Apparently correcting someone who thinks you're from a different country than you actually are is being "offensive"?

Reddit tyrant-in-chief finds more fuel for the dumpster fire with threat to replace moderators
It's a long story.
lemmy.ml defederated ani.social (an instance focused on anime and manga) under the false accusation that ani.social would host child sexual abuse material. And, at the same time, dessalines removed ani.social from the join-lemmy page. Eventually nutomic reviewed the join-lemmy change and reverted it, but both instances stayed defederated.
Some time later, an anime series called Mahou Shoujo Whatever was airing. For Western standards the series is nasty; I think that it showed 14yos in sexualised positions or crap like that, I didn't watch it. But within Japanese standards it's still not considered porn / hentai. Someone commented about that series in !anime@lemmy.ml, and the comment got deleted, under the claim that the comment violated rule 3 (no porn).
But then people started talking about a potential migration of !anime@lemmy.ml to ani.social to avoid situations like the above. Then shit went downhill, with the admins wrecking the discussion threads about the potential migration under bullshit claims like "linking to instance featuring pedo content" and "doxxing". (I remember that a mod was forcibly removed, too.)
In the meantime, the very same ani.social instance was linked in the sidebar of !anime@lemmy.ml, one of lemmy.ml admins explicitly acknowledged it, and they never did anything about it.
And the same applies to "doxxing". Back then I moderated !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml; and users there (incl. me) were often referring to Reddit's CEO by his full name, and nickname, and the epithet "greedy pigboy". "Curiously", that is not doxxing for the standard of lemmy.ml admins, since they never took any action against it.
So note the pattern:
That's a bit too much of double standards for my taste, and it shows that lemmy.ml has a hidden rule - "don't discuss the emigration of lemmy.ml communities". In the meantime I was already noticing issues with the admins in the !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml modlog, such as deleting any comment that might remotely cast two certain governments in a bad light. (Guess which ones.)
There's also a really big community of Japanese descendants around Lima, Peru. To the point that they even formed a distinctive cuisine, called "nikkei" (lit. "second generation").
Based on recent genetic studies, both hypotheses are correct. But they refer to different stages of the language:
To be frank such large time period makes me think that we shouldn't even be referring to both languages by the same name, or trying to reconstruct them as it was one thing; that's a lot like trying to reconstruct Classical Latin and 2025 Spanish as if they were the same thing, or perhaps Proto-Germanic and English. Perhaps that's why the current reconstructions are such a mess.
