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.

      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.

          I don’t think the default filter “hides” all meme communities. That’s just wrong. I don’t think it hides any communities. It just designates “meme communities = low-effort”. That’s it. 4chan@lemmy.world is blocked because rimu manually blocked it, just like how lemmy.world blocked piracy@dbzer0.com.

            It’s not the communities but the material being blocked when images are scanned.

            designates “meme communities = low-effort”

            Seems unnecessary… The more I learn the worse piefed looks

              The original comment was: “piefed hides all meme and 4chan communities”. No it doesn’t.

              Instances can turn it off if they want. Most do. It’s just a little tick-box.

                and enables built in image recognition specifically to prevent people from posting greentexts. it also keeps an internal tally of user “quality” based on what communities they post in.

                So yes it is what it does by default.

                Really hope getting paid to be pr for piefed and rimu

                  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.
