Willing to bet that they were probably banned because of disinformative conspiratorial crap like this. Is that not why it was banned on World for a short time?
I wouldn't get your hopes up, from what the Devs have said it'll only actually block communities in the instances, not users.
Willing to bet they're on Kbin, Kbin favors trolls more than Lemmy does, since they have significantly worse moderation and some kbin instances have no moderation.
Vote manipulation will be tricky to enforce, since votes can come from any Instance due to the whole federation thing, if the user uses the same username on their account it's easy but if not it can be very difficult if not impossible.

> Two-Factor-Authentication is now enabled in a two-step process to avoid locking yourself out. Now a secret needs to be generated first with POST /api/v3/user/totp/generate (no parameters). The generated token needs to be added by the user to an authenticator app.
>
> Once this is completed, 2FA can be enabled with POST /api/v3/user/totp/update. This takes a string parameter totp_token (generated by authenticator app), and boolean enabled. 2FA can be disabled again with the same update endpoint. Additionally, the 2FA algorithm has been changed to SHA1 for better compatibility.

> ### Timestamps now include timezone
>
> Previous Lemmy versions used timestamps without any timezone internally. This caused problems when federating with other software that uses timezones.
>
> Going forward, all timestamps in the API are switching from timestamps without time zone (2023-09-27T12:29:59.113132) to ISO8601 timestamps (e.g. 2023-10-29T15:10:51.557399+01:00 or Z suffix). In order to be compatible with both 0.18 and 0.19, parse the timestamp as ISO8601 and add a Z suffix if it fails (for older versions).

> 0.19 adds support for cursor based pagination on the /api/v3/post/list endpoint. This is more efficient for the database. Instead of a query parameter ?page=3, listing responses now include a field "next_page": "Pa46c" which needs to be passed as ?page_cursor=Pa46c. The existing pagination method is still supported for backwards compatibility, but will be removed in the next version.

Just a heads up, this person is a known troll across lemmy they're well known for their hostile and inflammatory content and just saying things to get a rise out of people, this person also isn't exactly receptive to feedback. Just wanted to let you know since trying to talk with someone like this is like talking to a brick wall.
He's always like this unfortunately.
You were banned because you were arguing for why people shouldn't be arrested for possession of CSAM material, trolling and straw-manning in the replies, and on top of that attempting to seriously and honestly advocate for pedophiles on another community, which is at best borderline illegal (anyone can check the modlog on that one if they don't believe me, I wouldn't make such claims if they weren't true).
So to summerize you were banned for
- Trolling
- Promoting Illegal Activities (Pedophilla and CSAM)
I have not clue, people can be quite toxic and horrible. Also noticed that they reduced his ban, not sure why, defending pedophilia is pretty bad and definitely carries legal risk but it's not my call to make.
Do people think that someone has to use the same email address, or the same username? If someone uses a different email, username, and IP address (don't try and argue semantics it can, always can, and always has been done) then whatever you put into the list can't be applied to them.
Even if you ask for IDs people can fake those, it's illegal sure but so is what these assholes did and it didn't really stop them now did it.
They were banned because they were defending pedophilia (advocating for them to be able to get off to what turns them on) and also trolling very aggressively. You can look at them in the Modlog on the Website, not sure if Apps implement the modlog yet though.
That's good then, was worried for a sec that people could upload images without having an account, that would be very bad and make these kind of attacks insanely easy.
I would definately agree that this would very likely count as cyber terrorism, and if it doesn't it should.
I had no idea how right I was at the time I commented that, since I hadn't scrolled far back enough in his comment history but yeah, way more right than I would've liked đŹ
Matrix is a secure chat protocol used by the Devs to message eachother.
A pull request is a way of proposing and contributing code on git-based platforms like github, gitlab, and codeberg.
I guess this is also the difference between getting caught or not. To me, rapist that is never caught is still a rapist even if they are never labelled as such, so a pedophile that hides it forever successfully is still a pedophile.
Agreed. If they did it but hid it and never were publicly labeled as a pedophile they are still a pedophile because of their actions and intentions, even if they were never caught and/or cancelled/convicted for it.
Wait I noticed that there's an image button in the application form, is there any risk that that might be abused by users passing by to upload to pictrs in registrations without an account? That could be a big problem if they could.
Lol you do realize blocking on Lemmy means to ignore them, it's not going to silence them or more critically prevent them from downvoting or reporting you like it does on Reddit.
You're just going to stop seeing them, they can keep calling you out for it. You just made it easier for them.
Oh by the way, MAP stuff really doesn't look good on you (that's in your comment history). Yeah maybe you think I'm a terrible person because I think drugs should be treated less harshly but you have literally said in other comments that Pedophiles should be allowed to get off on what turns them on (which I remind you is exploitation of Minors). That is a very different stance than people shouldn't be beaten and arrested for snorting coke, you're literally advocating for people to be allowed to produce and consume abuse material and claiming that it's acceptable for people to be pedophiles, and pursue their attractions instead of getting help. I don't know how you don't see what is wrong with that. Like seriously this is either really bad trolling (way too far) or, you're one of them.
Too bad, Iâm âkid agnosticâ; they might as well be cars or dragons âdrawn or otherwiseâ, I donât care whether theyâre âkidâ or âgrownupâ cars or dragons.
I think I now know which one it is if that statement from the horse's mouth is to be believed...
Hello I am writing this post because I stumbled across this instance which allows and hosts loli material (which can be classified as CSAM) as per their rules: >The above explicitly does not include drawings, often referred to collectively as âloliâ.
As these types of sexual depictions of Minors are illegal in many countries it is important that we defederate them as soon as possible to avoid cross-hosting such content on this service.
I understand how people feel about defederation but this is not based on opinions or politics but rather an issue related to illegal content, and this content is illegal in countries where the Server is hosted, where the hosting company is located, and where several of the Admins live so this issue should not be taken lightly.
