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.

Are you suggesting America isn't authoritarian?

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

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

Do you think it is?
