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.
- You can post about power trippin' in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
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.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
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.

YDI
Why? I didn’t break any rule.
Going all "aaaaachsually..." about an ongoing genocide of which dozens of genocide experts have labeled as genocide, deserves what's coming to you.
Dozens of genocide experts have also denied it being a genocide.
Dozens of experts also denied smoking causes cancer or that climate change is happening. Last waning Btw. Take the genocide denial elsewhere
For those of you who don't know big tobacco pioneered this tactic in corporate context.
Essentially, Israel is knows this is fucked but they also know they can buy off experts, and seed doubt within normie population who still view Israel in positive light. So they will keep doing these dilatory tricks until gen pop turns on them.
By that time genocide will be done and they will play coy about

ADL and AIPAC?
You can click the link and read it yourself.
The discussion is here... You linking neo liberal fake news website from country that is enabling the genocide since early 20th century.
Then you are telling me to go read this trash as some sort of flex?
You gonna need to do better here and yojr behavior is starting to look like bad faith propaganda tactic.
Don't encourage them. This discussion thread ends here
Calling the guardian neo liberal fake news, is certainly a take.
Denying genocide is rule breaking but I still don't think censoring you is proper here.
You should be able to express yourself and people should be able to have a discussion with you. Your arguments rely on assumptions about international order that don't actually exist.
Now that's can't happen which is lose lose.
Show me the rule. My whole argument is that, it’s not legally or scholarly settled if the war in Gaza is a genocide or not.
Go check the sub haha
That's your opinion but in public eyes, this is settled as genocide. You should be able to disagree and argue your point and people should mock you.
Also, you are going into genocide apologia territory now.
I don't need another man explaining to me:
Israel is systematically displacing Palestinian population within Gaza and west bank. That's a a hallmark of a genocide.
But we not hear to argue that, I don't think your opinion should be modded until you clear demonstrated bad faith intent. Which it seems like you would have tbh if given a chance.

But these arguments are getting further into bad faith territory.
