Liberalism is when you believe in voting against fascism to lessen the burdens on engaging in actual leftist action, I guess.
Extremely dire turbolib statement here, RIP

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:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
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.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless Mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

Apparently being anticapitalist isn't enough anymore. Only opposition to casting a ballot for any reason can absolve one of the taint of Liberalism(tm).
Though that still doesn't explain what rule I was actually banned for supposedly violating.
Ok
Here I think is their rule:
They kicked you for arguing too much.
Honestly, the rest of the comment section ALSO should have been booted off that was the case, but you were the one blocking the ~~echoes~~ Fung Shui.
I found it most enlightening that voting is not the answer, unless you are voting for anarchism.
Just remember, structure and the exercise of power is violence, so listen to the mods and take your three day ban 🙃
I try to leave some leeway for people to argue, but I will admit I was considering locking the whole thread.
Given the guidelines, that may have been more fair.
that's a good guess. I'd like to see the post that started this
You can click on a person's name then scroll through their history.

True, but it's still nice when there's an easy link. Thanks for doing it for the rest of us here. I wish people would include it in the post more. I like to see the context for myself, not just descriptions of it.
Yeah, that line of thinking can absolve my taint.
Pretty sure the propaganda is liberals are super evil, vote for the lesser of 2 evils. If you are liberal, you should boycott the vote. That's how America got the way it is. If you like being controlled people, be sure to follow the propaganda.
I didn't read the rules because they are made up anyway. If you give me a minute, I can try playing devil's advocate.
The German SDP were anticapitalist too. It has never been enough. But anarchists have at least learned that lesson
So fucking glad that we're at the point where literally allowing Hitler into power is anarchist praxis to show 'libs' like the fucking SDP what for, Jesus fucking Christ.
Imagine believing that anarchists let hitler into power and not the the exact same liberal politicians that you bow down to and that put Trump in power....
Imagine believing that the only non-KDP resistance to the Nazis isn't 'good enough' to support against the literal fucking Nazis because 'harm reduction is a myth'.
Anything to be a useful idiot for fascists, I guess.
