Frankly it sounds a lot like pseudo-legalese. IMO the worst of both legalese (that could shield the entity legally) and writing clearly (that could inform users). However it doesn't imply that discrimination is allowed here, and 5.0.1 ("Lemmy.World is not a place for you to attack other groups of people.") already arguably protects people against discrimination.

It’s a hell of a lot clearer too. “Discriminate” is more vague than “attack”.

Pretty much. Writing vague nonsense without even using vetted examples as a basis. And then spending more time trolling people than addressing concerns. And this follows on mysteriously wiping out entire mod teams because of a decision that a dark grey area is "illegal" (rather than just "a good way to get sued") while actively not addressing the mods openly discussion said wipings. Or the flip flopping on whether to allow the piracy communities because apparently cranky users beat potential indentured servitude to nintendo.

Gonna be honest. I did not expect to re-live the 00s message board cycle in 2023. And probably need to start looking for a new home instance since we can already see the chuds coming out of the woodwork because they feel empowered.
