Thanks, I didn’t notice that before. Looking at the modlog, I’m guessing may have actually been for the use of a t*rd suffix … I think? The log doesn’t really get specific enough.

Yet, in the thread I presumed it was for, another user not only used a full-on r-word but also directed it at another user. They are still active and posting.

Hmm…

Where do you find this info?

Jesus christ. This is what’s wrong with internet discussions. There is no room for nuance and everyone just assumes the worst of everyone.

I wasn’t blaming anyone for anything. All I was saying is … murder is, y’know, bad and you should maybe try not murdering. I can’t believe this is controversial or ban-worthy.

Edit: downvoted for saying murder is bad. Cool beans.

Shadowbanned may have been the wrong term. I think it’s actually just an account lockout.

By all objective measures, so did the person replying to me. They’re still galavanting around lemmy advocating for murder.

I’m feeling rather smug and justified telling my clients to keep files on a local server that they control rather than “the cloud” someone else’s computer.

Total speculation, but I can’t help but think this has got to be a factor of long COVID.

I said this years ago on reddit: long COVID will the next major health crisis after the initial phase of the pandemic is addressed with vaccines. And here we are.
