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.
this, if only a fraction of progressive people would hit the primaries, the entire democratic party would change. not in a slow reformist kind of way. but as in a radical change like they had when Republicans and Democrats switched sides.
the media doesn't want that. the state doesn't want that. but we absolutely need it.
...the primary rules, retroactively.
What does it really matter if they can just use superdelegates anyway or have half the race drop out and endorse the annointed candidate.
I think superdelegates are only for presidential primaries.
for every other candidate there aren't superdelegates. and every elected officials that isn't bought be AIPAC counts.
Yeah I am talking about the presidential election
that isn't the only election that matters, focus on the rest
Cool good talk
