if you’re not community banned you might still be instance banned on the community instance, which wouldn’t show up in your local instances modlog if the ban happened on a <0.19.4 instance. if the methods pointed out by other comments here fail I suggest you visit the instance of the community and check the site modlog there, searching for your user.

i suspect you’re referring to your post to a lemmy.ml community and you have indeed been instance banned there for a limited amount of time.

I just keep reading ai gore…

I can sell you a copy of lemmys source code, are you interested?

sure they do, you’re one of them

people on mastodon need to mention a lemmy community to post there. you can’t see mastodon posts on lemmy unless they’re in a community. comments from lemmy are a pretty bad experience on mastodon I believe.

you can enable end to end encryption, it’s optional. I don’t think it’s enabled by default.

until 0.19.4 is released, clients are supposed to suppress comment contents when the comment is either marked as removed (moderator) or deleted (creator).

they might decide to show contents to site admins or community moderators anyway, but some clients did not implement this properly and show the original content to all users.

this is of course not something that should have been available to everyone in the first place, which is why this is being fixed in 0.19.4.

depending on the client, you should still see some kind of indicator above the comment text that shows it was removed or deleted, in this case removed.

won’t be the case for much longer, the next lemmy release is removing that.

i suggest you remove this quote and summarize it with fewer details if you need to have it there in the first place. you’re effectively advertising for them now and undoing the moderator action of removing this advertisement.

fwiw, every week or so there is a scheduled task that permanently overwrites contents of deleted comments.

fyi @freamon@lemmy.world

The OEM version is working fine, as the drivers are embedded there. My point was that without this recovery partition you tend to run into issues on newer devices, as the MS bundled drivers get updated only infrequently.

even on Windows 10/11, I’m still frequently hearing about issues at work where the necessary ssd drivers are only included in the default windows installer (not the recovery shipped with the device) like half a year later. at least with Dell this seems to be a common theme.

I have a large library of games I’ve never played on stream. a couple months back I wanted to play a game I had installed a while ago and guess what, forced always online. not from steam, but from the shitty team behind doom (don’t remember which version it was), which just happened to be at the time I had a multi hour internet outage.
afterwards I figured out I had to explicitly block some network traffic to stop it from trying to force me to sign up for an account with the developer.

while steam certainly has DRM options, they are configurable by developers and afaik can’t enforce an always online requirement with just steam, only though custom logic in the game or third party DRM. developers are also free to not use steam DRM.

DRM, as usual, harms the legitimate buyers.

that being said, steam still does bring a lot of value, such as their hardware developments, their work on better Linux gaming support, the update distribution through a trusted source, and various others.

you’re not getting banned from steam, you’re generally getting banned from participating in anti cheat secured lobbies of a single game or a group of games.

single player experience is generally not affected.

having a 3 strike system before getting banned from multiplayer just means it’s 66% cheaper for a cheater to get a new copy of the game.

this is also not new and has been the case for the current family sharing system as well.

how about “silly”? “stupid”?

unlike on reddit, you can edit your post title here on lemmy.

I keep trying but it keeps asking me to set up an account. eventually it accepts that I set up an account named root, but it won’t let me continue without an account.

reporting absolutely helps. it increases visibility for content that slipped through automated moderation and having more reports for content indicates urgency.

here’s also some more context and explanation about what’s going on:
