They didn't say anything about it. They probably don't know I was the one doing it (there were probably others too). There were many other clients on the wifi there. They were very pissed about the light bulbs.

We need a piracy meme community here on dbzer0. They post memes on the old dead/dying subreddit, we should have one like that here. But of course not like the Reddit one, actual good content here.

I don't know either, it sucks. Headaches and back pain suck. Cramps too.

It is terrible for your stomach if you take it on an empty stomach. It also doesn't work as well. You need to eat something when taking it. Helps it get absorbed better and decreases the risk of an ulcer.

I used to go to the backrooms often. But they kicked me out and told me not to come back because I kept stealing lightbulbs (I might have also been torrenting on their Wifi without a VPN).

Would be good if it activated the bell on copy so there is a chime whenever you copy something letting you know it worked.

You stated that MFBC is biased but when asked to explain how you not only refused to explain how, but you lashed out at the person asking. YDI, you were being an entitled piece of shit, and are continuing to be one now.

Out of curiosity why was it removed anyway?

You chose to openly and willingly spew debunked transphobic talking points as well as thinly veiled transphobia. That was your choice. I'm sure that you knew very well that these types of exclusionary arguments aren't taken well on platforms and communities which are protective of trans people or even run by trans people. YDI

Oh and about those preemptive bans, I don't blame them, some of that is an automated part of Lemmy when doing instance bans for remote users, but even the ones where people manually banned you. I don't blame them either, you've made yourself well known in holding and acting on transphobic and trans exclusionary beliefs, why would they want you posting and hanging out in their trans-friendly communities when they already know you're someone to do that kind of shit.

I have seen instances ask for very long essays before, maybe they stopped doing it or aren't around anymore but really the idea of interviewing users before signup isn't conducive to having a social platform with a thriving userbase, it's conducive to having small private clubs.

Some idiot is probably going to say something about growth not being important but that is blatantly not true, no one wants to use a platform with a small handful of people in it, and normies aren't going to want to join a platform they have to beg to join. It's better than invite only like Tildes sure, but not by much.

Email verification and captcha are good, they're annoying and could be better but they're still good. I was more thinking along the lines of not having a questionnaire with manual review, to be fair the way lemm.ee does it isn't that bad but the way other instances do it by asking new users to play 20 questions or share their life story isn't welcoming and will do more to hinder the migration from Reddit and adoption of the Fediverse.

That's not really relevant in this case though, federated profiles don't contain any of that information. They just contain the public posts and comments and anything the person might have added to their profile bio directly. They don't contain personal information of any kind.
