1. I called a corpse a corpse (post contains multiple pictures of chests of multiple animals)
  2. Get called loud, obnoxious and ridiculous
  3. User types 380+ words on why my view is ridiculous (see linked post for more of their comments, my only two comments are in the image)
  4. I replied in an annoyed tone but did not use insults
  5. I am banned for “rule 1, be kind”

Post (TW: animal corpses): https://lemmy.world/post/45494863/23173926

Note: “the rules of this site” in my comment refer to rule 6 of lemmy.world which states:

No visual content depicting executions, murder, suicide, dismemberment, visible innards, excessive gore, or charred bodies. No content depicting, promoting or enabling animal abuse.

    This is YDI.

    Not for calling a dead thing a corpse, but because of your second comment.

    When a community has a kindness/civility rule, we’re all expected to follow it, no matter how strong our beliefs.

    And, tbh, even if a community doesn’t have a listed rule for civility, it really should be the default behavior anyway. Not that I can claim to always err on the side of niceness, gods know I’m an asshole. But when I’m an asshole and I get banned, I deserved it.

    Civility isn’t just not insulting someone. It’s about trying to remember the human.

    However! Had I been the mod in question, I’d also have banned the other user for being an asshole to you in the first place.
