I’ll try to say this delicately enough to not get banned…
The modlog (which also contains the full text of my post) cites as the reason for the removal of my post “rule 1” which according to the sidebar is “Be civil and nice.”
I think they consider any criticism of the government of Iran to be “incivility” and/or “meanness”.
(Hopefully I’m not misinterpreting the mods here. Mods, please feel free to step in and correct any such misrepresentation.)

Oh shit, is it just the eventual end product of teenage rebelliousness?
Anyone want to place bets on how long it is before Elon uses this as an excuse to whisper in Trump’s ear that he needs to classify the Fediverse as a terrorist organization? It’d conveniently shut down competition with Xitter (and other billionaire-owned social media sites) if Mastodon (and Lemmy and PeerTube and Diaspora etc) was shut down for “RaDiCaLiZiNg fErTiLiTy ClInIc BoMbErS” or whatever BS.
Challenges in 2034:
What’s your stance on North Korea?
What’s worse is when that asshole tickles my sinus nerves just a little, never actually letting me sneeze, but still being an annoying piece of shit.
From the director who brought you Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey.
Yeah, I was just looking through some documentation on it. It says it uses a “digital wallet”. Maybe people are seeing that and thinking that means it’s blockchain-based? I’m not seeing anything more solid claiming there’s any blockchain involved, though. (I’m not 100% certain there isn’t any blockchain involved, though.)
It’s BS either way. Extra super plus plus BS if it’s blockchain-based. But still BS even if there’s no blockchain involved.
One of the crucial differences between blockchain and Git is that Git is fully subserviant to humans and anything can be undone by humans.
If your blockchain house title is stolen by a hacker, either the courts (rightfully) aren’t going to put any significance on the state of the blockchain and are going to say “yeah, you still own your house” (in which case what was the point of using blockchain in the first place rather than a SQL database or some such where mistakes and problems and fraud can be undone without cryptographically-hard obstacles in the way) or if in this hypothetical the Libertarian dystopia has progressed to cartoonish extremes, you’re just SOL and lost your house, which just isn’t even remotely realistic.
Someone needs to teach me this trick of buying pizza with the pizza’s own money.
“Dominoes hates this one weird trick.”
For a second there I was worried there was something I hadn’t heard about Robert Downey Jr.
Shouldn’t his answer be “Yes. I signed an NDA.”?
Is that an eyeball in his nostril?
They’re dying him blue to make him into a jaby.
So, in other words, it does require that much computing power.
So much this. I want a world where the Harry Potter canon can just be “forked” and retconned to make all the “good guy” characters Jewish trans people and all the bad guys TERFs.
