Wow that’s a useful list of things they accept for recycling. It’s a total PITA to recycle anything electronics related in my city especially stuff like computers & hard drives let alone cables. That may end up getting me inside a Staples more often than once every year or two so maybe their plan is going to work.
For bonus points watch the last episode of Doom Patrol. Also featuring Brendan Fraser! (well, at least his voice)
Might be a bit more than mildly infuriating.
Are you talking about a different community or instance? !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com does not allow direct links to content yet lemmy.world admins blocked it anyway.
Even the German specific Lemmy instances like https://feddit.de do not block the piracy discussion communities.
The piracy blocking stuff seems like something lemmy.world admins decided to do based on a troll from another instance demanding it.
True, would have expected something in !lemmyworld@lemmy.world but there’s been nothing announced there.
Not only that, it was a brand new account on a totally different Lemmy instance that demanded lemmy.world admins remove piracy related communities.
Honestly it seems like lemmy.world admins were trolled by some random throwaway account and took the bait.
EDIT: The post in question in case others haven’t seen it https://lemmy.world/post/3175920, a new account from lemm.ee makes their first & only post in lemmy.world demanding that they defederate & remove anything piracy related.
Haha just re-watched that episode, great timing.
I suspect most people (including me) are probably lurkers/upvoters. The lurkers will have more to say when the new season is live :)
Also, where does that subscriber count come from? I looked at this community via 3 different Lemmy instances & saw different numbers on each of them… maybe that number is just specific to the amount of local instance members subscribed to that community. Here at lemmy.zip we’re at 18 subscribers for !futurama@lemmy.world
Admins yes. But maybe regular users should avoid Lemmy’s 2FA implementation for now (unless they have lots of experience with this).
With the current implementation it’s way too easy for an average user to attempt to get this set up & get themselves locked out of their own Lemmy account.
In the end I got nervous & was unsure which if any of my apps were working with Lemmy’s 2FA so disabled it for now. It’ll get better in a future update, just saying be careful going through the current setup.
Yeah don’t bother doing that. All that will accomplish is them gathering even more information on you, they rarely/never actually unlock your account & let you use it again. You’ve been permanently blacklisted on their service, just move on. And honestly you don’t need Paypal anyway.
Similar stupid thing happened to me too I think about 10-15 years ago, I was using virtual credit card numbers that my credit card company was generating for me & Paypal thought that was suspicious enough to close my account & permanently blacklist me LOL.
Fun fact: I did learn over the years that I can temporarily create new Paypal account(s) as long as I don’t use the same mailing/billing addresses or credit cards/bank accounts. But then it’s just a waiting game, they usually figure it out eventually and close the Paypal account yet again.
