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.

I said something along the lines of:

"Wow, I haven't had a reason to smile ear to ear in a while."

Along with

"Nah, the more dead ~~corpos~~ dragons, the better."

In response to some liberal going off about how violence is never the solution, not mentioning how this murdered dipshit has personally overseen a system that perpetuates harm, suffering and death (violence) in the name of profit.

...

Good ole' civility clause.

Whats the paradox of tolerance?

.world mods have never heard of it I guess.

Paradox of tolerance? Are insurance companies on lemmy defending letting people die?

I’m honestly shocked my own comment didn’t get deleted. When I saw how many were being nuked, I had to chime in. I guess they missed it in the chaos.

You can appreciate something without celebrating it.

Bans on any Lemmy instance are stupid because nobody gives a fuck about this place. This is just 4Chan for milquetoast nerds

"4chan for milquetoast nerds" is so true that it hurts.

I do think that we should give a fuck about Lemmy instance bans though. Social media shapes the views of people; and those bans dictate who can say it and what can be said, so they'll shape those views in a specific way.

I looked at the logs myself, and it absolutely was power tripping. Jury nullification discussion isn't even illegal for fucks sake.

The policy is happening at the lemmy.world level, not the individual mod level.

It's right there in the Terms of Service (which nobody actually ever reads):

https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

"1. Attacks on users or groupsΒ 

Before using the website, remember you will be interacting with actual, real people and communities. Lemmy.World is not a place for you to attack other people or groups of people. Just because you disagree with someone doesn't give you the right to harass them. Discuss ideas and be critical of principles. Show the respect you desire to receive.

We do not tolerate threats of and calls for violence in any form against any living creature."

We faced the same problem in the Politics community when Henry Kissinger died.

Oh, you can fuck right off with that bullshit. I'm going to go swat the fly buzzing around in my kitchen and I hope that others will join me in swatting flies and even squishing ants in our houses.

...See what an idiotic policy that is?

Policy isn't the problem, it's the biased and overzealous enforcement.

I can't see which mod is doing it in the modlog, but just a quick glance found 5 removed comments that don't break any (visible) rules.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

You ever notice that you only circle the wagons to defend the worst? Always seem to go out of your way to do it too. I don't see any threats in that picture. Nothing that even could be reasonably called a threat. Yet up pops Jordan to save the day. Almost like clockwork.

Calls for violence? Like the 3,473 daily posts about guillotining billionaires?

Any way, I'm glad he's dead.
