I've cleaned up this toxic comment thread and littleblue has got a temp community ban. I had originally left the parent comment for context, but have removed it at OPs request.

Thank you for editing your post and taking my feedback on board.

That has not been my experience, but I'm glad it works for you.

I am also sensitive to antisemitism, and share your concerns about some of the content on the posted link. But OP can't control what other people write on that site. Just because some antisemitic people/groups also support an economic boycot of Israel, doesn't imply that anyone who supports a boycott is antisemitic. It's a non-violent means to put pressure on the Israeli government. It doesn't look like they will stop the killing without additional external pressure, so if this helps to add some pressure then I can't do anything but support the boycott.

The issue people are having with your comment here is that you are misrepresenting the OPs post. The only thing they are calling for here is an economic boycott of Israel to pressure the Israeli government to end their attacks on Gaza. Meanwhile you are rolling that up in strawman argument that says that's basically the same thing as wanting the obliteration of all Israelis. Don't be so quick to make bad faith assumptions. While left wing antisemitism is a real issue, as is antisemitism in the middle east, OP hasn't given you any cause to make that accusation here. I'd suggest editing your post to clarify that you were (I assume?) talking more generally about the topic rather than about the OP in particular.

You’re clearly very naive and cannot see the world as more than black and white. Now the Israeli state are the bad guys and the Palestinians are the good guys. So now it is OK to boycott jews again, shout about the eradication of the Jewish state and its people (“from the river to the sea”) and talk about a one-directional genocide since “75 years and 182 days”. This is either really really stupid or blatantly antisemitic.

They said that advocating for the eradication of the Jewish state and it's people is either stupid or antisemitic. If you aren't advocating that (and I don't have any particular reason to think you are) then that statement doesn't even apply to you. It's a straw man argument. But looking at the link you posted, there's a "river to the sea" comment right there from someone else. So I can see where they might have gotten that impression. Seems to me we can chalk this up to a simple misunderstanding. They made bad faith assumptions about you, you made bad faith assumptions against them. Lets move on.

Refer to https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/9514481 for my response to flora.

It seems to me that you are the only person badjacketing in this post. If you think it's a good policy to ban fellow anarchists for having a nuanced view on the Gaza situation, then you might want to check out hexbear - intolerant authoritarianism is their whole vibe.

What does being an anarchist community mean to you? To my mind, if someone self identifies as an anarchist then they should be welcome here. If they are just here for trolling then that's another issue, but I don't think it applies in this case.

We read every report, but only take mod actions where it is warranted. Reading through what @flora_explorer@beehaw.org has posted here, I don't see anything that would violate any instance rules. You are welcome to block them if you don't want to engage with their arguments.

If you want to talk politics, you're gonna have to accept the fact that people will have different opions. This isn't hexbear where everyone with a different view is instabanned. I get that emotions are running high over the situation in Gaza, but try to respond in good faith instead of leaping to the most uncharitable interpretation possible.

I think they do (or at least did) put some form of DRM on their toner cartridges, but it is fairly easy to bypass as you mentioned. There was an article about the fact they had to instruct customers how to bypass it due to COVID related chip shortages a while back. https://www.techspot.com/news/92915-canon-printer-owners-get-official-guidance-bypass-printer.html

I did like the quality and longevity of my (very) old Canon MF8350cdn from 2011 - it was a workhorse! But my new(ish) Brother MFCL2710DW has been great so far too. Only time will tell if it lasts as long as the old Canon though.

I've got a Brother laser printer myself last year, and I like the printer, but I'll agree their software is bit of a hot mess. I used to have an old Canon multi-function laser printer that wasn't locked to 1st party toner, and their software was much easier to install and use. But it finally broke down after >10 years of moderate use and the new models are reportedly DRMed, so Brother was the only decent option.

fuckin' oath, cunt ("yes, I agree", in Australian)

Lol some people just can't play nice with others. ¯(ツ)_/¯

Post the home page link you are using to access 1337x so we can confirm either way whether this is legit.

The votes on this post tell a different story. What you mean to say is that you don't care. That's fine, jog on bro.

What's the issue exactly? People pirate for different reasons. We get it, you pirate because you feel like it. You do you. Some people pirate because they can't afford it, or something isn't legally available in their area, or as a protest about greedflation, etc. The high seas welcome all sailors, whatever their motivations, so long as they don't harass their fellow pirates.

By the way, these comments are fucking hilarious guys.

Guys, this comment is simply pointing out that this is the premise of the joke for this meme. The /s is clearly implied. It's the meme you should be reporting.

🤣
