Banned for Voting Incorrectly?
(lemmy.ca)
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.
All posts should follow this basic structure:
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.

Whoa, I thought only the conservative mods were pulling this
You think only conservatives mods would want to create safe positive environments for their users?
I don’t think that’s at all what conservatives want to do.
No, they want to control the narrative. This person set their comm to mod-post-only. It's their private blog. They're not making a safe place for others, they're making a safe place for themself.
Well that's equally as fine as well.
No is fucking not. You don't make a functional community by banning everything you personally disagree with... That's LITERALLY just a dumbass echo chamber.
If it’s literally a place only for them, they clearly are not building a community.
And if they were building a community, removing haters goes a long way to making it tolerable.
You seem to conveniently be forgetting the part where they ban on personal preference. It's in the context of this entire discussion.
Interesting how you defend the echo chamber, though...
It was clearly based on voting, not personal preference.
And why wouldn't I defend not having to deal with arseholes coming by and shitting on everything? I deal with it so often that I have zero patience for it.
You know you can just set a community to private, right?
Not yet, you can set it to public or local right now. Private for subscribers only is on the road map
It'd be fine if they weren't spewing their content across the fediverse. It should be fair game to discuss it no matter what opinion, short of hateful, it is.
I don’t think that’s what these mods were doing either.
