing something here with the bans and removals that started cropping up in that thread...

100% PTB. Just removing anyone who is pointing out that its related to tesseract, a total lie, etc.

Is this the same Star Trek instance that had some huge drama with The Picard Manuever (? Maybe it was someone else?) that led to a user exodus? Or a different one?

Love it 🙄 Just deleted my account there, fuck those assholes.

What an asshole

Punishing the victims? really?

I'm willing to bet he's an admin or mod on there 🤣

When I read the summary of the rant he made about "leaving" first thing I thought was "sure buddy". There's no way someone like that doesn't have at least one alt, if only for testing development of their program.

Who knows how bad the infestation is of alts.

You'd think they'd keep a lower profile after breaking a federal law in the country they're in.
