It's in a technology community but isn't really about technology. It doesn't contain much useful information (the post would be a better place to share what TWC is than assuming I'll be curious enough to join a Zoom session). This is straight up spam.

And "anti-law enforcement agitators" = non-whites who don't want their children kidnapped.

Total non-issue. I'd be surprised if anyone can provide a single credible instance of this biting someone in the ass.

So is this the "law and order" they keep talking about?

Yeah, the phrasing definitely makes it seem like "one" refers to "plane" not "model" here. Headline is textbook clickbait.

Agreed. We went through this in Ohio a few years back and the FUD was ridiculous. It's not granting anyone new access or the ability to carry in new places, just makes it okay to cover it up.

I knew a guy years ago that was detained and almost arrested because his shirt came a bit too untucked. Regardless of how you feel about carrying a firearm, allowing it openly but requiring a permit for concealed carry is a silly, logically inconsistent combination.

Seems that if you tank education enough, the lack of subtlety becomes more of a feature. Lots of people who only pick up on loud, repeated, simple messages are still able to vote.

she's perfectly fine with waging a culture war against people just trying to live their lives as long as she's not in the outgroup.

They all are, she's just a little extra dumb for not realizing how quickly she'd be in the outgroup.

A police officer is then heard saying, “We’re letting you go. You can’t come back. If you come back, you will be arrested.”

Carroll is heard to say, “OK.”

It feels like this would have been a good time for follow up questions to clarify what, specifically, they're threatening to arrest him for, rather than just "OK."

True, though I was on kbin initially and found the microblogging stuff easy enough to just ignore.

Not to imply it isn't an asinine reason to ban you, but that's not a complete sentence.

"The negotiations could have been a Signal chat" would be be, but what you have is a dependent clause that does not contain a verb indicating what the negotiations did.

it defeats the entire purpose of Lemmy

Piefed is a separate software, so more aligned with lemmy than a specific instance. Moot point right now, as there's only a handful of instances.

I think the real answer is less advocating against Piefed (which is getting some preference thanks to QoL additions for community management, I think), but rather advocate for some of the larger communities moving to Piefed to spin up a whole new instance.

As an aside, it seems like mbin isn't getting any love throughout this process.
