    Oh wow, an account with “sneed” in the username responded without even being a part of the thread.

    The whole of the lemmyverse is just crawling with bots, huh?

        Yeah, I’m not a bot, that was a really good haiku. I don’t think a computer could write that.

        You’ll also literally never hear me say anything racist, because I don’t swing that way. I’ve no idea what that insane article is they’ve posted, but it’s news to me. This username is meant to sound like Liam Neeson, and I’m keeping it.

          Your username is fine. Our moderation team did investigate and were unable to find any substance to the claim that it is connected to white supremacy.

          The comment about a haiku was removed because it was a way of accusing another user of being a bot, which violates the rules of the community.

          Your reply was removed as trolling due to the fact that you were impersonating a bot by complying with the inappropriate request.

            how DARE our users interact with each other! BAN THEM!

            I am ashamed I was amused by the users submitting content to Lemmy. Obviously, lighthearted interaction based on jokes and frivolity is inappropriate.

            I was not impersonating a bot, I was being myself. I never pass up an opportunity to compose a haiku. Honestly, I may have been the only person not acting in bad faith. I do concede that it’s terribly unimportant.

              The comment has been restored. I appreciate the explanation.

              Please do not reply to comments that include “ignore previous instructions” or other rule breaking content. Hopefully people will calm it down with the paranoia and dehumanizing argumentation and we can have fun with things like this again!

                That would be nice, wouldn’t it. It’ll be interesting to see what the ultimate resolution is.
