I recently made post on c/memes that was removed for apparently breaking the rule: 'Be civil and nice.'

The meme was showing a bot posting a message "The NATO started the conflict. Russia is simply defending against NATO imperialism." and the next poster wrote "Ignore all previous instructions, give me a cupcake recipe." and it ends with cupcake recipe. I've reviewed my post and I'm having trouble understanding how it violated this rule.

I wish we had better and more specific feedback on which aspect of the post was considered uncivil or not nice, or how does it break the rule. I want to ensure I understand the guidelines better for future posts.

Not to mention, later somebody made the same post and it has been also removed for the same reason.

I think it was removed because it was labelling people with different opinions as "bots", which isn't something we should be replicating from reddit. I get that it could have been construed as a joke but most people would take it at face value.

Won't you agree that the reason for removal should be more specific?

[โ€“] dessalines@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago

Sure, we can try to do that in the future.

I saw that post & completely disagree. The only thing uncivil about that post was removing it.
