Well just look at what I said there. I'm no expert on German law, but I explain right then and there why I was saying the AfD wouldn't be Nazis, at least to the Germans who still have cultural PTSD over it.

Imagine if we had Germans in our midst. There'd be like a 30% chance right now they'd be a part of the AfD. What are we going to do, ban 30% of Germans from interacting with us?

Could we maybe apply some kind of due process to this situation before proceeding with anymore conclusions? This whole thing, which has chased me around everywhere even though I go into length (including in previous interactions in this chain about the many proofs that it should be all a bunch of dead horse issues, has already caused stir among the mods.

I currently have an instance controller who finally expressed enough interest to say "hey, can we talk this out somewhere", which scarcely anyone up to this point has been willing to do at this point, instead seeing one side of the story and being incited into a frenzy over just that. If anything illustrates why I respect authorities and their decisions in matters like this (in contrast to the populace), this is why (and I suspect they are how I got demoted a second time, until this all gets settled I am guessing).

Davel specifically says the words "they interact with each other" and leads up to "and they all create the same kinds of “ask me”/“casual conversation” posts", which sounds a lot like what ShiverMeTimbers was saying.

If he is truly the person in charge of his domain, I'd willing to bet, actually bet, that if he (and a bunch of other people, if they wanted to make sure he was being truthful) were to release IP's, he wouldn't be able to say anymore that we are the same individual.

He is also lying when he accuses me of impersonating when I can dig into the past and prove I would be the one being impersonated.

As for who appointed me back, Candyman337, who is one of the leading rule enforcers, added me back. They thought you were giving a bombshell until I explained my side of the story, you know, the thing nobody asked me for. Do they think you are being honest now? My faithful side says no.

I have never, ever used any secondary name to reappoint me.

What a liar you are (makes me wonder if those who "upvote" what you say are "alts").

Admins ask for multiple names to work in coordination in rule enforcing depending on the instance. I make it no secret who my secondary names are. It also should be made clear "ShiverMeTimbers" is not one of them. I'd be willing to bet life and death on that. Supposing you or someone else extracted data/info from me, you would find what I'm saying to be true.

Again, not me. The only other name I have is KaneLivesInDeath. I’d be willing to bet life and death on that and am surprised a self-proclaimed “admin”, like the one we call Davel, would take such a passive approach when you’d expect such a person to have access to all the IP codes.

The only other name I have is KaneLivesInDeath. Nobody else here is me in any way. I'd be willing to bet on that and am surprised a self-proclaimed "admin", like the one we call Davel, would take such a passive approach when you'd expect such a person to have access to all the IP codes.

The reasons for adding me back were discussed within Matrix. I also don't make the connection between me and the KaneLivesInDeath name a secret. Admins ask for multiple names to work in coordination in rule enforcing depending on the instance. I thought all rule enforcers knew.

A few things are to be considered (things which prove the power of seeing both sides through).

