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
Absolutely no jokery allowed it seems XD
They believe because pooh is yellow in color they it aligns with racist stereotypes about Asians. They refuse to accept the origin of the meme was xi and Obama walking in a fashion just like pooh and Tigger.
But Obama is not a tiger, is not orange. The meme has nothing to do with yellow.
You got me curious about the origins of this. I'm pretty sure this image of Pooh and Tigger was made after the photo was taken, but it does seem to illustrate the point pretty well.
And the meme originates from China. Why would the Chinese be racist against themselves? It really makes zero sense.
.ml be like
If you say anything bad about China, you're racist
If you say anything bad about Russia, you're russophobic
If you say anything good about the US, you're an imperialist
Dont forget the:
"If you are ethnic Chinese, and you say anything bad about China, you are being internalized racist, and a 汉奸 (Han-Traitor)."
🤣
If you're anti-authoritarian, you're a brainwashed holocaust trivializing Joseph Goebbels following liberal. I wish that made any kind of sense whatsoever.
Because... Rule 1! REEEEE!
woe, rule 1 upon ye
No bigotry.
The party defines bigotry as insinuation the party is not the saviour of the people.
Lol that's a ~~paddlin~~ bigotry
Until .world gets around to finishing defed'ing from the last of the Tankie Triad, best we can do is avoid generating anything on .ml. No comments, posts or upvotes. If it's a non-tankie post cross post it to the closest relevant non-.ml community
That’s exactly what I do. I refuse to post anything or interact with anything created for, or in that shithole.
Someone seriously needs to make a community called “Rule 1” that specifically calls their shit out.
It can either be a place to document the abusive admins on .ml (I say admins and not mods because it seems from the logs, the mods are powerless pawns that are overridden by the authoritarian admins all the time there)
Or it can be a parody community designed to illustrate the absurdity of admin abuse.
(I’ll help mod it if someone makes one, but I ain’t creating that shit. WAY too heady for me. lol)
"Authoritarian admins"????
That's it, banned, Rule 1
Also, while it is indeed the admins that mass ban people from communities that they've never even heard of across the entire instance, the mods are not entirely unknown to Lemmy users themselves. There are many famous stories, such as the one who told a user that he wanted to kill them, bc they posted a screenshot of two people kissing in some kind of dating game claiming that it was "triggering". Those mods are protected by those admins. In turn, nobody else across the Fediverse is protected from either those mods or especially those admins.
This is their software, and we are on their platform, always remember.
You now understand correctly - you FAAFO on that instance. Best to steer clear of it.
Pff amateur. I got an instance wide permaban for "dear winnie"
I'm surprised it is only temporary. Looking at the mod log, getting a temp ban or a warning are the rarest forms of mod actions taken across all of Lemmy.
ML generally don't do perma bans
