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.

      Are you actually leftist or are you just a jerk to people online, because those are very different.

      Only you know the truth of your own actions but if the extent of your activism is being a dingleberry online, that ain’t leftism.

          That’s not what was being asked.

          Again, if your “leftism” is just you being a jerk online, that ain’t leftism.

            first of all, no, that’s not my leftism, that’s just the fun I have on top of it.

            and second, the OP was just instance banned by both AN and dbzer0 for badjacketing. if you wanna go that route too, that’s up to you. but you don’t get to waltz in here and tell us who gets to be a leftist any more than they did. it will end the same way for you if you keep it up.

              Lol, youngling a) it’s the internet, you’re free to say what you want about your leftism, only you know the truth. And if the truth is that your leftism mostly only extends to being a jerk online, that’s sad and ain’t leftism.

              B) sorry, no idea what badjacketing is, might spend too much time outside to know?

              C) there is something hysterical about you wandering around calling everyone fascists etc for being the wrong kind of Left but then threatening bans when someone points out that being a leftist requires more than being rude on the internet.

              D) Anywhere you can get banned for pointing out Leftism requires IRL effort, is a sad little place and probably not somewhere worth time.

              E) I still hope things get better for you.