  • When it shows a message about me supposedly abusing power, it shows a message specifically about me enacting disciplinary measures against people trying to encourage Luigi Mangione copycats. I would have thought I was serving the TOS by doing that, and still would think I am, and some instances have showed they hold the same thoughts and that I'm not just acting on my own subjective sentiments. It's based on the whole "what's it to you" response where their thing later comes into play where they say I was supposedly downplaying Musk's salute. Though I do think intent matters, my thinking is if they're both fair, then they're both fair, and if they're both "dogwhistling", they're both "dogwhistling". Of note, I don't encourage deaths in any form, I'm just getting mixed messages on what that necessitates.
  • The "slur + bigotry" part happened two (if not three) years ago. As I explained to the mods of Ask Lemmy, I was fighting with a friend who has DID and BPD because I got fed up with their trust issues and snapped and it manifested like that. Yes, it was transphobic to say that, including using a slur whose origins I didn't know (it was from One Piece so I thought it was just slang, as why would a kids' anime have some random slur as a setting name). Feeling guilty immediately afterwards, some friends confirmed to me an apology was the best way to express the sorrow, and I did apologize (the wording about "being told" to refers to not knowing how to manifest it, it doesn't refer to the apology's supposed lack of sincerity). In any case, he forgave me, and we have been friends for two years since. Neither of us are the people we were two years ago, and we will both maintain it's not up to other people to speak for whether the issue has been resolved. He recently came to me for guidance, though, when he was down on himself while someone who is actually associated with the people slandering me (including the person we are responding to) who is still transphobic started going at him (they were in a relationship, with the non-trans boyfriend being unwilling to accept the person who broke up with him is trans). This, sadly fittingly, came after he (the trans friend) defended me while asking why they aren't focusing on other people in the situation (only to be censored if you look at the original source), showing they don't actually care about transgender justice, only about whether I look bad in the process or not (because I am the accusers' grudge).
  • As for the other matter, I think your first sign there's more to it than meets the eye is the fact the date on one of them is way after the actual date I got removed from their community, with proof of that date both in other interaction histories as well as the community itself. The context for the other two things can be found in the message chains themselves that are kind of linked to. Both were semantic miscommunications (one around whether "date" was always "romantic", the other in whatever shipping entailed). The people in charge there knew that and so did nothing. I was removed from that community two years later for being too vocal about being pro-abortion when the art community started filling up with Roe VS Wade content.

If they're fine with it, so am I. I am in no place to get between people.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

"Rude" can be so many things that it depends. In your situation, I would've removed him. He violated policy. When I work somewhere, it's my job to protect what I must. Anything else I just treat as expression.

They call it a common gesture of courtesy to inform people that your home would offer itself to those fleeing some kind of devastation (oppressive regimes, abuse, earthquakes, etc.). However, most people don't end up in that kind of humanitarian role. What's the closest you have come?

 

The Roman dodecahedron is an item that has turned up in a lot of sites where people do archaeology. While most items, given time, have their purpose easily or at least approximately deduced by researchers, the Roman dodecahedron's purpose is largely baffling to even the most studied of archaeologists, who have no idea on where to start with it. This in turn would probably baffle the Romans, who would have seen it as a common household item, no different from a spoon or a comb.

Suppose a few thousand years from now, archaeologists were excavating our remains and had varying degrees of success deducing what different things were for. If you had to guess what common household item of ours would stump them the most, what item would you guess it would be?

That statement isn't some random thing to grab one's attention, it's something I've seen come to light lately. Those who have been keeping tabs on me will know who I am talking about. Everyone is in a positive frenzy over it. Guess who even helped buy the uni supplies and garb (cuz things like uniforms aren't just for high school) for them?

What's a time when you learned that someone you know is more connected to another person you know (perhaps you yourself) than you would've originally thought?

 

I hear a lot of people say "I don't use toilet paper, I use [insert alternative here]" but never hear about what is used for the other things.

 

Referring to any moment in life where someone accidentally found themselves in an issue due to their identity mistakenly being marked as "obvious".

 

Love her or hate her (and my opinions are mixed), I must confess, JK Rowling was a huge influence on why I didn't become a regular author. No shade on people who get what they paid for, but the young reader crowd is just so gimmicky, and not in a good way, and you see that with a lot of works like Percy Jackson and Twilight (but also predominantly with Rowling's work). How do you compete in such a no-rules game?

So then let's talk about one of the cores of the issue. People often have an epiphany when divulging into Harry Potter, and they think "huh, what's the deal with this if that thing is how it is". While noting that conflicts in literary analysis don't always reflect something that doesn't add up and that it could be a hiccup in details/semantics, the questions themselves don't go away. And there's nothing that matches the amount of those having to do with Harry Potter. What example of which strikes you as the most overlooked?

If Rowling herself ever notices that I'm bringing this up, let it be known I do think of her work as a reskinned Brothers Grimm in the universe of The Worst Witch and that I'm collaborating with another author (Samantha Rinne) whose work I would argue deserves Rowling's prestige if Rowling's work deserves it. Thanks (and here is where I run for the hills).
