I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

    “It’s okay that it’s a racist, sexist shithole full of threats of violence because I, personally have never seen that so it must not exist. Additionally, as I personally have never seen it, you must have a ridiculous view of what extremism might be… in spite of a US senate report that goes directly against my point.”

      That’s all valid as saying to the US is “a racist, sexist shithole full of threats of violence” because those things exist somewhere in the US.

      I guess Lemmy is too by that metric and you’re still here.

        Same with literally any country I guess.

        The important thing to me is the ratio between relevant, quality content and hateful crap. For me, Steam has a lot of high quality stuff and not a ton of hateful crap, meaning if you don’t go looking for it, you probably won’t see much. I mostly stick to game reviews and guides, and I can quickly skim over it and find what’s relevant.

        There are plenty of sites where hateful crap is everywhere, and I avoid those. I’m honestly okay with skimming over the bad on an otherwise good site, because that’s just how I’ve grown to interact with the internet. I’d rather do that than have an overly censored internet.
