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

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.

Anyone, who doesn’t tread the „destroy Israel“ party line gets banned from [email protected]

Edit: although people here hate Israel and different opinions with a passion, nobody could cite the actual rule I broke.

a distinction without much difference

To you his might not matter. Words, especially legal terms under international law have actual definitions.

If it doesn’t make a difference why ban people?

Because you're playing pedant with people's lives to stroke your own ego and/or prove that you're the smartest one in the room. Meanwhile, people make those same arguments to try to discredit anyone who says the IDF and Netanyahu are killing civilians on purpose, that they're killing women and children with abandon, that they're committing war crimes like they're going for the high score.

Perhaps you don't have malicious intent, but you should at least recognize that you sound like someone with an agenda and haven't conveyed a take that they haven't all made themselves before.

In short, you sound like a shill for war crimes, whether you mean to or not, and you should reflect on why you feel it's important to quibble about the difference between "crimes against humanity" and "genocide." This is not an international courtroom.
