Discluded is an uncommonly used word, but it is a word. Could indicate the OP in image is from a UK-English country and an academic - they like the top shelf rare words.

Disclude is a verb that means to exclude or omit something.

Nah.. you get the occasional MAGAt that is brave enough to face their mistakes, but 99% of cases won't. Their pride and MAGA identity is more important to them than destroying the world around them.

You could just say 'I sadly live in a country with lax consumer protections' and move on. I'd empathize.

If the product is faulty and within the mandated warranty or reasonable lifespan of the product, the manufacturer or supplier legally must remedy it in most countries.

Dont be shy to RMA RAM that's faulty. Even if its old - they will replace it. Yes, RAM is far more expensive now for them to RMA - but they are making absolute bank.

Samsung as an entire business reported profits up 800% in just the last 3 months. Memory was 90% of their earnings. That's insane when you look at how many market sectors they're in.

SK Hynix is up 500% last 3 months. Their operating margin is 72% which is also insane. Its essentially an indicator of markup against costs - true profits. Apple is known as offering famously overpriced "you pay for the name but you get pretty good service" products.. And their operating margin is just 27%. Any common huge grocery store you pick as comparison will be sitting at about 3-5% operating margin.

Don't believe any of them if they say they 'can't afford' to RMA you. Memory companies are currently the most valuable businesses in the world due to the AI market stupidity, and absolutely swimming in cash.

Wherever he may be, he's not in pain anymore, and from what you've said he has left less bad than good behind him in his wake.

Thanks for sharing your story, it resonated with me. Your dad raised a good writer.

IMDb has been making shitty decisions for a long time. They have always been a business first, community last.

I doubt RT is much better but I use it mostly. It at least has been consistently the same amount of shitty UI since inception. TheMovieDb.org has a decent ratings system too and is getting more use, but again it's privately owned.

I'm not aware of a community run and operated ratings DB that's got any significant uptake.. Would be glad to hear of one if anyone knows.

Interesting numbers on the One Nation voters there, I'd have expected them to be ride or die Trumpers. Good to hear some of them have some comprehension of reality. Some.. They were still the highest percentage of responders that supported Trump & the US across all questions.

Nice to hear there are some smart people in Florida. We generally only hear the worst of them in the media, but I'm sure they're not all bad.

Good. Govt should break stupid promises. Housing is insane and the "well, let's just keep propping it up" approach has not helped one bit.

I'm sure they will be grandfathering-in any boomers though, wouldn't want to actually anger the largest voting base or their 4 houses. We'll see I guess..

Would love to see foreign ownership canned for both businesses and individuals (need citizenship to buy house and land). There so much that can be done to ease the housing crisis, and so far we'vr tried very little.

Gonna be a good month for sales at Ford or wherever idiots buy giant gender-affirming vehicles nowadays.

Hi all.

First, thanks for reading. I'm not exactly sure if this is the correct location to raise a concern about a ban/deletion, but I guess it's as good as any.

So:

  1. I dont know which mod it was. Log is redacted?
  2. post deleted & banned from the News@Lemmy.world community
  3. screenshot of modlog attached
  4. screenshot of comment attached.
  5. It was an appreciated post with 106 upvotes 26 downvotes at deletion and several positive responses yesterday. When I came back today (I'm in Australia so timezones..) the comment was deleted and I was banned - and several negative comments have appeared which I would have liked to respond to.

Original post: a news article about Proton Mail.

My post: Essentially I took the time to read the article and included the quotes of what was written by the CEO that was being discussed in the article - as many in the comments had surprised me by jumping straight to him being a literal Nazi. As not a single other commenter had included the quotes to discuss the source, I thought that would be a valuable contribution. I also gave my opinions which you can see in the comment on the modlog, the formatting is messed up so I included a screenshot of the (recreated) comment. https://lemmy.world/modlog/1347

What I didn't notice was that the article writer had omitted the first part of the Twitter post from the CEO in her quotation of him - so I quoted her, and in doing so missed the context that the CEO had actually started "Great pick by @realDonaldTrump" at the start - which does of course change the context of his Twitter post to praise. This was clarified for me in the angry responses. I would have edited my comment and owned my mistake, however stood by the rest of the comment regarding Proton's official follow-up.

So, is that deletion and ban fair?

Update 10 hours later: contacted a mod directly to see if i can find out more about the ban or perhaps get it remedied.

Update 48 hours later: contacted the entire mod team, and got back feedback from several of them - all helpful. My post has now been undeleted, and my account unbanned from the News community 👍
