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.

Rules

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.


Some acronyms you might see.

I said something along the lines of:

"Wow, I haven't had a reason to smile ear to ear in a while."

Along with

"Nah, the more dead ~~corpos~~ dragons, the better."

In response to some liberal going off about how violence is never the solution, not mentioning how this murdered dipshit has personally overseen a system that perpetuates harm, suffering and death (violence) in the name of profit.

...

Good ole' civility clause.

Whats the paradox of tolerance?

.world mods have never heard of it I guess.

Sorry for the double reply. I'll create a list of alternatives to .world communities here; I'll also add the ones you guys suggest, as long as not from .ml (as .ml and .world are apparently peas from the same pod.)

technology: !technology@lemmy.zip

politics: !uk_politics@feddit.uk (UK), !pleasantpolitics@slrpnk.net (USA), !canadapolitics@lemmy.ca (Canada), !australianpolitics@aussie.zone (Oz), !politics@beehaw.org (allegedly world, in practice USA)

news: !world@quokk.au , !globalnews@lemmy.zip

comic strips: I couldn't find any general comm, but there's !cyanideandhappiness@lemm.ee and !thefarside@sh.itjust.works

microblog memes: !best_of_mastodon@sh.itjust.works , !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works , nonpoliticaltwitter@civilloquy.com

political memes: !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca , !leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com

memes: !memes@sopuli.xyz

ask lemmy: !asklemmy@lemm.ee

movies and animattion: !movies@lemm.ee , !showsandmovies@lemm.ee , !animation@lemm.ee . Specifically for Japanese anime there's ani.social (the whole instance).

EDIT: apparently the moderators apologised, including in this thread. So what I said that both are peas from the same pod might be inaccurate - it's a matter of scale.

.It's funny that, when I created a list of .ml alternatives, some entitled prick was lying/assuming/bullshitting that I was trying to kill LW - since I didn't list any LW comm. If the prick said the same now it would be true. [Still blocked because I got no time for assumers.]

I find it very good that this community is becoming the de-facto central point to ensure mods are kept in check and that such comments can be made and found.

Ditto; I don't know if you planned this role for the comm, but it feels like a natural evolution - from complaining about mod abuse to acting against it.

I love me some emergent order.

They are not peas from the same pod though: Lemmy.world mods have already apologized, made some changes to the rules to clarify their points (apparently? I haven't tracked them down yet), and resolved to do better.

Among other places, here: https://lemmy.world/comment/13815531.

In contrast, Lemmy.ml admins have only ever doubled down on their decisions, afaict.

They overlap ever so slightly, yet are worlds apart, imho. Still, it's so good to have options bc if someone doesn't want to be in a particular community, it's great to have the option to jump and be elsewhere. That said, I appreciate many things that Lemmy.World offers to us: especially !tenforward@lemmy.world for funsies, but moreover entirely free access to the best parts of the Fediverse, as well as volunteer, unpaid devotion to moderate communities hosted there. Beggers cannot be choosers, but also, these mods are not billionaires - they are regular people just trying to improve things in their corner of the world, as best as they see fit. Which if we don't like, we'll need to step up and help out ourselves to aid and create new communities to replace those on that instance. That's my 2¢ anyway:-D.

I'll edit the comment addressing it, since not doubling down is a thumbs up in my book.
