How is ita false equivalence to say that animal rights matter? Do sentient beings deserve to be eaten by us, simply because we have consciously decided that we want to be at the top of the food chain? Should you continue to have the highest emissions from your diet, simply because you're "at the top" of some hypothetical food chain you have no part in executing yourself?

I get that some people need to eat animal products for health reasons, but if your entire reason is "I am an apex predator" (which you're not, btw), then I don't see why you shouldn't be called out for that mentality, which is promoting a view of the world that is pretty exploitative of other living beings and environmentally damaging to boot.

Yes, right after working families goes bankrupt because they can't afford to go to their job.

There is a difference between bottling up your emotions and realizing mid sentence that you are not making sense or saying anything that anyone cares about and wishing you had not started talking at all.

I was considering a fair phone, but that announcement has me waiting.

They remade Riven, and it got a sequel, Obduction.

I heard this spoken in his voice from south park, like the "it's a plane" dude.

I recommend trying a smaller instance on piefed, it is better than Lemmy in a number of ways.

I don't consciously remember making it, but I might have made it in the troubleshooting phase. In any case, still doesn't explain why I cannot login with any credentials at piefed.social. I am able to login to p.piefed.social, but those exact saved login credentials do not work on piefed.social.

When I click that I get a blank website that says not found, so I am not sure where in the user list you saw that. Unless I just can't see it because it's banned. I do not recall consciously making another username after I was banned, unless I had done that to try to see if it was an IP ban.

The username is korendian, and the handle is @robert.meyer86@piefed.social. Neither of those work to login at piefed.social, nor does my email, but I can use my email and that password to login at p.piefed.social. I think it is some discrepancy in the naming system, as viewing my profile from different sites shows different username/handles. Here is a view from several different sites showing that korendian and robert.meyer86@piefed.social are the same account, but depending on where it is viewed, korendian and robert.meyer86 both show as the username or handle (I.e., piefed.social seems to have korendian@piefed.social as the handle, but Lemmy.zip shows the handle as robert.meyer86@piefed.social. I am honestly unsure which is the right one to be honest).

Seriously though, why we are clinging to continued federation is beyond me.

 

I am experiencing a strange situation where when I try to log into piefed.social, I get a notification that says “You have been banned.”. I initially took this at face value, and assumed I had somehow broken a rule, but upon trying to see why I was banned, I could not find any evidence that I had actually been banned, besides my login credentials producing that message.

The first anomaly was the inability to find any entry in the modlogs for my username (korendian or robert.meyer86@piefed.social). So there was no record of me being banned, but perhaps it was an incomplete log, so I continued my research. I looked for an e-mail that said I was banned, and I could not find one, but I did see e-mails from just recently, after I was banned, from piefed with notifications of activity on posts/comments. I am still getting these e-mails as if my account is still active. Lastly, my profile itself is still active, and still registering upvotes on comments and posts. I can successfully send messages from other users to my previous account, and overall it seems like an active and functional profile.

So am I crazy, or is something weird going on here? Where can I learn more about my possible ban, and why are all signs pointing to it being more of a glitch than an actual thing? I was not trolling or doing anything really out of line that I could see warranting a ban, but I also don’t know if there was some rule I broke somehow with how I was posting/commenting. Any insight into this situation would be a appreciated.

Here is my old profile for reference, let me know if it looks active to you:
