Banned for calling out a Zionist
(lemmy.world)
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.
All posts should follow this basic structure:
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.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
Relevant comms
You cannot seriously expect everyone to keep track of hundreds of anonymous handles.
I can probably name like 4 Lemmy users and I only remember those because I like them.
Who are they? Genuinely curious
(All 4 are me)
Me, myself, and my alt.
My short list (most memorable, but not necessarily because I like them) is PugJesus, Yogsoth, return2ozma, and yourself. I'd add db0, but it feels like cheating since it's the instance name as well.
Thanks!
N.. Not because I like you, or anything... Baka!
Use a client that allows you to make tags. Not that difficult to immediately label the shitty people like Zionists, Racists, Transphobes, etc.
Label them to yourself, sure. Go around shouting ‘ZIONIST!’ everywhere and you come off a loon.
Guess I care too much about this platform that I'm willing to call out the scum when I see it and not let it spread bringing us all down in the process
Are there nuances to the word Zionist? I don't know enough about the culture in the Levant. If you call someone that, you're assuming other people know what you're talking about. I strongly suggest you stay away from labels, but call out what they're actually doing.
The problem is, nobody else can see the tags you apply to a user. So to everyone else, it just looks like you're calling someone a Zionist out of the blue if they're not already familiar with that user's history.
