Also the device is in a condition that makes this difficult like not turning on or the screen being broken.

Another kind of funny thing is that this is on Lemmy.ml. "A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts."
This is exactly what I experienced when I was part of their top moderator and ban discussion discord channels. They would regularly ban people for little to no reason and then laugh about it and then realize they need to come up with reasons after the fact. This is also how they deal with defederation. They had defederated an instance more than once prior to having any concrete reasons to do so. They operate on gut feeling and disregard their own rules and ToS on the regular.
Not even Reddit is so unprofessional.
Every comment is still available to read at the moment. This doesn't seem like the place for a long and elaborate recap. That's pretty much what it boils down to though. The irony is that several people harassed me and they are completely fine with that because it supports their biased opinion. If you look through their comment history they are very supportive of this particular piece of software. So anything against this is bad and must be banned. It likely wouldn't even matter what it is. They just ban first and justify it later and make up some nonsense such as "harassment".
The double irony is that they are going to end up harming lemmy.world and possibly do irreparable damage to the lemmyverse long term and then their friend will no longer be able to profit much from ads.
If only hacking was as easy as guessing the most obvious of passwords like in War Games and in Hackers. ๐
