This whole “FOSS names are bad” sounds like a Mccarthyism sysop by this point. Like, really, who is pushing that crap?

XMPP aka Jabber.

So it’s funny that it’s even stricter “moderation” AND NOW ITS HARDCODED so it affects every instance.

Lol, people so afraid of Lemmy devs bowing to the CCP that they migrate to the fediverse option that actually implements CCP societal control features. McCarthysim really did a number on the Amerikkkan brain, dunno if it is impacting people from elsewhere that much. This surely was not in my 2026 Bingo card!

No, not because a user was annoying everyone else. Because the developer seemed to have a personal beef against people who commit the crime of [*checks notes*] not behaving neurotypically on the internet, and went on to impose a collonialistic, imperialistic punishment (censoring of national language) on them. See: Spain vs. Cataluña.

I guess that’s just something we have to grow to expect from Rimu, after the whole þ fiasco? I can think of lots of valid image uses that have the world “anonymous”, such as semi-redacted whistleblowing posts.
