What a completely reasonable and absolutely not wasteful use of police time and resources! “Hello, 911? My house is being robbed!” “Sorry, no officers are available because they’re at the Tesla dealership”

Why wreck an abandoned building or house? That greatly decreases the chance that the building can be rehabilitated for use again and likely will result in its demolition and replacement. Those buildings could have been restored for use by the community but it’s made a lot harder if everything is damaged and covered in graffiti.

Countless beautiful historical buildings have been lost forever because vandals destroyed them beyond repair before they could be saved. Even worse when it’s someone’s house left abandoned after they pass away (usually old people), and people come and destroy what might be the last few things to remember that person by. Vandalism of abandoned buildings just saddens me.

The machine must be prevented from working at all. Good work.

Here’s hoping!

When nobody stands up to stop the fascists, yes.

Bicycles are banned. Cars are no longer allowed to have transmissions either.

The problem is, nobody else can see the tags you apply to a user. So to everyone else, it just looks like you’re calling someone a Zionist out of the blue if they’re not already familiar with that user’s history.

Welcome aboard!

You were banned by Ada because you keep dying on the hill of whether Drag’s pronouns should be respected or not based on dragons being fictional creatures that don’t exist in real life. This is the thread that got you banned: https://lemmy.world/comment/15410416

Drag was very obviously a troll and deserved to be called out for constant shit-stirring, but it’s not up to you or anyone else to decide whether their pronouns should be respected or not regardless if it’s a troll. Especially in an instance designed to provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ folk. Making such a big deal out of Drag’s neopronouns not only distracted people from the very real problems Drag was causing with their shitty behaviour, but also made people rush to Drag’s defense because it made them look like a victim rather than the instigator of drama and harassment they really were. You can call someone out for being shitty without resorting to bigotry, whether you recognize it as such or not.

Of course, Drag’s gone now (well, until they make yet another alt) so this doesn’t really matter anymore, but your continued gatekeeping of their pronouns is what ultimately led to your ban. This wasn’t just a random ban, you brought it on yourself. Pick better battles next time.

Suck it up, buttercup!
