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
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin' in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
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.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

This is the most winnable election of the entire history of elections. Liberal versus fascist, very clear choice. But no, she and Biden made a conscious decision to defend and support a genocide. Why are you blaming me, a person with very little agency in the US elections, for ruining the Dem's chances of winning, when it is Harris and Biden themselves are sabotaging their campaign? You're barking up the wrong tree mate. You could get mad at Harris, you could get mad at Trumpists and Republicans, but nooooooooooo. It's the scary yet ineffectual anarchist everyone must speak against.
And they are free to speak their minds all over Lemmy. Pray tell why they are entitled to anarchist spaces for their anti-anarchism? Note that their crass and disgusting ideological cover for genocide wasn't even removed from c/not_voting.

Notice that there has been a historical level of USA investment in isreal. This year, when isreal decided to paint a target on themselves, it gave the USA a choice of tripling down or lose a significant level of force projection in the middle east. Losing that would ALSO sabotage the democrats campaign. The USA as a cultural whole is responsible for genocides in all the regions it has dumped money into. Maintaining the institution of the US is integral to the security and wellbeing of many people that live outside the USA.
it is NOT anti-anarchism to point out that geopolitics is a series of hostage situations, which several people are trying to convey to you.
YOU ARE in a position of power, and i'm mad at YOU because you are using that power in an irresponsible way. YOU have put moral responsibility on the hostages.
Oh so you're an imperialist apologist. Opinion discarded.
While I agree that the sentence is imperialist apologia, I disagree with this approach. There's something to be learned from everything, especially when there's much mroe than what you're focusing on.
