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.

Using your mod powers to decide who is allowed and not allowed to speak is not very anarchist of you, @mambabasa@slrpnk.net

She literally advocated for one of the two viable candidates...

She didn't quite say that. She said, both are bad but one is unequivocally a catastrophic danger to the entire world, with probably permanent destructive consequences to an already-dire situation.

Then someone else turned that around into a really good reason not to vote, somehow.

Then when people said that makes no sense at all, people like your parent comment came in and tried to say talking about voting has suddenly become off-topic.

Right, but contextually, knowing what we publicly know about Greta Thunberg, by stating that it's "probably impossible to overstate the consequences" of the election and further saying "Trump - is way more dangerous than the other," she's very clearly advocating for a certain candidate.

Regardless, I'm in agreement with you. She very clearly endorsed voting plus action.
