We generally don't consider something to be bigotry if it is directed at an ideology or behavior that people can control. Ability or disability, gender, religious/ethnic background, race, age, nationality, etc. are all factors that are beyond an individual's control.
Hate to Godwin this thread, but does that mean you can't attack Nazis as a group on lemmy.ml?
Of course not. They apply their rules subjectively.
For instance I got rule 1’d for saying “Fuck China” but I bet you, you wouldn’t get banned for saying “Fuck America” or “Fuck Israel” (fuck ‘em all imo).
If you have evidence of abuse and selective enforcement of the rules, show it in order to allow the admins to act on it.
Don't just lash out, document the exchange. Keep a record of the favouritism.
