He paid for a server upgrade, he’s gonna get his money’s worth.

No, a third voted for Trump. Another third sat at home and didn’t express their one voice to make a change at all.

I’m guessing you have no idea that the mods of world and shitjustwork talked with the mods at behaw, and they all agreed it was the right thing to do at the time. You obviously don’t know the situation, or understand that the fediverse is not supposed to work like a centralized platform.

If you don’t want to color with your opinion, use a different word than shadowban. They didn’t do this with malice as the connotations of that word would imply.

While I think it would be more than a few minutes, this would still limit people’s time on Twitter. I can’t imagine advertisers are super happy about that idea.

Sometimes it’s a circle, sometimes it’s a Mickey Mouse hat on Ron DeSantis’ head.

So it’s only a concern for Americans then?

This is true, nothing is exactly equivalent, bad choice of words. It’s not remotely equivalent either though. An equivalent scenario would be if immigrants showed up to the border, and were turned away, but also had a 1000 other places the could go within a few feet. And it applies to everyone making demands of server owners. Make an appeal for your wants. If they ignore it, find a server that fits better.

Yes, because selling your home and moving your family and all your belongings several hundred miles is exactly equivalent to making a second lemmy account. Expecting sever owners who invest time and money into this to cater to your wants when making a second account is too hard is fair and doesn’t come off as whiney behavior at all either.

I suspect they could’ve overcharged still, but just shut their mouths and continued as normal. Each new tactic is awful and self harming.

It’s still there. The track network at least. Hasn’t been updated either.

Valid point.

My biggest concern with this, is that it may keep many people from joining us / leaving reddit, as they also will have a knee jerk reaction, but won’t bother to look any further into it.

I’ve seen a couple posts myself with multiple images imbedded in the post. No idea how they did it.
