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.

I get the ironic angle of the mod being "authoritarian" but that's their space and if they decide they don't want to deal with trolls arguing about they can ban people.

Just like trans communities can and should ban people who just want to argue about if trans people are real. If you try to argue against it you're just being a dick and distracting from the point of the community.

How was OP trolling? They simply called out the strawman in the OOP

If the point of a community is spreading misinformation, you have a moral obligation to distract from the point of the community

And does that apply to when transphobes decide that trans people being real is "misinformation"?

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 48 minutes ago

No, because it's not. Truth is not subjective.

Are you suggesting America isn't authoritarian?

Are you suggesting term length has anything to do with authoritarianism?

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip -1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I'll bite, compared to Russia or China, the U.S. is not an authoritarian state.

Do you think it is?

The gulag system is mostly for the blacks, we are not the same.JPEG.
