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.
Relevant comms
The most funny fact here is the articles that came in the same time.
Zelensky predicts that Putin 'Will Die Soon'
And from the New York Times:
It just shows that Lemmy or Reddit, both have terrible mods and both can silence your voice on command without any reason.
I dunno geo-trends.eu, but it does read like exactly the rhetoric pushed on kremlin funded or operated disinformation websites. Like painting Russia as looking for peace and Trump as a genuine negociator is at best immensely naïve, at worst straight up disinformation. (I encourage anyone who disagrees with me to look at the past 30 years of Ukrainian history, context helps).
Generally mods don’t have infinite time. So it they see a tiny website with little to no outside references, and the article they saw reads like Kremlin disinfo, they’ll probably remove it.
I’m not saying the mods necessarily made the right decisions, but I don’t blame them for removing the article. I do question the one month ban though, especially if this was a first time they’ve removed one of your posts/comments.
I don't agree with the length of ban personally, but I'd say YDI because that article is trash. No, I don't want to explain why it's trash. More than just being Pro-Russia, it's also supportive of the Trump regime in the USA in a way that feels like bootlicking.
Your article do looks like Russian propaganda
Very. I'm not mad.
just have to read first 3 paragraphs from your links to see it's russian bullshit. dude, use your critical thinking
Well your linked article can be understood and pretty hard retelling of Russia‘s and thus Trump‘s narrative, while denigrating European perspective and interests.
The mods aren’t terrible if they try to filter what the consider blatant propaganda from a dubious publication.
It could also be banned for low quality.
You are correct that there isn’t a lot of diversity of thought and perspective in many subreddits/communities. The overall extreme polarization has strengthened the echo chambers.
You’ve operated this account for 30 days and originated over 600 posts with it. Now you’re going to whine about how hot the kitchen is?
Imaginary peace is cool, hope european leaders actually smarter than the goldfish and can understand that giving into r*ssian blackmail is going to lead to bigger war.
I generally don't support removal of content but this is Russian propaganda so I ain't gonna judge although maybe debunking as such would more helpful way to handle it.
It would turn into a pissing contest with tankies tho
Just report on world news sub on lemmy.ml they will give you a medal for it.

Nowadays on Reddit something similar would probably get you perma banned site wide
PTB. Unless the mods knows something about the author I don't. I don't agree with the article that much but I don't see a need for the mods to play thought police.
