I enjoyed my time being here and helping to grow this community. My plan was to keep things such as book of the month and show discussions going indefinitely. It’s sad to say goodbye as I would love to continue to try my best at facilitating discussion and help this community become a great resource for science fiction fans everywhere. Unfortunately, I don’t have a choice as lemmy.world admins have made the rather baffling decision to ban my account despite no rules being broken. Unless I hear back from Ruud on the matter and the situation is rectified there is no way for me to continue to enjoy discussing science fiction with all of you here. I’m unsure if I will attempt to restart this community on another instance.

Keep on loving science fiction. You guys are great. 🚀

    Wow, I read that chain earlier, and while I absolutely disagree with you, nothing about that was toxic or harassment.

      Though it’s abundantly clear that his views are gaining some negative attention from some users that either are misinformed, or have questionable intentions.

      It’s entirely possible companies are trying multiple vectors to gain a chokehold on the community early on, seeing that most of the fediverses users are in currently in one convenient basket. Making communities falling under it, very appealing for predatory agencies.

      if that's all it takes to get a perma-boot there, how tf they have any users left?

      Yeah I don’t agree with the ads take at all, but I don’t think the commentary was toxic or harassing.
