Lawmakers: Yes, this is what we want to use it for.
Pressure groups: Yes, this is what we want to use it for.
Human rights activists: This is what they want to do with it.
Idiot: No, it won't do anything like that.

"Last year, Delaware police prevented 54-year-old Jonathan Guessford from holding a sign warning drivers about a speed trap and wrongfully cited him for "improper hand signal" after he flipped off the officers who seized and tore up his sign."
"As Guessford drove away after the encounter, he flipped off the officers, leading them to eventually cite him for "improper hand signal" under a statute governing hand signals for nonmotorized vehicles like bicycles. However, body camera footage showed that officers knew that the citation was incongruous and would likely be dropped."
"Guessford filed a lawsuit against the officers in February, alleging that they violated his First Amendment rights by destroying his sign and issuing an improper citation. Last week, the officers settled the lawsuit, agreeing to give Guessford a $50,000 payout."

We love the four freedoms, and we want others to be able to enjoy them as well. Read about the four freedoms of #FreeSoftware: https://u.fsf.org/2cj
Someone tells me that CF is doing something like WEI. This is very problematic.
Oh, I've seen many, many different genres and kinds of anime.
Yup, this anime is about as inexplicable as I remember, and that is part of what is interesting about it.
Since you wanted more anime content, I gave you your anime content (although, I kind of do whatever I want, lol).
An Unidentified #Anime Object?
I see something that looks like a head and arms? It might not be though, it might be mind playing tricks on me, we know those illusions.
Lastly, there's this sucker that looks like it's from #anime. I just don't recognize it though... It's not the #macross ... Maybe something from #v...
I'd say Overlord's light novel is fairly similar to the #anime, although the anime contains fewer details, and is faster paced.
There are some things you only know about in the light novel :)
I don't think you can even get more of No Game No Life without reading the light novel (although, I don't think the #anime is completely canonical).
It also seems quite unlikely there will another anime for that.
The light novel seems lewder, which I guess is a good thing.
I don't watch live action adaptations of anime, lol.

@sesivany @philbaker1 It's a pretty big problem with the fediverse.
I've hypothesized quite a few ways in which it might happen.
1) There might be one or two trolls, or abrasive personalities, and an admin might take the nuclear option to that.
Also, admins have a tendency of blocking out remote users (rather than taking less intrusive measures) over mere disagreements, or responses to one of their own users engaging in trolling type activities.
As always, these decisions are non-transparent, there is no discourse, and it is up to you to "figure it out".
2) Some users might talk crap and might rub someone the wrong way.
3) Petty beefs between admins.
This happened on the one I'm on. Another admin started a fight with my admin over how to best do fediverse governance. The instance blocks went flying.
There are other examples of admins getting in fights with other admins, sometimes because one talked crap about another, and blocking entire instances.
4) I saw rhetoric around Fosstodon not wanting to moderate posts in non-English languages and people calling to block it because they see it as colonialism.
As far as I'm concerned, blocking instances is supposed to be a last resort in an extreme scenario.
What we instead see is a home owner's association policing each other over petty things.
5) In a few cases, federating with a "bad instance", even if it's to ensure the fediverse doesn't unnecessarily get fragmented.
6) Concern troll instances which jump into sub-cultures associated with nudity and instate no nudity policies.
7) I've noticed a great schism between a free speech crowd and a more moderated crowd, and a tendency towards polarization in content moderation policy.
8) If an instance is blocked in some way, expect fun scenarios where you can see part of the conversation and not others. This isn't immediately obvious either.
It gets worse when you think of how complex visibility can be to different people in a conversation.
Traditionally, the solution to this would be to have something like five or eight accounts.
9) Sometimes, an admin will block an instance which contains adult content which doesn't have a NSFW label, instead of setting it up to automatically add that to all media (if it's that important to them), or to block media from rendering.
There are also diverging opinions about what even constitutes NSFW content.
10) Different philosophies in what kinds of content are permissible. In theory, you could slice this up a hundred which ways, everyone has different ideas of what speech is permissible.
With quite a few #anime, they're actually ads for a light novel.
I think that's one of those things which a lot of us already know but it's worth mentioning, lol.
So, lobbyists for companies which sell "age verification" software are praising an extremely right wing party in Australia because one of them appears to be supportive of their intrusive solutions.
#Overlord. An #anime adapted from a light novel (which appears to have started as a web novel).
The main character is a salaryman who used to be the head of an online guild and played as some sort of lich.
One day, when the game is about to come to an end, and after the other members of the guild had already left, he's transported to another world (as his game character) along with his guild's NPCs / guild.
Surprisingly for that world, while his level is 100, the levels of the native inhabitants are far, far lower.
I've read the web novel, light novel, and seen the anime.
Danganronpa. An #anime where you have to figure out the murderer in each round.
If you fail, you will all die and the murderer will go free from the game.
If you succeed, you will live for a round longer, and the murderer will be executed.
Linebarrels of Iron. Giant robot combat #anime. He can summon a giant robot called Linebarrel on the spot and fights for a medical giant called JUDA.
