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.

I made a post about the Europeans who are being deported from Germany for being anti-genocide. https://lemmy.ml/post/28407953
A user repeated the now many times debunked lie that these victims facing deportation were "violent racist rioters". Blatant German propaganda, made up to smear opposition to the genocide in Palestine. Which Germany supplies 30% of the weapons for.
After calling them, and a few other users out for repeating the same lie, the moderators banned me.
YDI.
I'm not usually one to be a tone police bastard, but (hope I'm tagging this right) @[email protected] was right.
Rule #3 on [email protected] "Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies." Emphasis mine. "No the German authorities are the racist idiots. And so is anyone agreeing with the German authorities." That's pretty obviously insulting.
I really want to stress that my judgement here is independent of the point you were making. No one provoked you. You can read the rules. You could easily have made your point without insulting someone, but you chose to be insulting. And don't get me wrong, you can take satisfaction in doing that, if you're doing it on purpose and you feel it's called for, but you still would've deserved it for breaking the rules of that space.
Rule 3 taken literally means you can't call nazis out as the shit stains of humanity that they are. Sometimes rules are too simplistic and tone policing is a really, really common one.
So like I said, there can be satisfaction in breaking the rules. But you're still going to get the obvious repercussions.
If I called a nazi a nazi and get punished for it, I'd wear that shit proud, not bitch about it. And things being the rules doesn't make them moral. But you can still deserve the reaction you got, even if you were right in everything you did, and when that happens, you should be thrilled, not complaining.
If I called a nazi a nazi and got punished for it, I wouldn't be posted to YPTB, because that's not power tripping. I'd be posting it everywhere else that there are nazis, and don't you want to come call one of them a nazi and collect your trophy ban?
Wow you have really kinda gross ideas about rules.
Other users are insulting the people protesting against genocide and not getting bans.
I did not insult any users. I insulted the German government for its complicity in genocide and everyone who aligns with that view point.
You blanket labelled all Germans as pro-genocide and made sockpuppet accounts after you got banned. We know it was you by your rhetoric.
Russian propaganda = Russian government
German propaganda = "the people of Germany."
Btw telling you believe anyone opposing Nazism is a sockpuppet. Do name these sockpuppet accounts.
You know very well which ones. Most having inflammatory names directed towards me or towards Germans. One of them being named "udumbbitch".
I have no other accounts posting in that post and I think it is hillarious that you cannot fathom more than one person opposing genocide.
You are on the wrong side of history again.
