  • OKAY I didn't think this was unique to me. I seem to have been muted for pretty innocent stuff? I have been muted at least 6 times. The posting bans have lasted anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks. It's very frustrating when you type out a well thought-out comment, click to submit, and it never posts. 😑 I try to select all & copy my comment before I submit.

    If I know some mod has muted me, I just comment 'A' on random posts to see if I'm allowed to speak again. If it doesn't post successfully, ban remains in effect. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

    It almost has to be a muting ban of sorts, because I can't post on my main but on a secondary I can post just fine. I haven't left Lemmy (yet...) because I'm not going back to Reddit & aside from this, Lemmy is a decent substitute. Lemmy has been really frustrating, trying to be a member of the community. Forced into being a lurker six different times by some anonymous coward(s). Not knowing when your ban will be lifted.

    If my theories are correct, I'd like a little more transparency in the process. Who issues the muting bans, WHY, and when the talking ban will expire. It can be a simple, private direct message. "Butthurt Bob has muted you for: hurting his fee-fees. Butthurt Bob's ban will last 6 days."

  • I mean I always check to see if there's "one in the chamber". And yeah even if you had a full magazine, until it's racked, the gun is a paperweight.

    Remove magazine, check twice, dry fire not pointed at ANYTHING of value, the dirt or something (doesn't hurt that type of gun to dry fire)...can't be reckless with something that is designed to kill.

  • Nah, it tracks. In a bizarre, backwater country where homosexuality is persecuted, it is possible that the kidnapper (perhaps both men)....to borrow from your words...enjoy acting on the tip. 😏

    Things aren't always as they appear & we might not know the truth. We know only what they tell us. A man being restrained in a sheep pen for 26 years? A man "put under his captor's spell"? At this point, it is remotely plausible that this great war was seen as an opportunity to run away from his family, disappear entirely & be presumed dead, to live with his lover that he knew. ¯°_o)/¯

  • Also not sure about a name, but in Greek mythology, there's Daedalus. He built a massive maze, which was then used against him to imprison him & his son. Daedalus crafted wings out of feathers & beeswax to escape the island of Crete, but his son Icarus flew too close to the sun. Melting the wax, destroying the wings, and drowning in the sea.
