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 (mastodon.social)

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).

[–] lemann@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

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

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.

I would not know exactly in this case. Only that I once noticed somewhat indirectly and unofficailly that some folks on that instance see matters that way.
