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.

@[email protected] Just curious, What's your opinion on this situation with this user, both considering that they posted what they posted, but also that they came here to complain afterwards, and given their extensive history.

YDI, the article was about the use of human shields and in addition to that, you have also have been spouting a lot of pro-Israel bullshit when they are currently participating in a genocide. Also blatantly encouraging violence. Doesn't look good on you, this is a classic case of bellyaching over being censored for encouragement of violence. In all honesty probably should've been a permanent ban, might end up becoming one since you decided to go and post shit here.

Context OP chose not to show, which displays blatant pro-israel sentiment:

As well as one of their statements encouraging violence:

They know. They support Israel

they slash our tires. We use their bodies as replacement for tires. I don't see how we are being inhumane????

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

WTF did they actually say that? I didn't see that in the modlog, jeez that's messed up...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh look. Another asshole crying victim when they're being treated for the asshole they are.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think they misunderstand the purpose of the community, it's a community meant to discuss power tripping bastards, not assholes who are censored rightfully or should've gotten off with a lot more than a slap on the wrist. In other words, there's no power tripping, in fact I'd say this mod was a little too easy on them giving them a 9 day vacation instead of kicking them out for good.

I've seen a lot of OPs comments. Going easy is an understatement.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, it's really bad. Mods definitely are not being as harsh as they should given OP's current history and past behavior.

???

Making up shit? How isn't it exactly what you wrote?

You literally are defending the use of human shields.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They defend Israel constantly. I wouldn't waste your time, but if you're going to I want you to at least know what you are getting into

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean... He was literally defending using human people as mine detectors.

I realized what scum I was responding to, just wanted to make it clear what he was saying to people who weren't really paying attention to the posts he made

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I tag these shit heads in a catch and release program. That way I can at least warn others when I see them

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Fair enough

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You didn't even say it was bad to use human shields at any point. Now I don't think you should be banned for it but it says a lot about your ethical standards and what it says is not good.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

They constantly defend Israel. They know what they are doing

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Absolutely! I just imagine that people want to be morally and intellectually consistent, so I think it's important to point out when they are not.

Of course maybe they think Hamas using "human shields" is fine too? Doubt it but at least that wouldn't be hypocritical

I don't think they'll want him either, unless they're pro israel and support violence against others. In which case probably shouldn't be giving them attention.

@[email protected] What's your opinion on this? Do you think this person would be a good fit in your news community? The OP I mean, what with their behavior of promoting violence and apologia towards Israel's actions.
