Looking at the modlog, it’s a temp ban from memes. I wouldn’t sweat it.

Looking at the modlog, they picked up a 5 day ban from memes@lemmy.ml for a comment that pretty much directly attacks .ml as being “tankie”.

It really depends on the instance. For lemmy.world, you can reach the admins by a couple of different email addresses, but I’m not sure how that works for, say, lemm.ee which is your instance, or lemmy.ml which is where you posted this.

Hence the “super shitty way to do it”. ;)

I mean, I don’t blame them for protecting their IP, they just picked a super shitty way to do it.

I don’t even think they would have needed an official cease and desist… just a friendly note of “Hey, none of this Funko material is licensed, please remove it.”

At first I was like “WTF does an indie games site have to do with Funko?” then I Googled it…

Looks like they hosted a BUNCH of infringing games, so Funko, instead of doing the righteous thing and sending them a takedown request, just nuked the whole domain…
