I don’t even know what to think about this one. I’m not angry, more confused than anything. There’s only one mod there so i asked them, and they said “It’s against policy. It’s the abbreviations policy.”
I see no such policy anywhere, so who knows what’s going on. Is it only the NYT that can’t be abbreviated? What about the US? Is LOL forbidden too? And if so, why are we forbidden from laughing there!
They didn’t even remove the comment.
The mod is user qrstuv. Maybe the only abbreviation allowed is when they say one? That’s a power trip!
What happens if you write GNU since that’s a recursive acronym?
Believe it or not, straight to jail.
After they finish expanding it
Spam GNU everywhere to occupy all their threads.
Lots of mod WINEing
Oh no, saying “the US” is also a bannable abbreviation! Lol! What in the world
Lol
6 day ban! You must type “laughing out loud”
no abbreviations? that is the single most idiotic rule ive ever seen. what a fucking idiot.
A pet peeve of mine is when people randomly throw acronyms around expecting everyone to just know what it means, but this is taking the piss.
Yeah, I’m okay with discouraging abbreviations. But a blanket ban is silly.
Comments on a post about a New York Times article regarding the United States should probably be fine to use NYT & US.
Comments talking about the best computer role playing game going on and on about PoE2 deserve a ban however.
Power over Ethernet 2 when??
I’m a member of the SDF instance and I’ve reported this. I hope it gets attention and action. I don’t appreciate someone making us look like clowns.
Isn’t SDF an abbreviation too ?
Yes.
Another instance to block.
The Fediverse gets a little smaller
Why would you block a whole instance if you don’t like the actions in just one of its communities?
