I don't see why the name should be different I mean Seinfeld is both the name of a show and the name of a person. I think it's fine the way it is :)

Have you tried using Tor yet, also potentially Mullvad Browser with a VPN since Mullvad's Browser has similar anti-fingerprinting and anti-tracking capabilities but for use outside the Tor Network.

Also there is a lot of disinformation surrounding hardware based bans on Websites, typically pushed as fearmongering by Reddit's moderators. Websites on modern secure browsers can't read your hardware identifiers because modern secure web browsers are Sandboxed. Of course this doesn't apply to Reddit's mobile app so don't use that ever really.

Also you need to use a different email since they check for matching emails.

Absolutely not, this is a terrible idea considering that they were defederated for being toxic and aggressive to our overall community, and also many people there are disingenuous in their takes, it's not a discussion community, it's brigading. The only way I could ever support anything like this is if their domain expired and someone used it to make a completely different instance.

That hasn't happened so I can't support this.

I usually have one with me because the place I work at keeps the AC very cold and it can get uncomfortable. Though I don't usually wear it outside when it's warm.

People still think it's weird though that I'm wearing a sweater even though in the building it can be as cold as 3°C and while that feels nice at first when you get in from the heat, it gets old after about 2 hours.

No I meant Norse Hell. And if it's too cold for you, that's kind of the point.

Corporations want people to act like their EULAs are written in blood when they're just ramblings of an entitled child on the playground. What are you going to do? Ban them again?

This is definitely giving me Twilight Princess vibes.

What’s the issue if most instances don’t run with a karma system? So you might get low karma’d in some piefed instances that you don’t post from?

That would be the case if most instances operated like that but most don't. Most will ultimately have it enabled, and if most of them have it enabled it will affect users even on ones where it is turned off.

The modlogs have already been made public by Rimu due to popular demand.

Is this a piefed.social change or a piefed software change. If it's the ladder then that's good and it's not really an issue anymore. If it's the former it's still a big trust issue because it can presumably be turned off and on at will, by making it hardcoded it can still be disabled but it's more work, requires maintaining a fork and basically guarantees that 99% of modlogs will be there and be recording.

Of course not, but enough do that it'll become a problem. Something to consider is that for many admins the default options might as well be hardcoded since they are not attentive enough to turn it off, but for others. Karma requirements are enticingly lazy solutions for moderation, and turning modlog off is also enticing because it makes it easier to hide when things are removed and people are banned.

Honestly I don't think it matters much since what admins can do isn't usually what they will do. Defaults matter, and also it's very tempting for them to disable some features like modlogs that it will be done disproportionately.

But also the problem with the Karma features is that they are present on all of them, turning it off in yours doesn't make the issue go away and doesn't prevent people from abusing it the way subreddits abuse Karma scores right now.
