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.

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.

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


Some acronyms you might see.

MODERATORS
 

I don't expect this to play particularly well here, and maybe I'm just being conspiratorial, but here goes:

I banned jordanlund@lemmy.world from !transgender@lemmy.blahajzone earlier today- he literally posted a matt walsh youtube link and was being otherwise transphobic in a space where that gets you banned. (link)

one of jordanlunds removed comments w/ matt walsh video:

spoiler

the reason I put down was 'trolling about neopronouns' I stand by that, it was violating instance rules and was unacceptable behavior from a moderator of another instance.

Shortly after that I got banned from news@lemmy.world for 'trolling'. To be clear, jordanlund does not moderate news@lemmy.world, but the timing struck me as an odd coincidence.

The .world thread in question (link)

I was expressing my actual opinion/position on this, if anything the post I was replying to should be considered a rule 1 violation implying leftists are russian/under russian sway:

spoiler

The removed comments that I was banned (permanent) for were just me being earnest about my position, which you're welcome to disagree with.

I don't view protecting my rights as something worth sacrificing other people for, even if they're on the other side of the planet. You can be mad at me or hate me for that, but I'm not trolling.

People replying felt it was reasonable to call me an idiot for example, yet another example of selective moderation. on .world.

I don't have any conclusive proof that my banning Jordanlund and then getting banned are related other than the suspicious timing, I welcome clarification.

Anyway in the interest of neutrality and transparency I submit both my ban and jordanlunds for review.

This is (among other reasons) why federation was never going to be a good solution . instead of fighting over which site is good and which is bad we are fighting over instances while having the same problems. P2p is the answer

Just something else I found recently

Oh that is interesting information, thank you!

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 days ago

Oh that would explain a lot lol

I used to think neo-pronouns are kinda silly, and I guess I still kinda do. But there's no skin off my back to address people in a way that they don't find hurtful. If people tell me my actions are hurtful to them, I try and take them at face value so long as doing so wouldn't be hurtful to others or myself. Seems like basic conscientiousness to me.

PTB. You did nothing wrong here.

Isn’t FlyingSquid a mod there? They cooperate with one another, so if you cross one you cross both.

But yeah, doesn’t surprise me. Jordan is the same white dude who said he didn’t support BLM because protests inconvenienced him. He’s a peak liberal Zionist.

Why are you bringing up his race at all as it is his views that are objectionable not his skin tone.

Every other instance should defederate from .world. Neoliberal fascism is no better than regular fascism.

[–] somename@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yeah. Why voluntarily get the worst part of reddit moderation?

Yeah that tracks. Jordan's one of the worst mods on here.

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was the one that submitted the ban, after a number of reports. On the face of it (I am at work, so don't always have time to deep dive), The reports did seem to align with trolling.

I had/have no idea what's going on withe the Jordan Lund thing.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

For what it's worth I thought I was being respectful in my dissent, I was even keeping my comments to the one thread and not attempting to insult anyone. I'm entirely open to this just being coincidence.

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Fair point. I'll restore the comments and remove the ban

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

thank you! sorry to raise a stink, I appreciate the quick response!

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Caught me on my lunch break, and this is a community I love lurking in.

World is an absolute cancer on Lemmy, its filled with ShitLibs who hold on to their Reddit mentality. If Blahaj defederated from world absolutely nothing of value would be lost.

[–] Nindelofocho@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Honestly .world seems to be turning into the same shit that reddit was except even more hypocritical cause they “arent reddit” is there a tool I can use to migrate my account?

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 6 points 2 days ago

Account settings - export settings In a new account - account settings - import settings

PTB. Throwing a fit because you pointed out their blatant transphobia

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I just want to add that it seems to me that about 90% of people accused of trolling on here do not themselves think they are trolling. Something to ponder.

PTB. I think you are correct in both cases.
