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
Actions / comments showing that Piefed.social supports Palestine
Ah yes, watermelon emoji, Palestine flag, very nice.
Now ask them if they support armed resistance against the IDF violating & massacring people. Whether they support Israel's right to exist, whether they think settlers are civilians like anyone else.
You're simply not built for this are you OP? You would have figured it out years ago. If you "support Palestinians" you don't just cry about them being killed by a system you are complicit in. You at the very least support the political line of Hamas with regards to its ally & benefactor Iran.
That's what it means to actually fight back. Not just say shit online.
At this stage of the genocide, if you don't support Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad or Hezbollah or Ansarallah or the Islamic Republic of Iran, you don't really support Palestinians. There is not a single org or alliance or coalition that has done more to help Palestinians nor frustrate the machinations of the Zionists than the Axis of Resistance. There is no difference between the Iranian girls who were martyred by US bombs dropped by US pilots flying US jets and Palestinian children who were martyred by US bombs dropped by Israeli pilots flying US jets, so why should only one set of victims receive compassion while another set of victims gets some segue into "I support the Iranian people, but blah blah theocracy blah blah authoritarian blah blah?"
Why is your account marked as a bot?
I don't reply here often because when people make posts like this, especially on other people's behalf I usually get harassed and insulted (this one's no different, considering the transphobia in the comments). But I do have to clarify because it's important.
Rimu has recently been defending the actions of MrKaplan, who has been using his power as a LW admin to promote Zionism, and by defending that they are indirectly apologizing for Zionism. It doesn't matter if they supported Palestine before or if they still do now. They're currently apologizing for and defending a Zionist. Which is why they were banned. They are not the first person banned for that either, a lot of LW accounts have been banned for Zionist apologia and many more will likely follow.
It would be kind of like if someone who's a trans ally started defending someone who was insulting trans people for getting gender affirming care. It doesn't matter how much they supported trans people in the past or claim to support them now. They are defending and promoting a transphobe.
I gotta say it's extremely telling how that coinciding with this series of events a handful of brand new accounts popped up just to spew transphobia and nazi shit in addition to the ones just being zionist/defending the LW mods across the various threads.
wonder what's up with that 
anyway the abuse and harassment you get is gross, fuck those assholes
MM and draconic have this sort of "fan club". For some reason, they have pissed off the same kind of chud who keeps making new accounts for this shite.
Hmm, maybe I should implement a way to only allow trusted instances to comment on some communities. This way it can prevent people abusing instances with lax registration to make these accounts just to post toxic shite. Lemmy 1.0 can't come fast enough so I can finally make plugins
So you’re banning people for defending an action of someone you don’t like? Doesn’t matter what the action is, just who made it? And that’s ban worthy, regardless of if the action is entirely justified or not?
But both rimu and Skavau are defending Kaplans actions of defedederating anarchist nexus and mostly likely db0 soon. Hell rimu followed without question.
Actions always speak louder than words (or in this case pictures)
What a shock that Rimu hates antizonists more than mass murder.
Important note that this is just a community ban, not an instance ban. Mm is not an admin.
That said, MM has always been a bit trigger happy. This wouldn't be even noticed if they didn't moderate so many comms, or if the modlog would automatically conflate all comm bans by one mod into a single entry.
Anyway, I do find that jumping to call people zionists or nazis at the drop of a hat is not healthy
Rimus comments in question. Seems like hes very concerned about people defending luminous, less so about the admin of the largest instance being a zionist.
deserved it, 'flags in banner' is pretty tangential and no defense for behavior. mrkaplan is very clearly a zionist and anyone apologizing for him is sus
I will say I prefer 'death to zionism' because it's the ideology of that ethnostate which should die and is not worth saving. people can learn
Hitting exactly the root cause here - rimu defending Kaplan, consistently and disturbingly, while going after Luminous.
I will say I prefer 'death to zionism' because it's the ideology of that ethnostate which should die and is not worth saving. people can learn
chef's kiss, nothing to add.
Not a complaint about you @Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus BTW, but I think you'd know that. Just commenting on my agreed preferred phrasing.
nah don't worry about it, you're both not wrong that this phrasing would have been better for a display name.
I don't have much informations about the admin and piefed. Does they generally remove zionist comments and ban zionists users?
Putting a Palestinian flag means nothing, if Israeli apologist still run free and people rejected Palestinians right to armed resistance
Wow
