the fact that @lemmy bans you tells you everything you need to know about it as a platform. I didn’t want to be accusatory when I thought my comments were being deleted but it seems that they were.

    Which instance? What account name? Modlog link, or timestamp?

    Anyone can set up a lemmy instance, and instance admins have the freedom to ban whoever they like for any reason, after all they are literally paying for your privillege to post on their server IMO

      In the modlog it is visible that OP used the word “Dumbasses” and on lemmy.ml that (I suspect) is considered an ableism (they refer to their Rule 1, so that is the only plausible thing I can think of).

        The community itself has a separate rule 1 which would probably explain the ban

        1. Be civil and nice.

        A ban is a bit overkill IMO in either case, but can’t see the full thread context because of a bug in the web UI

        I’m guessing quite a few users reported the comment since it was posted 3 days ago, since the ban enacted 20 hours ago is a full instance ban instead of just a community ban…

        I don’t mind inclusionary language, but if calling someone dumb is now supposed to be ableism, what insults are left? What the fuck is ableism even supposed to mean at that point, just newspeak? That’s fucking doubleplusungood.
