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.

Apparently, bringing up China being authoritarian is now "bigotry". Makes sense now all those comments from .ml users that most people banned from .ml are for bigotry.

"Bigotry" = Anything negative about China or Russia now

It became a meme to depict Xi Jinping as Winnie the Pooh, and China / Xi's response was to completely ban all depictions or mentions of Winnie the Pooh.

There are many, many other words and phrases that just get scrubbed from any online post... these are called 'Sensitive Words'.
