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.

    antirealist and others have thoughts:

    PTB. The Democrats are better than the Republicans, but the tankies at ml don’t want you to think so. Being a leftist is a bannable offence at the tankie triad.

    I’m a PieFed admin and I’ve read some of the source code, ask Me anything.

    Lemmy donations are a scam. People give them all that money, and they use the money to hire full time developers, who spend all day banning people instead of writing code.

    Hexbear is the number one most right wing Lemmy instance with more than 10 active users. Followed closely by lemmygrad, and then .ml

    Lemmy 1.0 will come out the same day China achieves communism. That’s nearly as far away as the day the Democrats listen to non voters

    ptb thank you for calling out radical liberals like braininabox and desaline

    I have never missed lemmy dot ml. I blocked the instance at the first sign of reddit behavior.

        The Liberals have always believed this. From their perspective, progress manifests only through reform of the institutions. As far as they’re concerned, anyone who takes action on the belief that the existing institutions are irredeemable and beyond reform is an enemy of progress.

        The Sisyphean nature of reform in financialized liberal democracies makes them incredibly defensive and bitter. Their plans for reform have been so thoroughly sidelined by the domination of capital that they are operating on time scales of the Bene Gesserit. In 100 years - as long as they don’t lose a single election along the way - they will have placed the right number of people in the right places to begin reforming the Supreme Court and to initiate some hearings about the possibility of funding research for policy incentivizing private development of clean energy.

        Their lives are dedicated to pushing the bolder one inch further up the hill, and when it inevitably starts tumbling downward they will blame everyone who told them it was going to happen.

    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.

    The fundamental problem with saying X is better than Y is that doing so while not suggesting Z makes it clear you’re advocating for it instead of advocating for something better. It’s probably true that drinking piss is better than eating shit, but why do either instead of drinking water?

    That’s not even getting into the fact that the advocacy here is between childremoved genociders and childremoved genociders. Ultimately the liberal is getting upset that they’re being called out for not giving a fuck about what happens to people who are slightly different to them or outside their economic class, all they care about is their own comfort and their own personal identity issues and they’re willing to toss literally everyone else under the bus for those things.

      This has some meme potential.

      Your Choices:

      [ ] the-republican 💩

      [ ] the-democrat 🍆 💦💦🍺

      and the watercooler is off limits to ALL patriotic citizens 🚰

      any attempt to drink from the watercooler will result in lethal justice top-cop
