I think it’s time to try a new tactic. Since clearly this court is only interested in hearing cases and issuing rulings for Christian evangelicals, someone needs to bring a suit arguing that their religious liberties were violated when they were forced to take a loan with interest to pay for education. Usury is a sin, both the old and new testaments speak against it, Luke writes that lenders should give with no expectation of profit or return. Paying back this loan would violate closely held religious beliefs, clearly.
I think this must be something with Lemmy itself. If I try to change the home instance of the anonymous account the issue stops. I’m guessing this is actually some weird quirk of how federation works based on my normal home instance that just is a little unintuitive.
