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.

Personally, I think I've been banned for supporting a politician that the mods don't like, and their policies. What does Ye Power Trippin' Bastards think? My Mod logs: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=10495266.

Honestly, it's hard to not make fun of your opponents when they lose. We do it everywhere. Like in sports. I guess you're right though. Considering the tense nature of the community, I shouldn't have let the urges get the better of me. Thanks for the reply.

Oh gosh, it's SO hard not to kick people when they're down. So glad to hear such an untoxic sentiment from such a good sportsman.

I suppose you have never made fun of anyone in your entire life?

[–] Susaga 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm making fun of you right now. I just don't think losing is something worthy of ridicule.

Humans also murder each other all the time. Doesn't mean they should.

I feel that, though sport is kinda in the name, and playful banter makes sense. When we get into politics and laws, people's futures, there's more on the table than just teams. Nobody is worrying about their children and family members when a sports team gets thrashed.

And of course, you deserve proper input and not the same hurled right back.

Counterpoint: if you put toxic bullshit out into the world, don't cry "they're picking on me" when you get toxic bullshit directed back at you.

Agreed 100%, I just wanted to take the opportunity to explain a simple concept that their parents may have never given them.
