Mod censored nothing yet but locked a thread that informed the zerowaste community that charities have recently started rejecting pre-spychip hardware, and as a consequence the hardware is being destroyed. This is not just any e-waste. It’s hardware that is irreplaceable because no consumer-grade chipmakers are currently making spychip-free processors anymore.

I don’t give a shit that the thread was locked. The abuse of power is in deciding for everyone to ban future posts about e-waste (and prevention thereof) w.r.t pre-spychips – a limited resource. It’s anti-thetical to the zerowaste mission of the community.

Note as well that no sidebar rule was created. So looks like it will be a kind of non-transparent selective enforcement. When mods have undisclosed rules, it’s a red flag for shananigans. People should know what rules are in play. It’s part of making a decision on whether a community is true to its superficial values.

    literally you did not reach the 4th sentence. Read the full post before responding, if you don’t want to make an ass of yourself.

        Correction: no point in being an asshat while putting your reading comprehension problem on display.

          Youre in the wrong in the linked thread. suck it up and move on.

          why did you even post if you didn’t want to be challenged? you want an echo chamber?

            I said a lot of things. Wrong about what?

            why did you even post if you didn’t want to be challenged?

            Good informative challenges are fine. “Challenges” (thread crap) by tech-challenged pro-corporate-bent brains - not so interesting.
