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.

    So yes it is what it does by default.

    I didn’t contest the parts about the image detection or greentext (although again, it’s literally just a tickbox). I objected to the claim about “meme and 4chan communities” being blocked. That was the untrue part.

      I’ve only been talking about the image detection though.

          Idk, your standard MO is to deflect and obscure anytime anyone questions why something is or was done the way it is.

            What? I thought you were also claiming, as the other poster that you referred to claimed that by default piefed blocks “meme and 4chan communities”. It does not.

              Just talking about how it blocks some images by default.

              Although can see how others things they’re blocked if the system is designed to push those types of communities
