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.

You did comment there. You commented apologia for the Israeli genocidal settler-colonial state's apartheid, specifically a physical apartheid wall. And your comment was removed, and you were site banned for... looks like 45-ish days.
Ah interesting, did not notice that was on .ml. But this topic is generally a big No-Go on Lemmy, no discussion possible. I tend to avoid it now.
If you want to defend Zionism, you'll have better luck on corporate social media, which are generally aligned with US foreign policy. Lemmy was created specifically as an alternative to that.
I think you have not read my comments. I do not care about Israel or Gaza itself, but I do care about people and sticking to the truth and proving context. A bit of a counter to the potential circle jerk with that topic here makes sense to me, but there is just no discussion possible. People have their opinion and that is that. Just like you, putting things in my mouth and wanting me gone.
