Abbreviate is a synonym of shorten so your creating a difference where no difference stands. At least I, as a non English speaker, don’t see the difference so either the rule is badly written (since I can’t understand it) or makes no sense at all. In both cases the rule and the mod applying it are not working towards a betterment of the instance.
So why is this being implemented?
This story is a clusterfuck and it’s not helpful in developing a better environment here on lemmy.
I’m sorry for your ban, I hope lemmy will federate a better news instance and that we could have meaningful discussions about actual topics and not the satire about a power hungry mod and his community.
Best of luck brother, keep lemmy great!!
