@MrKaplan@lemmy.world has decided that one can only say nice things about the company or else you’re a troll despite having years long legitimate user history. No rules were broken, only @MrKaplan@piefed.world’s feelings. Furthermore I wasn’t even the one to call them “and shitlibs” (The FHF is, I just didn’t say it) - yet @MrKaplan@piefed.world has decided we both should get instance banned for this.

Good to know that Lemmy.world and the Fedihosting Foundation will tolerate StoneToss and Jago but draw the line at their company being called, a real unofficial rule being enforced on multiple users now.

And Hi @mrkaplan@discuss.online, I know you’re watching these threads now :) I made this for you

Edit:

They’ve updated the ban, I’m now banned for stuff I did after being instance banned and not even visible from their instance.

Nice to know you enjoy my FHF meme MrKaplan!

    Great example of why “trolling” should not be against the rules. It’s way too subjective and ends up getting abused nine times out of ten. Most people banned for trolling are just being kinda rude or flippant, particularly when it has a political slant the mod doesn’t like. If you want to maintain a strict community where politeness is heavily enforced then so be it. But I haven’t seen such a community. Instead it’s just a cudgel to ban the mod’s political adversaries.

    But yeah if this is an accurate representation of the events then obviously PTB.

      Yep, I’ve been called a bad faith troll since I got on Lemmy 2 years ago. Even tho I have never ever changed my mind or what I post about. In two fucking years and hundreds of posts. lol

      Maybe Lemmy should accept that some people just have their own opinions, and that it’s not “trolling.”
