The instance rules state;
No impersonation of a person or a brand. Even parodies.
Each username on here should be a person, not a brand or corporation - and that person must be you, no impersonation.
Now I’m not coming to the defense of a corporation because fuck corps but wouldn’t this account violate those rules? Microsoft is a (shitty) brand and this is a parody of that.
I might be wrong but thats how I would interpret those two rules.
And again fuck microsoft, even if it does violate the instance rules it should be left alone just to piss of a shitty corp.

It’s not hosted on that instance. It’s hosted at another instance. You’re making the same mistake that the Microsoft bot AI did.
Is it a mistake? Wouldn’t federated content still count the same way legally, since an instance is also a website?
you’re assuming that American law applies to people not living in America.
I’m not assuming that, I just don’t see why would it even matter if it’s from another instance.
Yeah, I literally made an edit admitting it so thanks for wasting your time pointing it out again.
You’re making the same mistake Microsoft made
Stupid rules deserve breaking.

I believe the Microsoft account is hosted on Lea.pet, which doesn’t have those rules

Some might argue it requires a terminal level of brain worms to understand what is being said with rule 8. But I for one find beauty in this exactly level and flavor of petty, and I come to the fediverse for it.

Also, what’s a valid reason for harassment?

Presumably using Ubuntu is one of them lol

Fair point, I didn’t know those rules weren’t on lea.pet. There are to many instances to keep track of them all.
