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!
There’s been another post about the same community (or was it same instance?) a week or two ago.
I remember the bans were because of NYT, USAID and probably others.
I don’t know if we had any explanation of what the fuck (sorry, meant to write ‘WTF’) is happening over there.
Yup, it’s not a new one: https://lemmy.cafe/post/13017274
Thanks, I was searching for keyword “abbreviations” and not “acronym” so couldn’t find the post.
Ah thank you. I didn’t even think to look, I was too much in a state of disbelief
And before that, weren’t they having problems with some white supremacist running coms over there and then they couldn’t find an admin available to instance ban them? smh
For like 24 hours. As internet things go, that’s not a long time. A much bigger deal was made out of it than it deserved.
