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.
I can’t actually see what your [deleted] comments say but even if they were objectionable to their rules in that community, revoking your access to other communities entirely irrelevant to memes@lemmy.ml seems completely PTB.
Especially as you’ve got BrainInTheBox there running rampant, as usual.
IIRC, on lemmy instances, there is no actual “instance-wide ban” feature. to do a ban like that, you have to get banned from all of the communities you’re subscribed to via some scripted tool, so this is how it shows up. this is one of the improvements the platforms like mBin and PieFed have included in their code. apparently, it’s still “coming soon” in Lemmy’s code.
Yes, it is possible abbotsbury copped an instance ban and thus was banned from all lemmy.ml communities they had previously posted to. Note that the weird way instance bans are handled has been solved on Piefed.
I didn’t know Mbin also did it though.
Lemmy 1.0 addresses the issue, when it comes out instance bans on Lemmy will work the same way they do on Piefed now.
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
exactly. as I have never run a lemmy instance, I don’t know what the admin tools look like, but I read someone describe it in a comment here several weeks ago.
Yeah BitB was pretty crazy, seemingly waiting around to reply instantly up and down the thread even when I was replying to others.
