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.

So much for "freedom of speech", unless you're rich or a CEO i guess...

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The First Amendment right to freedom of speech in the USA applies to the relationship between citizens and the government's authority. Lemmy servers are not the US government, and Lemmy users must abide by the Terms of Service on the Lemmy servers they use.

It's that simple.

You still have the freedom to create your own server and host whatever content you want on there. Lemmy is open source I believe so you can go right ahead and federate your own free speech.

Side note, I'm not saying this to defend health insurance crooks. I'm currently dealing with several insurance problems with denied coverage myself. We can all see the motive of that hooded man clearly.

And the problem currently under discussion is that OP did not break any of the ToS, but was banned anyway for saying something the admins disagreed with.

That’s not what the top comment in this thread was discussing at all. There’s no rights to freedom of speech on lemmy.

Everyone gets that part. The relation to "freedom of speech" is what, then?

I dont think you wouldnt be banned if you celebrated anyone elses murder

The problem with the bans is that most users think the murder of someone who caused people so much pain is justified, while the mod believed that celebrating murder is wrong. It wasnt about the money

I wasn’t aware lemmy was the government.
