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.

YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.


Some acronyms you might see.

I cannot repost what Flying Squid was posting here, because it involved highly disturbing and dangerous content, including:

Content WarningGraphic content, harassment, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, which I reported immediately.

While this behavior is shocking, it’s not completely out of left field, as members of this community and platform will already be familiar with their behavior. Flying Squid has long been regarded as one of the least productive and most problematic mods on all of Lemmy, often picking fights and abusing their mod privileges. I view this change as a positive step for Squid, .world, and Lemmy as a whole.

Im on Lemmy far more than I'd like to admit. Im always so confused when I see Squid hate. Ive never seen him say anything that's not equal to what the other person is saying.

I can't even see this "episode".

I think there are people that take it waaaay too seriously when they see someone else is a mod. Mods are just you and me, but they have a more active role in whatever community. You can be a mod anytime you'd like. Simply create a community and voila! You are now a hated person.

Ive been banned from multiple places and couldn't care any less about who banned me, or who the mods are. Grow up and chill out.

Anywhoo that's my 2 crumbs. Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!

My friend, I'm with you. And I actually get called troll and a bot, because "no one could be on Lemmy that much!!" Um what? I get accused of being a bot and I don't think I'm even on a lot. lol

100 percent this.

Unless someone is posting something illegal, advocating violence/threats, or is doxxing, I think ANY and ALL bans are lame and come from power-hungry losers.
