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
It’s like 150 entries of the same claim.
The question is who did this strange act of agression and why did they did it?
Weird timing but this was after I rebuked imaqtpie the second admin of sjw for being transphobic.
Another instance I have to 🪞 posts from😭
Can bigots please giveme some 😴?
pls🙏
And he created the account just to libel you too😭😭
Some people are incredibly petty.
TheDude abides transphobic co-workers? :( What's the dirt on imaqtpie since I'm OOTL? Makes me think about moving my emulation community to another instance.
Regardless, that's some insane behaviour on display in the OP whoever it is.
Edit since I'm awaiting more information I should be less inflammatory.
They were banned a year ago from dbzer0 for transphobic comments, & also from blahaj. I just banned them from AN as well, to sync up the bans. The fact they are still an admin on SJW speaks volumes about the instance.
Beehaw was correct in defederation.
Even without the transphobia they still have a history of horrible moderation practices which allowed them to become a very spam-friendly instance.
Well said! I wish people researched sjw before jumping to the second admins defense.
I wish Stemats did his investigation on this. He knows how to do document bad actors. He doesn’t care I supported him when was targeted, I’m just a crazy vegan to him.
We must remind the public what those in power once said unless they apologized and made amends.
The admin was weirdly proud about their spiel about doing nothing for others being told to off themselves.
The fediverse deserves better.
Okay, thanks for the follow up. I also have to say, Fedecan is looking the other way too then, and I'll keep that fact in mind.
moving my emulation community to another instance.
Retrolemmy is actually considering installing pylova, until migrations gets implemented.
Wife is planning to jabberize pylova, or elisp her own jabber+thready instance software, as Movim already implements most of the modern XEPs.
But migrations c'est premier.
RetroLemmy is not considering that. Retrolemmy will remain lemmy, as the name suggests. However we do have a PieFed instance called Retrofed running piefed. I am aware of pylova, but I am not considering switching at this point.
Are you aware that piefed is silencing accounts and instances based on Rimu’s notions of “normalcy”?
@BurgerBaron@quokk.au is looking for a new instance to host !emulation@sh.itjust.works away from transphobes.
Will https://retrofed.com/ place strong anti bigotry rule in the instance? “Civil” means different things to bigotted instances.
What rimu does on his instance has nothing to do with retrofed/lemmy. Same as what the lemmy developers do has nothing to do with us either. We will not tolerate bigotry, transphobia, homophobia or other uncivilities. We want these instances to be about nostalgia and community. We do not intend to be a political instance, but will not tolerate bashing of minorities of any kind.
Civil, in our mind, means act like a decent human being with at least a baseline of respect for other people - no matter the background.
The issue is that Rimu is implementing these biases in code, as in, anyone that installs piefed, cannot see dbzero, anarchist.nexus, etc.. from both demo instances, to importing posts. He is taking his code politically, and charging innocent installers with his biases. I do not want that affecting retrofed, and other naïve installers.

Then please have a link expanding this definition to both instances, so joiners do not confuse it with bigotted civilities. I’ve experienced apartheid civilities by FHF. They do not mind genocide if my skin has melanin. They don't seem to mind trans Zionists at the least.
All default blocks and defederations have been altered during initial setup.
I wrote the rules early on when I just started retrolemmy, and thought it wouldn't need clarification, since civility in my mind includes intolerance of bigotry of any kind. But if you feel this is important, we will alter this for more clarification.
Edit: Clarification added to both sidebars
But if you feel this is important, we will alter this for more clarification.
I do feel it is more imperative than ever, as nations around the world are twisting what it means to be civil. Comrades of mine don't even use the word “civil” for “decency.” Where I live, it is “civil” to drag trans people off toilets and assult us. That is no “decency” I want to be part of. This is primarily why we make the distinction, as we do not want to be associated with bigotry.
To add to this, we also change many of the default settings that PieFed has. The most recent one being we disabled the controversial voting limits.
And to add even further: if the unpopular setting is not (or not easily) able to be disabled, we will consider an alternative.

Emigrating to retrofed, and becoming a voluntary defederation&censorship vigilante.😁🕷️
OT, seen the new «Petra Parker» trend?
I wouldn't switch to a Piefed instance so it'll probably be Quokk if I do which is fine with me even if it's not on an ideal retro gaming themed instance. It is what it is, but thanks for the help.
🫡
I’m just hoping @DosDude@retrolemmy.com sees how much Rimu has curtailed his fascist image of piefed, and does something against it.
If we can have two more pylova instances, with Events & Tags, that would be great.
I would hate to delete this account, and !kkg@retrolemmy.com too.
The only piece of software I'm familiar with in that comment is Pylova 😅. Sorry, I'm not really in the know or a web dev myself. If you felt like ELI5 what it means to Jabberize Pylova etc I'm all ears. After unruffled's comment I'll be moving the community. Do you think I should wait for your wife's promising developments or just move to our home instance, Quokk.au ? I don't have free time until next week at the earliest anyways.
