  • ¯\_(ツ)_/¯*

    Also, this specific example isn’t ASCII art, it’s some other encoding which I forgot the name of, Japanese characters, variable width (in bytes). Common for it to be drawn using Arial or a metric compatible font rather than any monospace.

    Note that “ASCII” art also refers to 8-bit extensions of the encoding, where “oldskool ASCII art” means strictly the actual 7-bit set. Not to be confused with ANSI art, which is the same as ASCII but with ANSI control characters, like for changing color.

    “text art” is what I usually call everything combined, including art on the Commodore systems, only very recently made possible with Unicode officially. Anyways, I don’t really see any of it on the image…

    "legality is not a guideline to morality" sign

    This has little to do with autism and more with being smart. No, seriously.

    From the English Wikipedia, stages of moral development:

    1. Obedience and punishment orientation (‘‘How can I avoid punishment?’’)
    2. Self-interest orientation (‘‘What’s in it for me?’’) (‘‘Paying for a benefit’’)
    3. Interpersonal accord and conformity (‘‘Social norms’’) (‘‘The good boy/girl attitude’’)
    4. Authority and social-order maintaining orientation (‘‘Law and order morality’’)
    5. Social contract orientation
    6. Universal ethical principles (‘‘Principled conscience’’)

    1 and 2 are “Level 1 (Pre-Conventional)” (according to the same article, children and animals have this), 3 and 4 are “Level 2 (Conventional)”, 5 and 6 are “Level 3 (Post-Conventional)”.

    The last one is basically thinking around “what if everyone did that?”. Unfortunately, lots of people are at either stage 2 or 4. Sometimes downgrading from 4 to 2 once they become the authority.

    FAQ

    What does this mean?

    The social credit score on your post and Piefed account has been decreased by one.

    Why did you do this?

    There are several reasons I may deem a post to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

    Rudeness towards other Lemmings, Spreading incorrect information, Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

    Am I banned from Piefed?

    No - not yet. But you should refrain from making posts like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

    I don’t believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

    Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Lemmy PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

    How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

    Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on piefed.zip. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Piefed is privilege, not a right.
