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.
YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
Relevant comms
Actions / comments showing that Piefed.social supports Palestine
I don't reply here often because when people make posts like this, especially on other people's behalf I usually get harassed and insulted (this one's no different, considering the transphobia in the comments). But I do have to clarify because it's important.
Rimu has recently been defending the actions of MrKaplan, who has been using his power as a LW admin to promote Zionism, and by defending that they are indirectly apologizing for Zionism. It doesn't matter if they supported Palestine before or if they still do now. They're currently apologizing for and defending a Zionist. Which is why they were banned. They are not the first person banned for that either, a lot of LW accounts have been banned for Zionist apologia and many more will likely follow.
It would be kind of like if someone who's a trans ally started defending someone who was insulting trans people for getting gender affirming care. It doesn't matter how much they supported trans people in the past or claim to support them now. They are defending and promoting a transphobe.
But both rimu and Skavau are defending Kaplans actions of defedederating anarchist nexus and mostly likely db0 soon. Hell rimu followed without question.
Actions always speak louder than words (or in this case pictures)
What a shock that Rimu hates antizonists more than mass murder.
Important note that this is just a community ban, not an instance ban. Mm is not an admin.
That said, MM has always been a bit trigger happy. This wouldn't be even noticed if they didn't moderate so many comms, or if the modlog would automatically conflate all comm bans by one mod into a single entry.
Anyway, I do find that jumping to call people zionists or nazis at the drop of a hat is not healthy
Wow
Y'all just let us fine users on instances where nothing ever happens know how that all plays out.
I don't have much informations about the admin and piefed. Does they generally remove zionist comments and ban zionists users?
Putting a Palestinian flag means nothing, if Israeli apologist still run free and people rejected Palestinians right to armed resistance
the more I dig into them, I'm not so sure @Rimu@piefed.social is a zionist.
I’ve never seen anything to support Rimu being Zionist.
A lib sure, but many libs are anti-Israel as well after witnessing the horrors now. They just have kneejerk reactions to violence as a political tool of the proletariat classes.
This doesn't even make sense. How is supporting palestine "emulating a zionist". Is this mod just an idiot?
Rimu went straight to defense of MrKaplan and attacking luminous for being anti-zionist, to the point of Kaplan defederating from anarchist.nexus.
Kind of a words vs actions thing here. IMO, rimu is firmly in the wrong, but I also see no reason for MM to preventively ban, but not my comm so not my decision.

To add clarification to that, there has been a wave of LW accounts promoting Zionism or just brigading my communities. With that has been a wave of bans (you can check the logs) both reactive and proactive. I know some people don't like proactive bans, although, honestly it's unreasonable to expect mods to let shit slide when they see a person they know will cause trouble.
The fact people harass me here for this doesn't really help the case against proactive bans. And I assume the reactions I'll get from here will further reinforce this.
Did my comment seem like an attack? I was just saying its not how I like to handle things, but your comm you get the choice.
Not at all. I didn't mean to sound defensive. I'm usually on high alert when I comment here since others have attacked me and the general sentiment on Lemmy is hostile against proactive moderation even when it is needed to keep communities afloat. I just wanted to be clear on why I do things because there are people who do expect mods to let things like this slide. It's ultimately up to each mod how they run their communities, and it's also situational. Some communities might not need proactive moderation at all.
OK just checking, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't coming across different than intended
Everyone has a different threshold for a preemptive ban, to me it depends more on interaction. If there isnt any interaction, to me a ban just gets their attention, so I don't bother. If there's some (or interaction outside the community that makes it clear its about to be a problem), thats when I personally take action.
Again though, everyone can have their own approach. If they dont like it, they can start their own comm - thats what makes the fediverse great.
So what you're saying is that the banning has absolutely nothing to do with anything in Blaze's post and he's just either intentionally or ignorantly misdirecting us.
Blaze can get blinded by their love/prefer towards piefed platform. It's not the first time they've been willing to run cover for it and rimus particular design choices.
Good to know.
Pretty much.
What the fuck blaze
BTW, this is what Marxist was referring to (albeit in a way that was so confusing I didnt even follow at first)
For reference:

Just browse around for rimu.
Edit: and @Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com made a great summary in that thread of Kaplan's behavior.
It makes for very confusing arguments when one person doesn't have important context and the other doesn't know that person doesn't have it.
tbf, I knew the context and I didn't follow their comments at first either, so I get it
