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
@threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works seems to be protecting the alleged pedophile, transphobe and pedophile president installed and protector.
In !spaceflight@sh.itjust.works’s sidebar, there are no rules listed, and what do you know, I get a comment remove and instant perma-ban.
When are these guys going to understand they are destroying the fediverse, causing all these alt account creations, and don’t understand the difference between when to downvote and when to use their mod powers.
Calling out fascist enablers is worthwhile anytime and anywhere.
after everything that's happened this past year, you gotta be some kind of diehard chud to still be an elon fanboy
Most of them are:
A) Paid online PR firm employees (or chatbots; thinly disguised Grok)
B) Tesla stockholders (bagholders)
More the latter than the former, on a platform as obscure as this.
There's also
C: Brainwashed by A & B
In this case maybe dbzer0 and slrpnk should remove said mod from the communities they manage on those instances. Since that would be a huge conflict of interest for both of our instances' goals.
I would say sh.itjust.works should intervene too but they don't care considering they were happy to enable the harassment against me and others during the feddit.org saga.
I thought SJW was notoriously a fash scum safe haven
You thought right. The fact that they enable goat even when he's borderline encouraging harassment towards people was a big red flag for me, and I bet they wouldn't see anything wrong with this.
I went to block the community and I'm already banned. Time to manually add it to the list of bullshit communities.
E. How do you find the time to be a shithead to people not directly interacting with your communities AND moderate over ten dead communities? King of shit mountains.

Answer: Be a paid PR firm with multiple employees and LLMs helping you.
Lemmy turning into Reddit faster than I thought.
You should've seen the thread on !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone about pittbulls. Lemmy has devolved a lot more than people might realize.
Its been a bit since ive added a community to my block list.
Well, it had been a bit.
Honestly, I'm blocking things all the time, pretty much daily. Mostly just communities in languages I don't understand, games I don't play, music genres I don't listen to, etc. Anything that will never be relevant to me.
I've got a list going for about 3 years now, it isnt often I come across "just no" kind of things/people now.
On one hand it's not surprising that someone named threelonmusketeers would be an Elon musk fan but at the same time it's weird that someone could still be a fan of him in this day and age. I remember when everyone was a huge fan of him and was giving him complete uncritical praise but after what we all know now it's not reasonable to still be giving him praise or defending him against criticism.
PTB
Maybe they’ve been in a coma for 16 years and the last thing they remember from before was that Elon Musk is the real-life Tony Stark and that time he declared that reality is definitely a simulation to a crowd of sycophantic journalists while sliding back into the k-hole.
It’s a community about spaceflight. SpaceX is relevant there. It’s not like the article was kissing Elon’s ass. Let people talk about the space flight aspects without the juvenile insults. Plenty of space for that kind of stuff. You don’t have to shit in every Musk-adjacent thread.

It really is necessary, though.
It's not, Lemmy is already well aware of what an idiot he is, we don't need any more reminders. If you don't want to give Musk and his companies a platform, just downvote the post and move on.
Lemmy is already well aware of what an idiot he is
I don't know... Seems like there's some corners that are still ignoring that fact.
Which ones? I genuinely haven't seen a single post/comment here saying anything positive at all about Musk in all the ~3 years I've been here.
Well, the ones this whole thread is about, apparently.
No. Considering OPs comment to be off-topic and "Musk bad!"-spam isn't the same as liking him.
Your opening statement here points right to YDI.
If you're going to be hyperbolic to the point of absurdity, it's impossible to not believe you were intentionally fucking around in the original community.
The rest of your post here doesn't do anything to improve that appearance either.
.
Edit: yup, YDI. Your comment was off topic and useless. I strongly suspect you were rage baiting. If not, then you're just one of those people that has to inject venom into things for fun, which I tend to think is very much a detriment to any community. Was a permaban the right starting place? Maybe not, but damned if I wouldn't have been tempted to do the same thing. Some shit just does not do anything useful, and if someone is doing one of those things, they'll likely do others.
Maybe some PTB here, but I'm damned if I can make myself care
Second edit:
I thought I recognized your user name from a different comment you made. I did; your comment about the macbook neo was superb, hence why the user name stuck in my head. I'm not sure why someone capable of that kind of great comment would also make the one you're posting about. It does make me believe you aren't a chronic shit stirrer though, so I have to mea culpa on that bad assumption, even though it is usually a good one to make with the limited information in this post itself.
not sure why someone capable of that great comment would also make the one you're posting about
Because they're both great—the dissonance is your own intonation.
Thanks for your comment! Mod who made the decision here.
The reasoning behind the decision was more or less as follows:
And yeah, by this point, everyone knows "Elon bad". But stating the obvious doesn't contribute anything useful to spaceflight discussion.
You're not wrong yo take action. You were power tripping with the perma-ban. Simple 'as. Especially if it was not explicitly against the rules. Do you have a response to OP's reply?
At the time of my comment at least 7 people didn't seem to know or care Elon Bad.
Your reasons sound vaguely reasonable on the outset, however
The point is, either make those things the rules and then enforce them, or just down vote (or at best remove) but no need for the banning. c/elonsmagnificentspacetravel is also an option and I wouldn't commented in that either, even if it didn't have any rules.
