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
ya gotta follow the guidelines in the sidebar:
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.
Thanks!
There is no link to the content, or the modlog in your post, just a link to another community where you also posted this...
Weird, must be my front-end then, sorry about that! Linking now: https://lemmy.ml/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=19596601
YDI.
It’s fairly clear from the sidebar that the community positions itself against ML/grad.
The moderator is well known for being hostile to “tankies”. At the same time .ml itself has banned Deceptichum from communities they’ve never engaged with based purely on their ideological values so it feels hypocritical to complain about them doing the same unless you also disagree with .ml's moderation.
China is persecuting the Uyghurs, they are forcing them into harsh programs to strip them of their non-Chinese cultural aspects. Some academics see this as a type of genocide, as they are effectively erasing a culture/ethnicity. Most feel there has to be a physical displacement, or mass killings in an attempt to destroy their people, to truly qualify for this label. I am on the side of the latter. I can understand the former's argument, but I think cultural erasure, rather than physical displacement/mass killing, should be a separate atrocity. Looking at what OP has been saying, it seems they believe this too.
Only thing I really see on leftist spaces that bothers me, in this arena, is the people who will argue as I do about the Uyghurs, but consider the residential schools of North America a genocide. The natives went through a real genocide, cultural erasure was a clear step back in depravity. An atrocity none-the-less, just not THE atrocity.
The biggest source on this is Adrian Zenz and the victims of communism memorial.
Anything's possible when you make shit up
Yes.
Free the Uyghurs, fuck China.
Fuck the incoming clowns who will say “butt Adrian Zenz and cia color ops”.
Also hilarious you link to your tankie circlejerk thread than the original.
And I did not reply to you after banning and removing your last comment, so you’re also outright lying.
Even state department mouthpieces have to grudgingly admit that even the thing you could wilfully misconstrue as some kind of cultural suppression has already ended
The CIA tried to fund a breakaway sect of violent Islamic extremists, whose main target was other Uyghurs, and China conducted the most thorough and successful deradicalization campaign of all time

Eh, I thought I was cross posting 🤷♀️ The modlog links to the thread anyway, but I'm sure this was a huge win for you 👍

Indeed, you were the only person in the thread who could have replied to anything, but please tell me more about your leftist/anarchist/whatever values that you undoubtedly have.
Weird that ML is a reason when that's not in the rules. Wonder why they don't block the instance or have a rule against them posting.
PTB though. Persecution is bullshit but not the same as a genocide.
free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.
It's right there in the sidebar buddy.
Persecution is bullshit but not the same as a genocide.
Forced re-education and destruction of culture is literally genocide. Not to mention the literal slavery.

I found that rule confusingly worded, so it does mean .ML and .Grad aren't allowed to post? Why not just say that?
Whether a genocide occured/is occuring is still an academic/legal gray area. Some call it a genocide, others say cultural erasure and extensive human rights abuses are their own animals. Genocide literally has a bunch of definitions.
You're assuming a lot about me. I created !Independent_Media@lemmy.today !wild_feed@sh.itjust.works and !indy_news_canada@sh.itjust.works
I live in the west, I have no problem with western media.

Because many people signed up for ML without knowing it was a tankie instance and aren't tankies themselves - Those users are allowed to post.

Up until a few months ago pieces of shit were arguing Gaza wasn't a genocide either. I've always called it as such, and I'll do the same here. The intent is to destroy their culture, leading to the end of an ethnic group, ergo I view it as genocide and I don't platform denying that. They have 3 whole instances and leftymemes to do that, they can live without one community.

Eh, I don't really care if you do or don't, but if I had say posted this Reuters piece instead that tankies would argue it was all Western propaganda. Gotta pre-empt them before they spam walls of copy-pasted propaganda.
