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.

    piefed hides all meme and 4chan communities

    Fake news

    built in image recognition specifically to prevent people from posting greentexts

    Based

    keeps an internal tally of user “quality” based on what communities they post in.

    Fake news.

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

      so have i, it’s in there. again, the filter is not on by default but the preset blocklist includes those communities. and it’s called “reputation” in the code.

          it’s only proof that that specific instance hasn’t enabled the setting to do so.

            That’s the flagship instance. Rimu didn’t block meme communities. You’ve been lied to. If you were right, you’d have evidence.

              But you just linked to a lemmy world community not a piefed one.

              Piefed bans it from being created when the filter is on. It can’t stop or do the image searching if posted on a lemmy instance or if the filter is off.

              Rimu didn’t block meme communities

              He blocks the one he thinks are bad not all of them though

                No, reputation gain from them is blocked. Not the entire community. There are literally local based piefed.social meme communities.

                    That’s more of a specific post restrictions as opposed to communities. But yes, Rimu chose to block a small number of directly 4chan-comms I believe. I think that’s just a manual toggle in that any instance owner could choose to just to block a community.
