Ayo I'm in the screenshot letsa fucking GOOOOOOOOOO-

For context, Bungiefan_ak has no fewer than 4 alts that I've seen (all on different instances with the same username) and has spent his time on [email protected] continuously spamming heavily transphobic, homophobic, and objectifying sexist "memes". Just about every one of his alts is now banned but I'm sure more will pop up.

Now, why the fuck he cares so much about pirates at this point, I haven't a clue....

There's likely going to be more

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah we banned them on reddthat 2 days ago. I'm glad to see I'm not an outlier. Initially we should a 7 day ban should suffice. But then that user decided to message the admin directly and insult them.

Probably the fastest way to get your account banned.

Edit: The message in question. 👀 (Attempted spoiler open if you dare)

Doing the lord's work. What a shitfest of a modlog, real winner this guy is

Edit: dear God he keeps MAKING MORE. This dude seriously needs to get a life or something

I'll keep an eye out, and I sort everything by new anyway.

Spending that much money and time stanning for fucking Bungie of all decaying and bloated and corrupt treat companies is really something. pathetic

and has spent his time on [email protected] continuously spamming heavily transphobic, homophobic, and objectifying sexist "memes".

OF FUCKING COURSE. bridget-pride-stay-mad

Probably because one of his alts was on dbzer0 and was banned for transphobia

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Out of curiosity, just someone not supporting trans people or lgbtq are getting banned or they are taking asshole behaviour and spewing hate speech?

Edit: good fucking world. I am not against lgbtq. I am supporting it. I am a bi curious guy. I am all in for their civil rights. I was asking a question about why that guy was banned. For asshole behaviour or just having a different opinion. I don't believe just for telling someone doesn't care about lgbtq is not a reason for ban.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The guy posts anti-LGBT memes everywhere. He's one of these losers that likes to use "cuck" in his comments. I'd ban on that alone. Hell, I'd ban anyone for being a Trump supporter or a tankie. Then again, that's why I'm not a mod, never was, and shouldn't be.

Fuck I love the "ok" as deny reason...so simple, so beautiful.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still laughing at the vast amount of people coming from reddit and expecting only chill people to be on lemmy. Like lemmy users are somehow immune to toxicity.

It's less toxic overall but we (or mostly the moderators) will have to fight them all the time.

At least it will improve the moderation tools which is always a good thing.

Lemmy is like every social medium since the dawn of time: a cross-section of humanity... the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Corporations when some dude steals a copy of a 30 year old movie: 😡

Corporations when they steal billions from their workers salaries every year: 🤑

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Does anybody have the greentext that goes something like

Pirate game

Company loses $60 because it's theft

Company regains $60 after deleting game from hard drive

Pirate one million copies, company bankrupt from massive theft

Buy insolvent company for cheap

Delete all game copies, company profitable again

I genuinely do understand concerns about legal issues and the risk of facilitating illegal activities- but its not even hosted on their instance, why would it mater that the communities EXIST. They're literally hosted by someone else...?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But it is hosted on your home server.

When you subscribe to a community, your home server downloads the content and passes it on to you.

This is not like when The Pirate Bay was allowed to live because it only hosted torrent files and not copyrighted content, in the fediverse, you copy the content to your own server, and pass it on to the client/user, which means hosting the content.

Ha, what a loser. Artists don't deserve to be paid for their work.
