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.

A positive score comment chastising an evil dictatorship for supporting a fascist gets removed.
I don't know. I don't want to play apologetics for the tankies, but showing up in a tankie community and telling them that they're supporting fascism just sounds like trolling to me. You know what you're doing, and them taking the bait isn't power tripping.
YDI. That statement is overbroad, and the mods were right to hand out a ban for baiting people into an argument, especially since Tankies ≠ Anarchists in the first place.
Also, your conclusion is a non sequitur.
That doesn't track anyway, the china helping trump get elected part.
If china wanted trump then they are fucking stupid from their own standpoint. Orange man hates them and is slapping them with tariffs, and china's biggest trade partner is us.
Unless there's some 5d chess explantation, I'm going with that doesn't pass the sniff test.
But there's another prominent evil dictator who trump is besties with who absolutely does interfere in our elections that might deserve the accusation
YDI
While all Nazis may be fascists, not all fascists are Nazis specifically. So it's incorrect use of language, i.e. at least misinfo if not delivered with intent to mislead that would be disinfo.
While there is a great deal of similarity between the Alt-Left tankies and the Alt-Right MAGATs, that doesn't mean that tankies are actual Nazis, just that they support them with such misleading rhetoric as BoTh SiDeS sAmE.
So this is definitely flamebait. You weren't trying to convince anyone of anything, just venting your frustrations at the world. People will be more receptive if you consider that their consent to receive messages should matter as well.
Textbook example of flamebait and disinfo leads to textbook example of YDI
Troll.
