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.

Everything I downvoted was because I genuinely do not think it's good. Like meat is not going to cure cancer.
I actually really like eating meat I just try to life a life that gives others room to enjoy this earth too without mutually destroying it.
Please tell me how I am the asshole :)

That is objectively funny😂
You win the interwebs today!
Context for the cancer thing. Btw I did not downvote everything but that should not matter
I saw that too and was fucking appalled. The kinds of mental gymnastics needed to call something that is itself carcinogenic “the cure for cancer” is fucking ludicrous.
We are focused on health and lifestyle while trying to eat zero carb bioavailable foods.
LOL what a joke, my ancestors lived on a diet of almost all bison, but they still needed other foods like nuts and berries and grains. They ate pemmican more then they ate fresh meat. The thing is that once they had to transition to domesticated animals like cows and pigs, the general health went downhill fast. All red meat is not the same.
Eating a lot of meat is not good for you, science has proven this time and time again. The only reason my ancestors were able to live on a full diet of bison is because they ate the whole freakin animal and perserved the meat with berries and nuts (pemmican)
Never heard of pemmican before, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I highly doubt this. Meat in prehistoric societies was pretty hard to come by. When you exist on the same plane as the animals, you're subject to all the stuff they plan to do to make sure they're not going to get eaten. It's a hell of a lot easier and safer just to grow some plants or do some fishing or something.
I won't say it never happened that someone's ancestor's society was just killing it and eating bison burgers all the time but the diet where you can eat large animal meat is almost entirely a modern invention caused by our overflow of wealth and productivity.

Eating a lot of meat in the modern day will straight-up kill you in the long run (literally), because the meat is full of hormones, pesticides, antibiotics, disease from the conditions they were kept in, and God knows what else. Societies in the ancient world that sorted out how to eat meat consistently (one prime example being domesticating cattle successfully) started exploding across the landscape and overtaking all their neighbors, it's a pretty good formula as long as the meat is healthy for you.
Have you looked up Inuit? Not much else besides meat and fish...
Brah, it's bad form to just go into a community and start downvoting every single article you see. YDI.
I'm seeing more and more Lemmys doing that to try to control their narrative. Not cool.
I am pretty sure the carnivore community is just a big troll. Maybe it is some confused people, but it seems on Lemmy more likely to just be people taking the piss out of vegans.
But not like in a cheeky and fun way, more cruel and tragic
At this time and age you can expect anything to be serious. Like biden being cloned
YDI.
If you go around down voting everything, that's not acting in good faith. Down voting the post, yeah, that's one thing and it's perfectly fine to down vote posts that are (to your best knowledge) misinformation.
The problem starts when you go into comment sections and down vote everything. See, if you're doing that, it's ignoring whether or not the comments are on for the post. Disagreement isn't a valid reason to vote bomb an entire comment section. That's what an asshole does.
Now, I have done plenty of down voting in that community. But no blanket knee jerk vote sprees. That's where you cross from reasonable opposition into just trying to fuck with people.
It doesn't even matter what the topic is for this community. It isn't about validating or invalidating your opinion of subject, it's about whether or not the mod action was justified based on your actions. And they absolutely were.
YDI
You went to a community you disagree with and downvoted almost everything that was there. Sounds like probable trolling to me.
I don’t think I’ll be taking any life advice from someone called the Steak and Butter Gal
YDI, mass downvoting is toxic.
Please tell me how I am the asshole :)
You are not the asshole. As I said in the above post, if you're downvoting everything it's the wrong community for you.
The community is !carnivore@dubvee.org if anyone is interested in participating
I should be explicit - I welcome opposing views, constructive debate, polite back and forth of data and ideas. That is what i live for, that is the power of lemmy.
What I don't tolerate is hostility and making the community unfriendly to new posters. The intention is to create safe space for people to talk about carnivore, so attacking users either via antagonistic messages or downvoting their content isn't going to work for me.
Well said!
The community is !carnivore@dubvee.org if anyone is interested in participating
I would, but I'm instance banned from dubvee for being a Luigi supporter

Methinks you picked a bad instance for that :(
YDI, going into a community to downvote everything is toxic behavior and mods have every right to ban you for it. And they probably should, it's obviously not a good fit for you.
What is with all the twats purposefully going into communities they don't agree with just to be asswaffles?
YDI, and quite frankly I applaud the mod for not putting up with your bullshit and shutting you down before you disrupt their community.
Unless the mod is straight up lying about you down voting everything in the thread: YTI.
The mod, Jet, has a shitty tool that considers someone to 'down vote everything' if someone down votes the single comment that Jet added to one of his own posts in his misinformation spreading communities as he explains here: https://lemmy.world/post/29364582/16948483
Currently it does not, if someone really dislikes a community enough to down vote a post and then go through the effort to open it and also down vote the only comment, it’s a strong signal they are not a good fit for the community
That's right, if you open a single post by Jet in one of Jet's misinformation communities you saw on All and down vote the post and Jet's one comment that expands on the misinformation then you are accused of 'down voting everything' and banned from all of Jet's communities. That includes seeing a single post in All, opening it and down voting the post and the comment.
the ban only applies if the account never comments, posts, or upvotes. A strictly negative interaction signal.
Though, even then a minimum threshold should be set. That's just all kinds of stupid.
OP downvoted every post in the comm. That's not a shitty tool, that's a shitty user
Edit: It's hilarious how biased parent commentor is, that he downvoted me pointing out something simple and obvious.
Vegans are touchy because they are always experiencing the suffering of others through empathy they refuse to tune out. "Carnivores" are touchy because they resent the moral judgement of others.
I would agree if you was in a community called nutrition or diet.
If a sub is explicitly dedicate to disinformation, we should just respect that. \s
YDI.
