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.
YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.

Today, i couldnt upvote a post from anarchymemes@anarchist.nexus so i decided to check it out on my pc. i noticed that i was banned from the com even though i havent posted anything on the com nor the instance. i guess the reason for the ban is that i posted a meme to different comm a while ago. The meme is homophobic but i didnt know it when i was posting it. After finding out it was homophonic, i added a disclaimer to my post.
i dont think i deserved the ban, and i want to hear your thoughts.
well if you find even a single Quokk.au member who is offended by this, then let me know and I will ask @tenchiken@anarchist.nexus to take them off the trusted instances list so that they can't downvote memes in !anarchymemes@anarchist.nexus.
thoughts here, quite simple:
Crypt has a point but I'd like to bring some details.
1: while quokka.au chose to not join us in the flotilla, they still share many similar takes and values with us. We have reasons to trust many of them, and anarchy is about mutual support of each other.
2: any single user level action has little bearing on whether the quokka.au community on a whole is trusted. If there were systemic activity with admins knowing and ignoring, or condoning, then trust would break down.
3: communities have control over their own rules of conduct. So does the server. If you violate these, even accidentally, there can be consequences. You can appeal these, but if the mods and or admins believe there still remains an issue, then so do the consequences.
Directly put, your own actions and consequences have little to do with quokka.au . If you want the flotilla to specifically take any actions related to our relation with a fellow server, regardless if they are a part of the flotilla, that would need governance involvement and related vote. Bringing up that kind of issue over a single user ban for a bad attempt at a joke gone wrong is not appropriate avenue for this.
