Comment on Microsoft doesn't understand the Fediverse

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.

You’re making the same mistake Microsoft made
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.
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?
InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Presumably using Ubuntu is one of them lol
the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Fair point, I didn’t know those rules weren’t on lea.pet. There are to many instances to keep track of them all.
