Fediverse

If anyone wants to know why this user was banned.

It looks like you were temp banned from the linux community for 3 days

The comment you made was transphobia which goes against the programming.dev code of conduct. I suggest reading the comment of the user who replied to you and learning how to respect people more

This comment

does not qualify as a "respectful conversations where no one is insulting each other, or anyone else"

Refusing to treat people with the barest minimum of respect is not a "personal opinion", it's behavior that no space should tolerate.

Okay you're being a bigot. You know why? Because people aren't demanding to be called "your highness". They are just asking to be called with their preferred probouns. Putting neo pronouns aside, it's not a heavy burden to be called he / she / it / they.

And this is the internet! The are no bodies, only usernames. Why do you care if a person claiming to be a girl demands to be called a she? Oh my fucking god,what a scandal! The oppression imposed upon you, a free citizen, demanding that you have to use a pronoun different than "he" on the internet! The world is doomed! 😱 /s

What you're really asking for is the "right" to harass trans people (by misgendering them) because you don't like them and abhor the idea of women having something extra down there. (it's not like they're plotting to force sex you, just leave them be, okay?) Not only that, you're so obsessed with hating them that you went out of your way to post your biased opinion ON A LINUX FORUM.

You're being a transphobic asshole, and the mods were perfectly right in banning you.

Just accept that there are different people in the world. If you have a problem with that, maybe it's you who needs professional help.

Generally, and I can only speak for myself, but GENERALLY, the way it works is someone takes offense at your comment and reports it.

That report goes to the mods of that community along with the Admins of your instance, in your case programming.dev.

Any action taken by the mods or admins is then recorded in the modlog.

In your case, you got a 3 day ban:

https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=7110660

"Rule 1 - No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct."

And, yeah, your comment hits that rule. I would have removed it from my communities as well.

Ban-worthy? Not for a single comment for ME at least. If it looked like you were engaging in a pattern of behavior or trolling, then yeah, that's a ban.

I wasn't even trying to be hurtful

Next time try to not be hurtful. Internalize the difference.

we should be able to have sane and respectful conversations

I agree but then some folks come along and fuck it up.

So to all the mods out there: Your personal opiniondoes not give you the right to delete comments and block users, just because their opinions don't align with yours!

Absolutely it does. Their sub; their rules. Lemmy is not a democracy.

Why do you think it's absurd to use proper pronouns? No it's not absurd, it's just being a decent human being.

Just in case the mod responsible is here in the room with us, just wanted to say thank you.

we should be able to have sane and respectful conversations where no one is insulting each other, or anyone else

Why should we?

Your personal opinion does not give you the right to delete comments and block users, just because their opinions don't align with yours!

Actually it does. Just like IRC, the fediverse is not a democracy, it's a dictatorship. As a user, you have no rights at all. You're offered the privilege of being permitted to connect and participate. Don't like it? Nobody cares. Go start your own server/network/whatever.

lol. The disconnect.

sorry buddy but you did transphobia. whether or not you are in the mood to label it as such that’s what it was.

i have beef with power tripping mods as much as you but this is in no way an example of that.

edit: also it was a three day ban? i have seen folks permabanned for similar. be thankful you are allowed to return, look inwards and do some self examination instead of complaining.

Welcome to my block list. I guess I'm power tripping.

I shared my personal opinion about the whole gender stuff.

Keep your shitty opinions that don't concern others to yourself. Seems like people are not interested
