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.


Some acronyms you might see.

Mod Log.

My post got removed despite it being from a reliable source (Ukrayinska Pravda- Media Bias/ Fact check.)

I am not looking to participate in a community where mods remove posts based on their feelings about the source, there needs to be a proof to the mod claim.

Why did my post got removed in this case?

How is the source unreliable, what is the mod proof for that?

What C/ was it on?

Can't see it in the mod log because the post was removed.

Edit: blaze hooked me up with the C/ it was on.

I have no clue what they were thinking. It's a fact based article, with easily verifiable facts. It shouldn't matter where it comes from, based on the C/ rules as listed. As you said, the source itself is reliable enough to not be a legit basis for removal in that regard.

Assuming it wasn't a mistake (and mods can just screw up rather than having removed something intentionally, like clicking on the wrong thing), that's some power tripping for sure.

That was a good faith, legit post.

This is why people are pushing to ban the media bias bot it makes censorship uncomfortable.
