Liberalism is when you believe in voting against fascism to lessen the burdens on engaging in actual leftist action, I guess.

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.

But I think I should make the rules more explicit about liberal electoralism brainrot.
EDIT:
Here's a more explicit rule for you. but as always the FAFO is in effect for the next time you think something is not explicit enough.
Yep, it's a PugJesus moment. "Vaguely leftist".
So much for "I don't get a thrill out of debates." I wonder how long PJ will complain about db0 like he did with blahaj.
As is pointed out, no rules were broken, but I guess that's a level of reading comprehension above where you usually operate.
Literally already clarified this for you, but I understand that comprehension in general isn't your strong suit.
Love this!
I figured you might come in here with some well mannered annihilation of op. Pleasure to read it. Thank you for your service.
"Harm reduction is reactionary" and "If you believe in harm reduction, you don't understand what anarchism is".
Classic.
At least now you've added an actual rule, instead of just banning people for hurting your feelings by [checks notes] arguing that inaction against fascism isn't morally acceptable.
Imagine believing that voting for the people who brought us fascism (aka fascists) is "harm reduction".
Peak lib delusions.
Of course, the lives of marginalized groups don't matter to 'anarchist' LARPers. Harm reduction is unacceptable because it doesn't lead to a good society in and of itself. Who cares if a few million minorities more or less suffer and die?
