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.
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.

Then removes the post itself for "misinfo".
Suffice to say I think that the mod 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?
You mean this one, that I removed as "Tankie adjacent post, masquerading as piracy related"? You could argue (and they did) that it's just a (shitty) anti corporate post. But I saw it as yet another troll on the West from the hexbear/.ml contingent. Ordinarily I would have given the poster the benefit of the doubt, and a more generous interpretation, but seeing it came from .ml amid a flurry of other trolling activity on our instance at the time from those two instances (mainly hexbear to be fair to .ml), I assumed it was posted in bad faith to characterize Westerners as privileged pro-corporate stooges. So, propaganda, basically. Of course, opinions will vary, but that was my take at the time.
And to add further context, I never banned the user who posted it. All I did was remove the post. It should have been no big deal. It was only a big deal because they decided to dogpile me like the scummy trolls they are. It seems to me that Hexbear seems to blow something massively out of proportion and call for admins to be banned at least once a week. It's become their MO really, and while it's sometimes entertaining to watch from the sidelines, let's call it what it is - bullying and harassment.
