This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

Interesting to see people who argue for free speech but also are against it.
Where did you get the idea we were "freeze peach"? I'm certainly not, nor are most people here. Most of us very firmly believe in the idea that certain types of speech is absolutely unacceptable, after all when the intolerant are tolerated, tolerance dies.
I don't know where you got the idea that we're free speech advocates or how you thought that was at all relevant to this discussion. FYI most Lemmy instances aren't free speech advocates, and do firmly believe in moderation of unacceptable speech, which does often includes tolling, disinformation, and bigotry (including homophobia, transphobia, racism, ableism, etc.).
Maybe it's probably a good idea not to make such assumptions about people or places, since you end up making an ass out of yourself when you do, and potentially exposing your beliefs when you might not want to.

Guys definitely trolling or not right. Straight up agreed that Linux is probably mentioned too often but given this sites origins, it shouldn’t be surprising a lot of people advocate for it here. @[email protected] banned me for it. Sad guy.
Edit: Bizarrely enough the guy used to comment in Linux communities. Including, ironic enough, a comment shitting on a distro for being “new user friendly” but not really much easier to use. I guess when their takes were met with disagreement they decided yelling into the void and banning dissenters was a better option.
I guess he was under the impression that if he ran a community he could make posts and not get as heavily downvoted for his bad takes as he did in the linux communities. Doesn't seem to be working out for him, his posts are still heavily downvoted despite him banning anyone who disagrees with him in comments. He hasn't gotten any support for it from others, the only other person besides him who posted in that community is a person who seems to actually support linux,
