Got banned from Gaming@lemmy.zip community, because why not?
(reddthat.com)
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.

Disengage

Just a heads up, keeping on going after someone says "Disengage" is ban-worthy in this community. I get it. People are jumping on ya, and you wanna defend yourself. But "Disengage" means the discussion has to end. If we don't follow that guideline, most of the comments here just spiral into infinity of back and forth.
So if you don't delete your comment, good chance you can get banned here. I'm not your boss tho, so you do you. I'm only pointing it out because the rule was pointed out to me once and helped me.
I'm not defending you or any others here, just giving you some facts.
The sidebar does not mention any "Disengage" rule.
If I get banned, then I would simply call it what it's a power tripping.
We did not leave Reddit and come to Lemmy so mods could mod by magic, we left Reddit so we can get more transparency.
It's an instance wide rule, not community specific. But given the commenter who used it didn't use it correctly (it's not supposed to be used to have the last word) I'm not going to ban you. Just because you are ignorant of our instance rules doesn't mean they don't apply to you.
I feel like this is a clarity weakness with the fediverse currently.
Communities are bound by instance rules and punish any user posting to them based on those instance rules, but remote users are never informed in any way about a community's instance's rules.
True, but that doesn't change the facts I gave you, friend. Maybe the sidebar will be updated or something. Either way, I have seen people banned for going on after the word was dropped.
Listen, I know what it's like to be piled up on. Trust me on this. For a long time, people accused me of being the most downvoted, most hated person on Lemmy (good times/glory days).
Some still think that. So I know what it's like.
Sometimes when the crowd is chasing you with pitchforks, you gotta realize that you ain't gonna win the fight and you just let it go. Doesn't mean you leave Lemmy or anything, but sometimes it's just not worth arguing about. So you move on, and find places on Lemmy that you do like, and carry on.
I was just banned from some place just yesterday because someone called me a troll who was banned from everywhere, and my exact reply was: "Nope. Still here." Boom! Banned there now for ban evasion, tho I didn't realize I had ever been banned from that comm before. lol
Meh, it is what it is. Lemmy ain't that serious.
But like I said, I ain't your boss. You do you. But if you keeping on going like this in this comm, you will def get banned from here. Maybe you care, maybe you don't. I'm just giving you my opinion.
Actually, the sidebar does list it, just not the sidebar for the community. It's listed on the frontpage, in the instance sidebar. Now, if they didn't see that, it obviously doesn't change the fact they are required to obey it, because ignorance is never an excuse.
annndddd now he's banned. I tried to warn him! lol
