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:

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

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.

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


Some acronyms you might see.

Trying to equate Zionism with all Jews is antisemitic by definition. It doesn't matter if its 50% or 90% of Jewish people who support Zionism. It's a trap to do so since then you can be dismissed for being antisemitic, which seems to be the case here.

If all you are arguing is that the majority of Jews support Zionism, well that's probably true. But let's not fall for the antisemitic trap of judging every member of a religion by the worst examples. Otherwise we are no better than the folks who characterise all muslims as violent terrorists.

So if someone denies that the vast Majority of Jews are Zionists nobody is allowed to correct them because that's "antisemitic". Got it.

Nice throwing the false Muslim terrorist equation in there but the vast majority of Muslims do not support ISIS or any similar organisation. But if they did would it be Islamophobic to correct someone saying they didn't?

I think it's fine to point out that a majority of Jews are Zionists, but the implication that it's ok to judge an entire religion by it's worst members, even if they are a majority, is not ok. Because that's how we people make the leap from "death to Zionists" to "death to Jews". One is a statement of solidarity with the Palestinian cause. The other is just plain old antisemitism, disguised as social justice.
