We're talking about "I am a prominent member of an organization designated by the US as a terrorist organization."

Either way I misunderstood OP's question and my post wasn't on-topic.

This is a very good point. I misunderstood the post.

Yes. If you're a rando, sorry you're just not that interesting.

If you're someone the US considers an actual threat, then yeah don't buy anything from the US (use a 3rd party). But if you're that big of a threat you already know that.

What is expected is that you are kind to your date and spend your time getting to know each other.

It would depend on the context. If I saw it on PornHub, I'd assume something related to porn. If I saw it in a flyer from the local Parks & Rec department, I'd think it was a standard children's playground, but for adults.

Simply by itself, I'd default to the park thing.

I don't believe so, but don't quote me on that.

Good show but I have seen the same show 4 or 5 times.

Elvis Costello but I've only seen him twice. I like CAKE a lot too and have seen them 4 or 5 times.

Same.

!technology@lemmy.world has always been a place where you can say whatever the mods will let you say. Make your own instance with blackjack and hookers if you want.

Based on the modlog it appears that you were banned for trolling. If you feel it was in error, contact the mod. Otherwise, find a different community.

I told them their “MEN DON’T POST HERE” posts on the frontpage are hostile, which is the reaction they got from a half dozen folks who were talking about the subject.

So what if it's hostile to you? It's their community. I see that community from time to time. Guess what. I don't post there. I accept that it's their space and their rules.

I talked about my experience as a gay man, wanting more community here on Lemmy, but that I wouldn’t start communities or threads saying “NO STRAIGHT PEOPLE POST HERE” to do it.

You don't have to, but other people can if they want. If someone else did, I, as a straight person, wouldn't post there. Because they asked me not to.

I get that I broke their rule, and I can be banned there for that - but they didn’t ban me for being a man, they banned me for hurting their feelings. And now I can’t use LGBTQ and Trans communities as a result. OK, fuck turtlesareneat, he shouldn’t be allowed in queer communities cause he hurt a mod’s feelings.

No, you didn't get banned because you hurt their feelings. You got banned because you can't follow rules. Other instances banned you because you've been shown that you can't follow other instances' rules.

This reads very heavily of "but I had to reply because they needed to hear my carefully-considered opinion." NO. THEY. DON'T. They didn't want to talk to you and you decided to barge in and tell them what you had to say because by god you needed to be heard.

That's not what your question says though. Your question asks for reasons why you should support the development of Lemmy because you don't like the moderation decisions that the developers make on their instance. That's a different question than "how can I support the software without supporting the people making it." The answer to that is you can't.

As others have said, you can fund your instance if you so choose. You can also try to fund a fork/replacement.

There's so much closed-source business software that only runs on x64 that x64 will be here for a very long time.

I watched Pig just recently almost as a joke. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Law is unclear what happens to Trump and GOP certainly won’t impeach

The law is extremely clear on what happens. Nothing. The only way the President can be removed from office is through the impeachment process. He could be conceivably charged after he is removed from office, but he would remain the President until his term ends.

It's another Electron app now. At least "New Outlook" is.

I knew "chav" was British slang, but I found it hilarious that the OP provided synonyms that didn't help in any sense.

Acer Aspire.

100 MHz Pentium, 4 MB RAM, 14.4 modem. 4x CD-ROM.

I would not come here either.
