Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

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.

Vegans being banned and comments being deleted from !vegan@lemmy.world for being fake vegans.

From my perspective, the comments were in no way insulting and just part of completely normal interaction. If this decision reflects the general opinion of the mod team, then from my perspective, the biggest vegan community on Lemmy wants to be an elitist cycle of hardcore vegans only, not allowing any slightly different opinion. Which would be very unfortunate.

PS: In contrast to the name of this community, I don't want to insult anyone here being a 'bastard'. I just want to post this somewhere on neutral ground. I would really appreciate an open discussion without bashing anyone.

Looks like the vegan admin has an aggression problem. Maybe he or she should at least occasionally eat some meat to calm the cravings.

Edit: /s, for the idiots who did not get it. Wow, are some people stuck up. Do they have the same problems that the admin had?

Even though I don't share her point of view, that part of your comment is totally inappropriate and rude.

How is it rude?

It's funny though

Look, sometimes we make jokes at the expense of others. Don't say you don't because we all have and do, all the time. Stop shaming someone just because they made a joke. Have a sense of humor, understand that sometimes it's funny to laught about going to hell. A jest here and there is perfectly fine. Also, it's not like this person was Gandhi, they deserve some jest

Making a joke about someone you don't regularly interact with even on a forum seems to be laughing about them rather than with them.

And sometimes a joke is just a joke. Learn to take one.

Once we get to the point where we are perfectly sensitive to every little irk that any person might have, we will be at the point where nobody interacts with anybody because we won't be able to as anything and everything can be insulting.

I have people joke about me all the time, it's fine. I'm not following this person around to yell it in their face, it's a comment in passing. It doesn't hurt anyone unless you decided to stop and make a big deal out of it.

Don't make a big deal out of it, it was a little joke, everyone is fine. I've been relentlessly bullied for my entire youth, and I learned the hard way that some of the bullying you call out on your own with your behavior. If you cry over every little innocent joke, people will pile on. My bullying stopped when I decided it would stop. I changed, the bullying stopped.
