Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I am looking to join some leftist Discords but unfortunately some of them seem to be controlled opposition (example being Workers' Alliance).

I got banned from a GZD Discord for "talking back" to a mod ๐Ÿ˜… I was polite asf mind you. Fucking megalomaniacs.

Huh? Who?

I can see a couple downvotes so I might have upset someone, so for some context:

The mod was a she/her with an anime girl pfp. My name on there was KiG V2, I'm that everywhere. I genuinely can't remember the nature of what got me banned, I think it was, like, I said something contentious, I was having a civil discussion with a few others, the mod stepped in with a very different tone and was like "you're wrong shut up," I just talked to them like anybody else just tried to very plainly and politely speak my piece, I guess this was intolerable because I was immediately permabanned.

I messaged two separate people from the incident, they assured me that I did nothing wrong and that her behavior was regularly a petty "my way or the highway" type deal, that it was less about me breaking a rule and more about me insulting her personally for not being immediately defferent. Which is, in my experience, pretty typical Discord mod behavior (no hate if any of the mods etc here are also mods on Discord, I like all the mods here everybody strikes me as reasonable, not power tripping brats like that one).

I don't know, it happened, like, a year ago I think.
