So... why not just tell people? Fascists love to have their own social media instances.

Thank you.

Thank you. This is such strange behavior. So, he wanted to trick people into using a censored version of Lemmy? To what end?

If he's trying to curate his own community, why not tell people what he's doing?

It does help, actually. Thank you for sharing this context as well as disclosing which specific instances were blocked. This is very very odd behavior for a developer to engage in for no money.

I see, so he blocked specific keywords, not just specific users?

Thank you for taking the time to provide me this context.

In the online art community, "tracing" means you're a bad artist and cheating, people get doxed and bullied offline for tracing.

For real artists, using tools to trace real-life objects and photographs is normal, and has been since medieval times. Not the photograph part of course, but real life objects can be traced or copied using various methods, and it's perfectly acceptable to do so.

No, the first thing you said was the real answer.

Nobody providing any context at all, going on long context-free rants with layers upon layers of "you had to be there" comments. The more I read of this, the angrier I become, not at the drama, but at the unwillingness to explain what happened or provide context. I'm supposed to just know. This is an awful experience.

a small crumb of context would be amazing

....no, I think you're supposed to be the dad and she's the mom, as in, you're going to become a father to her children by impregnating her. My mind didn't really go to pedophilia immediately, but idk maybe I'm wrong

This rant tells me absolutely nothing about what happened except that this man is angry about something. Since you're calling him a fascist, you seem to know what is going on, or have some type of context. What happened?