Still need help?
Wait until @MoogleMaestro@lemmy.zip makes a formal decision, as I am concentrating all of my focus on emigrations. I cannot develop anything until my secure internet is up.
I am decades behind due to many capitalist oppressions.
just move to our home instance, Quokk.au?
That is an option I didn't see you were 2 steps ahead. Sure, more mirrors the better.
To be clear, I'm not the admin of Lemmy dot zip. I only moderate a few communities.
We are talking about retrolemmy. @BurgerBaron@quokk.au wants to mirror !emulation@sh.itjust.works away from SJW. I told oum to make !emulation@quokk.au while we we decided what to do with retrolemmy.
What do you mean decide what to do with retrolemmy? I'm out of the loop
Me and DosDude are the only admins of RetroLemmy and RetroFed. DosDude is the primary admin.
That's some petty bullshit for someone with way too much time on their hands. I'm sorry, that sucks.
So the spam is clearly abuse. That being said, you seem to be handling it in a terrible way.
The user in questions argument is pretty sound. No one saw the comment where you "called him out". It wasn't a rebuke, just the only comment in a thread with 14 upvotes.
Second, in the same day, you also "rebuked" three other people
I can see 2 polarizing instances thinking that way. But I do not respect Gedaliah, Jordanlund or Mr. Kaplan at all.
So I don't see why it couldn't be any of them if throwing darts around without thinking is what we are doing.
Then there is this:
So with no real proof about all this, you then went out of your way to ban him from your community. That's actually PTB behavior.
Idk if the guy is transphobic, Its the first time I hear about all of this. Just not a good look on your end tbh.
WTF
The amount of drama in this thread based on 'It happened at the same time, must be the same person', is insane.
Smug user thought they had me all figured out while having no clue that I could be a cat or a random cis-woman.
I've had multiple cats that are WAY too interested in playing on various keyboards.
Are you one of my cats?!?!
FWIW, I had nothing to do with this and I'm sorry this happened to you.
But also, you didn't rebuke me, I wasnt even aware of that comment until somebody notified me about this post and I followed the link above. Usually when you rebuke someone, you reprimand them directly. That was just you talking ill of me in a completely random thread with 14 upvotes that I obviously never would have seen unless I was stalking your comment history. But you're clearly trying to paint a certain picture with this post, so I understand why you phrased it that way.
Regarding my ban for transphobic comments, I'd just like to note that the comments in question were in defense of statements made by Nutomic. So whatever judgments you make about me and my server should logically apply to lemmy.ml as well. Let's also keep in mind that the comments were not made on a dbzer0 community, but they decided to blanket permaban me regardless. Here is the thread in question.
Also, you can see that I never did anything about this user. The name of this community has become so ironic it's wild. I'm quite possibly the least power tripping moderator on Lemmy, you can literally tell me to kill myself and you won't even get banned.
Lastly, I'd like to encourage all of the users who upvoted this post and commented here, as well as OP, to reassess what just happened. You're passing sweeping moral judgments and making significant decisions based on "information" that is purely imaginary. You aren't even doing the bare minimum of diligence to verify whether the post that you are reading is actually true. The actual evidence is non-existent, and even the circumstantial evidence makes very little sense if you think about it for a second.
I know you'll probably just call me a liar but maybe somebody will actually re-evaluate their behavior for once. I bear no ill will towards you or anyone, I simply try to identify what I believe to be true, and fight back against people when they spread falsehoods. One of those falsehoods was when people were calling Nutomic transphobic, and I thought that was untrue. Now I'm banned for being transphobic. Surely you can figure out how this chain of events ends, with an echo chamber where anyone who questions the narrative is immediately exiled. It's not a wise course of action, IMHO.
making sure you didn't miss this comment
FWIW, I had nothing to do with this and I’m sorry this happened to you.
I believe you regarding the modlog harassment unless good evidence countering that belief shows up.
One of those falsehoods was when people were calling Nutomic transphobic.
Thank you for linking the threads/comments in question. Our eyes aren't seeing the same things somehow, when it comes to Nutomic, but I'm far less charitable in judgement when it comes to tankies. Or those who willingly work alongside them or excuse their bullshit as you are doing. There's reason I moved account to Piefed from SJW (because it uses Lemmy software and because of who develops* it, not due to any SJW specific drama) and there's Rimu reasons I dumped Piefed for Pylova. Would I consider you yourself transphobic just based on this? No, but I see why others do. Apologist? Yes. Will I move communities? I'll sleep on it and see what the other responses to you say too.
Fair enough
Trans women are women, and they should be allowed to identify as such, fully participate in women's sports, have use of women's restrooms and other facilites, and be able to join women's organisations. Do you agree with this comment or not?
Edit: The silence speaks volumes.
What's the betting that the "antisemitic tranny" is just a slightly homely looking cis woman that doesn't like Palestinians being gebocided
