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.


Relevant comms

Then removes the post itself for "misinfo".

Suffice to say I think @[email protected] was just salty that I posted something that was not praising Russia, idfk what they were thinking.

What do you think, is me telling a regular that they're not prescient, banworthy "chauvinism"? Power trippin' bastard or nah?

Should we use the acronyms here too? NTA, YTA, ESH, NAH?

If yes: N[ot] T[he] A[rsehole].

I wouldn't be surprised if the thought process of whoever banned you was like, "NATO bad. NATO fights Russia, so Russia good. Russia good, so Russia wins. If you say Russia might not win, you think Russia bad. "

Because it's how the cookie crumbles in .ml: always oversimplifying complex matters and conflating predictions (what you did) with prescriptions (what could be called "chauvinism").

The fact that it's a 30d ban is also relevant. Not just because your post is almost 30d old; but because, outside very specific situations, it's a sign of powertripping.

N[ot] T[he] A[rsehole]

I'd rather make our own acronyms to fit this community.

I dig it

But maybe better as PTB - Power Trippin Bastard

Got it.

I love the idea behind the community, by the way. I could see myself using it from all the sides - as a mod, as a user who had an issue with a mod, or as someone just chiming in.
