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.

Rules

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.

MODERATORS
 
  1. Mod of !anarchism@slrpnk.net posts a great Greta Thunberg quote, but then tries to use it to justify not voting in the upcoming US election
  2. Multiple people point out that’s very clearly not what she meant
  3. Removed by mod Removed by mod Removed by mod Removed by mod

Using your mod powers to decide who is allowed and not allowed to speak is not very anarchist of you, @mambabasa@slrpnk.net

I'm not really talking about what Kropotkin said. I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic here.

Also literally the first line of your Wikipedia article:

Mutualism is an anarchist school of thought and anti-capitalist market socialist economic theory

I'm being extremely sarcastic.

I'm saying that proving that hierarchy is not necessary, and a group of people can manage themselves without one, by nominating one person to have ultimate authority over what actions can and can't be taken within your anarchism group, so that person can make sure it stays anarchist, is a very silly thing to do.

But what I'm trying to point out is that this one person does not have authority over anyone due to the nature of the fediverse. If they did, your post right here would be gone.

If the users that are in the community of the moderator didn't like how they managed things, they could make their own community. And if they didn't like that the instance let the community exist for whatever reason, they can change for a better instance. Admittedly it's hard to do so, but it's a pretty good model.

They can't stop users from making their own solar punk meme community.

The word your looking for is Free Association. And yes you are right, it is a key part of anarchism and you are mostly right. I do think moderation isnt being handled in a very anarchist manner, but the ideas of free association are still at play here.
