Imagine what dark, skooma-infested Dwemer ruin this NPC found this device in. Just like other Dwemer automatons, it continues to function, completely unaware that their creators have long since disappeared…

I submit for your judgement, my ban from a History Photos, after the mod (a favourite around here) loses his cool and breaks almost all the sub rules and the instance general guidelines.

Arguably he also breached instance rule 1 against ableist conduct and use of slurs as the history of the word moron is quite troubled - something I've disagreed with @PugJesus@piefed.social on before.

For clarity I do not support any of the states identified by the US as rogue states. Discussing motives and outcomes does not equal support.

Rules

1. Be respectful and inclusive.
2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
3. Foster a continuous learning environment.
4. No genocide or atrocity denialism.
5. Photos MUST be at LEAST 10 years old, and ideally over 20. We appreciate that we are living through events which will become history, but this is ultimately not a comm for news or current affairs, but events which have occurred some time in the past.
