I got 2 comments removed and a 1-day ban from lemmy@lemmy.ml (of course it's .ml 🙄) for violating 'rule 2', which doesn't exist, at least not in the sidebar.

I'm willing to consider that 'rule 2' is about discussing .ml, but the second comment was a definition. nutomic@lemmy.ml got his fefes hurt by a dictionary.

Thread in question: https://lemmy.zip/post/62996430

Edit: fucking lol I didn't expect everyone here to be a fucking hypocrite. As I've been told, Rule 2 on .ml is be respectful. Was OP being respectful when they insulted LW? Bunch of backpedalling ignants.

Edit 2: I've now been banned for 'trolling and genocide apologia,' from several dbzer0 communities. First off, wow, what part of me is trolling? Just cause you don't agree with me doesn't make me a troll. Second, at what point did I ever claim genocide is okay? Ironic that YPTB is run by PTBs.

I just reread the sidebar, and per the first sentence, my comments were not against the rules.

rule 2 specifically states:

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

zionism is bigotry. specifically, it is an ethno-nationalist religious surpemacy colonial movement that believes white Jews are a specific gods chosen people who were promised the earth (gods don't exist and all religions are myths). zionism advocates for the mass murder of anyone who is not zionist. it's one of the most racist and xenophobic ideologies on the planet, no different than nazism. by defending zionists (eww, that's fucking gross you weirdo), you are defending that bigotry and engaging in it yourself.

you broke the most important rule of lemmy.ml there is. on top of that, zionism is also against the rules of all instances in the FAF, meaning it's against the rules of dbzer0, which is where this post currently resides. the rule banning zionism and defense of it was voted on by all the members, by the way, so don't expect many people here to be sympathetic to your right-wing bullshit.

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.

Posting Guidelines

All posts should follow this basic structure:

Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules

Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
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.
If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
Keep the comments in YPTB posts about the moderation action itself, not about the general topic in which the moderation took place.

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.

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

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.
YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
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.
