Essentially, if you were a user on his instance he assumed you were there because you wanted his curated version of the fediverse. So his instance ban list got treated like his own personal block list.

Guy instance banned a bunch of people simply for speaking up in favor of Luigi, before it got clear how many supporters there were. Admin-wise, some questionable decisions. Still he did a lot of good for Lemmy. Shame to lose him.

Only because it’s inconsequential, not because they’re hidden or anything

Bashir won’t believe #7!

Reminds me of the hats in the Dune miniseries.

Ah, not lemmy, you’re talking about the rest of the fediverse. Gotcha

Haven’t seen anything like that myself, which instance admin are you referring to?

Just take a second to imagine the nightmarish logistics this would entail, and you immediately know this is BS

Do most people actually find their own farts disgusting?

There’s been like a dozen ppl pointing out the basic flaw in your logic (train is running anyway, just makes a 1 minute stop), but you ignored them all to focus on the one dumb comment about lithium sourcing.

I’m sure! Don’t worry, I was just making a joke about how bad the trains are for me locally. It’s not uncommon to see trains skipping the entire CITY because they’re behind schedule.

They’re not running an entire train line for her. They’re making an extra stop on an existing train line.

Given the chaos that occasionally happens to my local public transport, I could probably say this statement unironically.

The fall in human population is happening at way too slow a pace to help the environmental crisis. At the same time, it’s happening at way too fast a pace that it’s going to trigger multiple social crisis’ around the end of the century.

Hmm I definitely need to do a reread. Do you have the text of that bit handy?

Don’t recall it being taboo, just that people eventually get bored and end it out of ennui, in universe. Granted it’s been ages since my last readthrough.

Oh absolutely, The Culture would be my answer too.

There is a correct answer and it is Star Trek.

Not really, it just means the person who wrote this doesn’t read enough Sci Fi
