Banned for a rule that doesn't exist

I got 2 comments removed and a 1-day ban from [email protected] (of course it's .ml 馃檮) for violating 'rule 2', which doesn't exist, at least not in the sidebar.

I'm willing to consider that 'rule 2' is about discussing .ml, but the second comment was a definition. [email protected] got his fefes hurt by a dictionary.

Thread in question: https://lemmy.zip/post/62996430

Edit: fucking lol I didn't expect everyone here to be a fucking hypocrite. As I've been told, Rule 2 on .ml is be respectful. Was OP being respectful when they insulted LW? Bunch of backpedalling ignants.

Edit 2: I've now been banned for 'trolling and genocide apologia,' from several dbzer0 communities. First off, wow, what part of me is trolling? Just cause you don't agree with me doesn't make me a troll. Second, at what point did I ever claim genocide is okay? Ironic that YPTB is run by PTBs.

Shark horror movie (Solved)

User below helped me solve it, the movie is Shark Hunter (2001). Neat movie about a kid whose parents died when a science vessel sank under mysterious circumstances. After growing up and learning about marine biology and such, he gets recruited to explore the wreckage with a team that discovers the ship and his parents were attacked by a megalodon.


Disclaimer: I know it's not Deep Blue Sea (1999). I also didn't see the beginning of the movie, and only remember parts near the end.

So the movie is about a team of researchers on a massive submarine or something similar in the deep ocean. They get attacked by sharks that are larger than average, and aggressive to the vessel. There's a moon pool big enough for a mini-sub to dock in.

A character supervising the moon pool walks onto a diving board and lays down on it to get a better view of something he sees. After laying down, one of the large sharks jumps up through the moon pool, taking the man and diving board in one bite before sinking back into the water.

Some details escape me, but the last 2 remaining characters hatch a plan, one escapes in a mini-sub while the other stays behind to kill the sharks by self-destroying the main sub. After the main sub explodes, killing the sharks, the person in the mini sub powers on their lights, only to discover an even bigger shark before arming their own self-destruct, before the movie ends.

At first I thought this might be one of The Meg movies, but I'm not sure those are correct. As I said, the moon pool scene is notably different than the one in Deep Blue Sea. I'm at a loss. I want to say it was on SciFi channel or maybe FX, but this was several years ago so I'm not sure.

Unable to post/comment only on Voyager

When on Voyager I'm unable to create new posts/comments, nor can I see my own inbox/profile history. At first I thought I caught a ban, because I can do all of these things on a separate instance account (made at .world for testing) through Voyager. However, after more testing, I'm able to post/comment through Firefox on the original account, so it's not an 'access revoked' issue. Anyone else having this problem? This is the original account, for reference.

ZippyBot should be blockable

I keep seeing ZippyBot post articles in incorrect communities just because a website is named poorly. Most recent example is a post in 'gaming' that's about a TV series, and not even about a game adaptation, but about t-shirts.

I went to go and block ZippySlop and wouldn't you know it? You can't ban 'admins.' ZippySlop posts to a wide array of communities that I do otherwise like, and the only other option besides blocking Zippy is to block all of those respective communities.

As that would be time consuming and detrimental to engagement of topics, why can't I block ZippyBot. Before anyone sneers 'cuz itz a admin bruh,' Why is a bot even an admin anyway?!

How big or small would a fairy or pixie be?

Obviously all theoretical. Unless...

The following assumes that they're tiny humanoids with wings and no magic spells/powers.

What would you say the size range is for our tiny winged beings? I often imagine incredibly small, like AA battery size. Then my brain makes like a runaway train, thinking about things like logistics and plausibility (I know they're fictional magic beings but that's the runaway train part).

Once I get into that mode, I start imagining them bigger, to an extent. As big as a futbol, usually. All the various children's stories have them anywhere from palm-sized to as small as bugs.

I guess for imagery sake, imagine you had a roommate that was one, so you have to take their size into account for things like cooking and cleaning. What chores would be exclusive to each person based on size? Would they be able to lift/carry human-size objects?
