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.
Yup. If two rapists walk up to me and tell me to choose between them, I’m choosing the one who will give me medical care, education, improved economy for the working class instead of investing class, public infrastructure, nature preservation, and a tease of corporate regulations instead of the one who will empty my wallet and return nothing. Either way we’re getting fucked, may as well get fucked like an old housewife instead of a slave.
The problem is that neither made a convincing case that they were interested in doing any of that.
We get minor improvements to everything I listed when Democrat terrorists are in office, Republicans destroy existing policies for everything I listed every time they get power. Nature preservation alone makes the Democrats a million times better of an option, we are fucking the planet exponentially less with them in office, this is a fact.
So their apologists keep saying to people who are suffering. Rejoice! Prescription drug prices are down! (For 10 drugs! Available only to boomers on Medicare!) What do you mean you can’t afford groceries?! Have you seen how great Bezos is doing? The economy is great, now shut up!
Genocide always gets the front seat at the trough. Where you want it. And netanyahu didn’t have to listen to excuses about how everything was slightly better for billionaires so he should be happy.
Here’s a thought. Throw the rapists out and elect somebody who isn’t a rapist, you fucking weirdos.
Yeah,you are right, but we don’t get there without passing through the “friendly.housewife rapist” first, so we can at least get back to a “normal” level.
Oh yeah I’m sorry I guess I just imagined that literally every single government on the planet is assisting the pedo ring run by my elected pedo rulers. You’re literally acting like an American rn… even demonstrating the same levels of willful ignorance and blind ego as the most red of Maga. Congratulations you’re more American than 1/2 of their own population!
I like how you’re doing your best to make giving up and deciding that you’re just going to have to pick between pedos from now on seem like the smart choice. That’s pretty disgusting, not gonna lie. And worst of all, you don’t seem all that bothered by it.
