  • Yes, my interpretation of what they said was that it wasn't a meta posts, but I agree, it was likely on a different instance. However, I also asked for clarityabout what was said and the user hasn't clarified. I couldn't find the comments they were talking about in their history of their first weeks. I did see other bans, from beehaw, but generally a pretty normal post history.

    So, the mystery remains.

  • I have twice showed you that my definition is meaningless, as is a dictionary definition. There is none so blind as cannot see.

    If you think the safety rating of a niche car qualifies as technology news, you're in for an exciting time looking at history books.

  • As I mentioned, technology can mean any development. So I didn't define it, so much as point out that a strict reading of the word is different to what people expect posts about.

    Forks and knives are also a technology, but are not relevant here. If you don't get the nuance, or disagree, that's fine.

    If you and others think it's relevant, enjoy, but I'm pointing out that for others, myself included, this is spam and more appropriately posted to other communities including but not limited to Elevtic vehicles communities (about 20 exist) Enoughmuskspam Cars communities (about 20 communities)

  • Certainly not automobile safety. This has nothing to do with technology, as in development, but is tangentially relevant being that Tesla positions itself as a technology company.

    I don't see any posts here about all the other ev car companies. Technology can be technically be any progress or development, but I also don't expect to see tech posts about gradual iterations or improvements in the touchscreen operation of a lawnmower.

    People come here to find out about new tech and the development of it. This is musk spam.

  • I interpreted differently. I assumed the thread was on blahaj but was not a meta thread about blahaj. However, you're probably right.

    If they were on another instance and just had a disagreement with a blahaj user about the term, then I'd say that's over moderation to block them unless they were being abusive, or a dick about it.

    I could also see how a mod could block him as a user and accidentally block him from the instance if it was a year ago as mod tools weren't great. Although I don't use them.

    However, as you say, depending on what the comments were, it could be the blahaj user was the one being the dick here.

  • It may not be a gendered term for you, but it is for some. Standing your ground means being asked to stop by people who found it offensive, likely by feeling misgendered. I'm not surprised you were banned when you go to what's meant to be a safe space and misgender people despite being asked to stop.

    That's kind of the point of federation, though. They can have their space with their rules of moderation and language. Someone else can have a more open experience. Those that want a more complete experience but push their values on other instances will be banned from those instances. Blahaj has great content, but it's often niche, and can be a little too moderated sometimes, but better to err on side of caution when many of the community have less ptions for where they jump to.
