That is indeed what I was thinking of.

They block most VPNs outright.

Gonna be real, the only thing this offers that I could want, I already have set up through Playnite…

In fact, I’d say this looks really kinda bad. Just about everything you charge for is just leveraging some service or tool someone else already made for free.

So, what you’re saying is, if someone on your Lemmy instance breaks the rules of another instance, your entire instance should be defederated, right?

And yet it is.

Can’t say if this anon specifically had this happen, but there’s plenty of proof of it happening.

Sounds to me like some moderator wanted those unreliable sources and pieces of propaganda slipped in.

Definitely PTB.

Wow, look at the last removal from that timeframe in the modlog. Someone literally just said they think the other person might be a spam bot and got their post removed for it. There’s definitely a mod with an agenda there.

Community score being 36 makes me think this might be a well-known crack. Check the community tab there, see what the comments say.
