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.

For context, I generally report all calls to violence, no matter who the “victim” is, whether they are a public figure or an anonymous user. I didn’t even register that the person I was “defending” was rich—I’m just aware that calls to violence are against most instances’ terms of service (due to legal threats). Genuinely sorry seahorse! I wish you just had something in your instance sidebar or even spoke to me instead of jumping to ban and “lib” insults!

Unverifiable information you will have to take my word for (per community rules)
Apologized to seahorse and got:

My own personal curiosities only adjacently relatedCorrect me if I’m wrong, isn’t this a bit of an abuse of federation? This is the same admin that pulled the move with the doxxing of Nick Fuentes. By banning users for reporting content that may violate our local instance rules, seahorse is making our local instances harder to moderate for our admins. (Honestly I respect the commitment to the running a very open and uncensored instance, but until Lemmy has the option to only report to local admins versus local & federated authorities, this may not be the best strategy?)

Anyway, this is pretty interesting. I’m honestly not too pressed about this (mostly I will miss !theonion@midwest.social) and curious what yall think. :)

Also in case anyone was wondering, the “victim” wasn’t Brian Thompson or any other CEO. He’s already dead (lol) and I specifically can say for sure I have intentionally never reported a comment about him because of my personal sympathy with the oppressed individuals under his watch. Again I don’t remember who it was. :/

If seahorse had put a rule regarding his preference in the sidebar(s), a pinned post… or even reached out or anything…

…Well I wouldn’t be making this post lmao. As it stands I was banned for a “rule” that’s entirely undocumented.

Reported for not actively opposing violence for all god's creatures.

Reported for not actively supporting violence for all god's creatures (existence is suffering, and suffering is wrong)

sorry :’( contrary to recent rumors i don’t really fit the bill of ‘libbity lib lib’ ⍝^◕ᴗ◕^⍝

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

and if [...] had just reached out to let me know

That's the part that you might need to learn: they never "reach out". Never ever. You are not that important.

Good point. I will edit my comment to also say that there is no indication in the instance rules about this either. Permaban for something that is not mentioned in the instance rules and my own admins have in fact reached out and thanked me for.
