Hello world! A long time ago I used to play a game called EVE Online. There are silly little creatures called Fedo there. So when joining the Fediverse, I made a bit of a pun.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

Why am I being suspended?

I created an account on mastodon.social a few days ago. A day after creation, my account was suspended. My appeal was denied and no reason was given. So I assumed mastodon.social was not accepting new accounts, so I moved over to mastodon.online and created an account there. Today that account was suspended as well, again...

These guys are even more paranoid than many smaller instances about user names that appear to be randomly generated. Your own user name, as others in this thread suggested, would easily trigger their auto-ban rules. And a human moderator would take one look at the name and think the same thing.

God damnit, it took me until now to actually read their username. It's the youtube URL for the rickroll video (ending in XcQ). I think you're right though - it was obviously autogenerated originally and only took on its current meaning via Youtube's use of the string.

The problem is scaling. If it takes say, 30 seconds per name, but the number of n is very large, then if you ban say, 1000 dudes a day then the 30,000 seconds becomes a requirement of 8 hours of mod explanations (collectively) per day. It's a scaling issue, in short.

Well, Germany is officially a Federal Republic, it does make some sense they would join a federated universe :)

To anyone that hasn't seen the mythbusting thread it was pretty damn shocking: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yxqq9S14NxbCQBDfO0lq3xYL8IWrGLSeE47u7X1sUVo/pub

Yeah, video ads are the popup ads of our days. Just as intrusive. Money corrupts :(

It makes sense to fix it, I suppose. It wouldn't really make sense to just downvote it every time it comes up, that wouldn't be fair.

It's kind of funny to me, I was part of the French meme-magazine on the old "orange reading site" and german meirl would get referenced occasionally. Now I get to see that magazine (ich_iel) most of the time I log in, even if I don't fully understand it, and the ones I understand are pretty good.

PS: this really throws a spotlight on how anglocentric /r/all was

There's definitely something to be said for classic simplicity!

Yeah, Apple spent a lot of investment getting the thing going, but it is certainly still a modern powerhouse. Even if worldwide iOS has a smaller marketshare than Android, Apple is huge in Japan, the US and UK.

If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. [...] for it may easily turn out that [the intolerant] are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; [the intolerant] may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive [...] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to [other crimes] as criminal.

I agree, I think it's good to have a discussion, and polite disagreement is quite acceptable. But like you said, encouraging violence and hatred is not acceptable to me.
