is the fed thing a meme or do they do any good work?

      EDIT: I think I accidentally cropped it but there’s one more that I think precipitated it:

      IIRC, he was asking about getting personal information from people in the thread from this one.

        To clarify, Pluto’s ban was specifically over attempt(s) at gaining and releasing other users’ personal information on the site. Pluto made several comments doxxing other site users which were purged and don’t show up on the modlog.

        Users can post all they want about goofy revisionist orgs. Go ahead and load the whole fediverse up with random spam posted to largely irrelevant communities. Just don’t try and figure out where people on the site live so you can tag them in threads about the place they live. That’s a great way to simultaneously not beat the Fed allegations and catch a permanent ban.

          Sorry if it was unclear, but I was trying to express that with the edit, not criticizing this ban at all.

          It was an extremely sus thread.

          EDIT: like I didn’t know all of those details, but the thread he posted right before all of the comm bans was super weird and concerning
