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.
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.

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.
Yep. c/politics on .world is NOT neutral in any shape or form. Before the election, not only did I say that I was going to vote for a third party, but that third party is Socialist Workers Party. The SWP is also pro Israel (tho I'm neutral on that part---I'm all about their pro-union stance).
I STILL have people from .world stalking me, tracking me, and trying to get me banned from other instances. Even tho the election is over now and the drama was months ago. lmao
.world will absolutely fucking ban you for not agreeing with them. Lemmy, in general is quick to ban/block anyone who disagrees with them, but .world is especially pro-censorship.
The active suppression of discourse on Lemmy is astounding. The instances and communities are small, but often ruled with an iron fist.
I was the second most active poster in a community with half a dozen regular commenters. The mod got so butthurt over a minor disagreement at some point, he banned half the community members. Now he’s posting alone.
I‘ve seen this happen. Someone was banned from feddit.org as well for a mild pro Israel post on .world.
I'm trying dude. But I also don't want SJW to be a server that has anything to do with politics, so there's only so much I can do.
All I would say is that it's much better to have leftist political extremists controlling the discourse rather than than alt right psychos. Ideally the discussion would be more diverse and open minded, but with the tiny userbase that's not really an option yet.
Your best bet is to avoid discussing the Palestinian conflict entirely. Nothing that we say on Lemmy is going to change what happens IRL anyway.
The chilling effect is real.
This is Lemmy. IRL Israel is doing whatever they want anyway. It seems apparent that the chilling effect doesn't affect them whatsoever.
This isn't a court of law, it's simply practical advice about how to act on Lemmy so that the platform can grow and succeed. Sometimes you lose the battle but win the war.
I don’t think a platform that promotes antisemitism to a wide audience is worth growing.
Okay... first of all, opposition to the Israeli actions in Palestine is not equivalent to antisemitism. That's just a fact.
People who are antisemitic are definitely going to take that position, but most people take that position for completely different reasons.
Secondly, the growth of the platform will inherently change the nature of the discourse. If we get tens of thousands more users over here, the conversation will change drastically. That's why starting from a position that challenges the dominant mainstream discourse is an advantage for Lemmy, because that position is guaranteed to be diluted as we grow.
Obviously not. Demonization, delegitimization, and calling for the destruction of the only Jewish state is antisemitic though.
Wait, so how come that [email protected] is basically the recommendation for people wanting an alternative to [email protected]? Are you admins unhappy with having that community on your instance?
I wasn't aware of that, but that's fine. The mods must be doing a good job because I never see reports from that community. I just want to make sure sh.it keeps working, and getting overtly political has a tendency to cause problems.
Cheers to @[email protected] and @[email protected] I guess!
I don't think we get much credit for that part, tbh. It's a US based politics community. Thanks anyway though.
