He stole a white bat to halt a tribal marriage and then force a war between the tribes. Thus allowing an English company he owns to exploit the conflict to steal the guano trade for profit.

How, exactly, should you have seen this coming? Elaborate on your thoughts.

You think calling someone autistic is an insult?

No I can’t guarantee it, and neither does Microsoft, Windows, nor any of the software you have ever used, for work or not. Read the TOS. You are given nothing, and all software, no matter how much you pay is “provided as is”. Which means they deny responsibility for bugs or misbehavior of their code. MS corporate contracts don’t sell guarantees, they sell support when something eventually goes wrong. They never promise the software will always 100% work because it opens them to legal liability. OneDrive, to keep the discussion on topic, doesn’t guarantee availability of your files, or their integrity, and even makes you agree to not sue them even if you lose all your data.

Installing a new OS is not a hassle at all on this day and age. If you can click buttons with a mouse and read at least at a 6th grade level to follow instructions, you can install an OS.

That’s what admins are for, meta moderation. I’m not proposing said solution or even suggesting it is desirable. Harassment exist in all human spaces and it is up to those in positions of authority and the collective consensus to stop it. But most internet spaces are dictatorial and authoritarian by default. There are plenty of examples on the fediverse alone. If any admin chooses to promote or protect the harassment then you’re out of luck. If someone wants to annoy the Admins, then they have no moral obligation to protect your community. They are the one’s hosting the service and paying for the servers and bandwidth. No mod has any sort of ownership over anything in here.

EDIT: Maybe it is not right, but that’s how it is right now. If a bad politician gets voted out of office, we don’t call it harassment, even if they founded the town, we call it democracy. But Lemmy is not that, so the idea is moot. Admins are all powerful dictators of their instances.

Only the mod posts there anyway. Locking the community is a mod power.

If it doesn’t grow and it’s only you and get kicked out of the server for being a nuisance, nothing is lost. There was no community there to begin with. Actually, there was a greater super set community that rejected the mod. And, if there’s a small community and they kick you out, even if you founded and started the community, then that’s what the community wants.
