Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
No AI generated content.

How about stop doing the easy things?
There's nothing wrong with encouraging others to be better versions of themselves. The problem is many people aren't capable of doing so without being toxic AF.
No improving the current system allowed!
Perfectly summarized.
But doing nothing wrong is the greatest right you can do, no?
Perfect is the enemy of progress
Doing nothing wrong is doing nothing, period.
Guess we know where you sit on the Trolley Problem spectrum :P
Great now we get to argue what nothing and something is…
Can we stop attacking each other? They are working the "divide and conquer" from every angle, can we not create yet another division within a group of people that agree with each other?
Democrats and liberals are doing the dividing themselves every time they attack people further left of them for daring to actually have principles.
So no, you can’t stop.
Well put.
I believe it's actually the opposite. So many extremists or "I don’t agree with you therefore you’re a troll" bullshit.
You get censored and banned for pretty much anything. Lemmy is no exception and pretty obviously like that.
I've said some vile, fucked up shit while I'm having a bipolar depressive episode, but I have yet to get modded for a single thing.
You can basically say whatever the fuck you want, like 4chan. But unlike 4chan, Lemmy hasn't yet devolved into a cesspool of hate and bigotry. Probably only 'cause the average troll is too stupid to figure out how federation works.

Seeing as I have not been banned for anything I have to disagree.
It really depends on the community and the mods awake at the time.
One of my accounts got a week ban from a larger community for being "accusatory". Because I said someone sounded like they were spreading misinformation.
