A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is actually illegal, if they ban you for that they're violating the GDPR, so i'd say let them.
Wait, how is the GDPR applicable here? I thought the GDPR was just about data protection...
GDPR is absolutely not applicable here. Their platform, their rules when it comes to what people can and can't post (with the exception of personal information, that is covered by GDPR). If tomorrow they decide that the word "Banana" is a bannable offence, they're well within their rights.
All the more reason that federation is necessary in modern social media.
My bad, messed that up, edited my comment
