Ban from that community, memes@lemmy.ml:
Rule 1 of said community: Be civil and nice.
Rule 1 of said instance: No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
I was clearly not bigoted in any manner, and I believe more civil than the way I was treated, was it the Code of Conduct? Excerpts:
Please be kind and courteous. There’s no need to be mean or rude.
Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every design or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom a right answer.
I think I was kind with the people I disagreed with, even if they could not be in return, yet those comments (some including ableist slurs) remain. I think this is enough to demonstrate it is merely a difference in ideology which motivated the ban. Well, bans, because it seems they copied and pasted the same ban in all the communities they have access to:
It's not a general lemmy.ml ban, just those in particular.
I understand this kind of behavior in safe space communities that don't want outsiders bellyaching about the pragmatism of electoral politics, but that's not the case in any of the communities I've been banned from, nor is it a part of the instance rules or CoC.
PTB or triggered shitlib? Not an exclusive or, of course.
SMH at people getting so worked up about voting for their favorite flavor of Fascism every 2-4 years. Go do your oval filling ritual but don't pretend like you're making a difference.
It really doesn't do shit outside of local shit like levys or laws. But even then you are probably putting in a lot of effort to keep something going correctly then making anything better.
We had to do this to save our local parks and libraries. Was about a two year affair. And all we accomplished was keeping what we had. Important of course but it shouldn't of been a problem and honestly the fuckers trying to do it should of been given a nastier treatment. Would of saved a lot of time and heartache.
