How about a list of common ban/removal reasons from the modlog. Like uncivil/civility; misogynistic/misogyny; fascist/fascism; transphobe/transphobic; liberal/liberalism; tankie/communist; you’re a bot/AI/LLM; you get the gist; advertising/spam/spammer/shill; troll/bad actor/state actor; call to violence/antisocial/illegal

Those were just from the top of my head :p

Speaking in general, the main difference I have observed is that the “liberal” instances aka Piefed, LW and the large colonial-power-aligned instances, seem to have decided being federated with any leftist instances who challenge state-backed narratives is legally/politically problematic for them. No wonder, since leftism is becoming increasingly criminalized in the west. There has been a sustained campaign to paint anyone left of the Democrats as an “extremist” and to try to isolate us as much as possible. Previously, I’d say most of the political agitation on Lemmy came from leftists. Now, it seems to be mostly coming from anti-antifa crowd, aka the far right.

For this ban in particular though, I think this was a clear case of PTB. Wren is about as reasonable a user as I have come across on Lemmy.

It was because of capitalism though, right? /s

No, but it’s not helping either.

I guess our brains are wired differently, but I’ll take your word for it!

Yikes I had no idea. And I thought his only crime was those pants :p

Found the primitivist.

You wouldn’t be saying that if you were getting regular death and rape threats simply for posting locally generated genAI images in a genAI community.

Think of the starving rent-seekers?

What?

Please do, it will save us a lot of moderation effort in dealing with anti-ai trolls.

It’s a prima facie case, so it doesn’t need a complex rebuttal. You are just sealioning. While your point is a popular refrain for euro-centric ancaps, it holds no weight here.

Making a copy of something isn’t stealing. Full stop.

“microblogtard” is just the r-slur with a hat on. Please don’t use ableist slurs when regular ones will do.

You have a legit point here. Mystic really shouldn’t be banning people from c/Europe on the basis of anti-genAI sentiment, even if there was evidence of such. I cautioned Mystic against doing that already, but as a mod there’s no easy way to ban from only a subset of your communities without a lot of manual work, so it’s really a side effect of the fact lemmy itself doesn’t expose an easy way to ban selectively. Which is, I agree, unfortunate.

People in glass houses and all that…

After 25 years at Adobe, he deserves a far worse fate.

Who would find this meme objectionable?

I find it really difficult to understand why that isn’t obvious to someone claiming to be an anarchist.

Whoa there, tiger. It is obvious. You don’t need to throw definitions at me.

I am not both siding anything. Please do not misrepresent what I said in such a crass way.

Begging your pardon your majesty. But that’s what it looks like from over here.
