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.

From what I've seen FlyingSquid tends to be quite fair when moderating, doesn't abuse the mod tools and is quite respectful and civil outside of the mod role. On occasion I've had disagreements and civil arguments with squid, and not once has the hammer been used as a conversation-ending argument.

Jordan however....

I've asked people over and over for a single example of FlyingSquid doing this. Only one person has responded, and that was with an "example" where neither the argument with FlyingSquid nor FlyingSquid being the one that banned them was truthful. This is one of the reasons I think this is a deliberate attempt to start destructive rumors about him.

Edit: Someone else has now given an example. They had said that someone was, among other things, a "fucking shitwit," "self righteous piece of subhuman filth," "a fucking idiot," "fucking brain dead," "your argument is stupid and you deserve what the republicans are gonna do to you," and that they "hope it’s painful and prolonged." Then they got a three day ban, and then said the ban was a way for FlyingSquid to wield his mod powers to "win" the argument against their clearly superior position.
