Honestly, I'm not mad, its just funny how state/corporate sponsored violence is all okay but a pleb making a joke (its not even a real threat c'mon) is not okay.

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
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin' in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
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.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

But insurance is supposed to payout when an insured person needs it. The only claims they should deny are fraudulent claims. There is an agreement, so neglecting the agreement is still liability.
Like a home care worker being employed and assigned to an elderly person, then decide to go on an hour phone call and not making sure the elderly person doesn't like fall down or anything, then they finish their hour-long phone call and find that the person they were supposed to be taking care of have fallen down the stairs. Like the home care worker didn't cause them to die, but its practically the same. There's probably lawsuits and probably also criminal charges.
But in the CEO situation, the ananlogy would be more like the elderly person ask you to help them walk, and you just refuse to do your job, then they fall down the stairs and you don't even call an ambulance while watching them die. That's essentially what the healthcare executives are doing. They are neglecing to provide the service they agreed to while taking premiums. That should be criminal.
yeah, i'm not saying it's not criminal and bad behavior, but it's not violence. (it was called violence in the OP)
Denying healthcare is violence. Just because there’s layers of paper pushers in between the patient and the corporation denying care doesn’t change things.
Engels said it best:
Perspective can definitely change when one experiences needless suffering or death, or watches a loved one go through that
"violence" comes from "violation" which we can agree is the case when unethical insurance providers deny doctor-recommended treatment.
