You’re spitting venom about a horse who seems to be really well taken care of. That is a huge barn, a sizeable paddock and he even has a nicer shirt than I do.
It’s a community for posting pictures. No one wants to deal with your blatant negativity, scathing sarcasm and extremist views.
Ban justified.
Meh read the room. This is basically someone sharing a picture of their domesticated pet and you chose to inject an unsolicited position you knew would be controversial. That’s what we call being edgy, and it’s widely regarded as annoying.
Talk about an ironic username. YDI for going into a thread and immediately being accusatory and hostile towards others. This sort of behaviour would be unwelcome in most communities regardless of being on .world or not. If you had phrased things in a different, less hostile way (perhaps “I do not feel comfortable seeing horses in captivity”) then you likely wouldn’t have faced serious backlash or moderator action.
Regardless of what your beliefs are and how strongly you feel about them, being a hostile jerk will get you booted pretty fast from almost any community and it’s best to refrain from doing so if you actually want anyone to listen.

The user refusing to engage is the same as a slaveowner refusing to talk about the harms slavery causes.
I agree with last point at least.
I feel like there was a bit of escalation on your end here
I did not name call or curse but the 2 commenters have.
But you did jump right into China comparisons. It’s not too far off from Godwin’s law.
Because it is a fair comparison to the situation.
It seems to me like it’s about as fair of a comparison as saying “having a dog when you only have an apartment is like slavery”.
If you would have commented on the unfortunate nature of our society pigeon holing people and their pets into these predicaments instead of being accusatory I don’t think it would have spiraled as much.
So, let’s get this straight, you went into a thread, harassed and insulted someone , and you think that’s okay?
Nah, not only did YDI, YTA. A giant, gaping, post gangbang A.
Ban evasion so you can continue your triad against another user for their completely innocuous post definitely justifies a permanent ban from that single community.
I agree with that other user, go touch grass. You can use that time to do a lot more for animal rights than arguing with random Lemmy users ever will.
I don’t think this is a Lemmy world issue. I think on many instances you would also see the same behavior. Somebody sharing something genuinely, innocently, and it’s being leveraged and twisted into a political moment. That discourages people from sharing.
innocently, and it’s being leveraged and twisted into a political moment.
How can you call this innocent when horseback riding harms the horse.
Innocent from the perspective of the person who is sharing. They intended no harm, they did not want to get involved in somebody else’s agenda.
You clearly view the photograph in a different context, and you see harm. That’s fine, but if you’re going to bring that context into other people’s communities, you have to realize moderators may not want every person to be held to your standards. Hence the banning
Libs are right wing. They have zero interest in total liberation, etc.
Typical LW carnist apologia. “Theprogressivist”? What a clown.
many leftists turn their brains right off as soon as animals are concerned. never fails.
I reported the rude comment that included the cursing and name calling but then shockingly I get hit with the ban while that stays up… followed by more uncivil modlog comments with one making a baseless accusation that I’m ban evading despite the fact I have never been banned from this community before.

I thought Lemmy.World allowed discourse on communities, so that they can avoid one narrative dominating the conversation.
So its okay for carnists to attack the vegan philosophy on their communities but not okay for vegans to do the same on carnist communities. The hypocrisy on Lemmy.World is astounding. The 3 big tankie instances are very problematic in their own ways but at-least they’re are not blatantly biased towards this topic.
I think there’s a decent chance you could have made your point in a respectful way and in moderation and only gotten downvotes and words for it.
The replies were not respectful.
