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.

the glorious Chinese workers paradise

The scary thing is they genuinely believe this.

I had responded to a tankie who claimed that China wasn't an oligarchy by sarcastically asking if they thought the workers control the government, and like 5 different (or are they?) hexbears descended on me to tell me that yes, akshually, they do (and therefore must be the most self loathing workers on the planet, if those are the conditions they inflict on themselves, and curiously keep "electing" the same authoritarian, billionaire, dictator to be at the top of their ~~classless~~, ~~moneyless~~, ~~stateless~~ society). ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

E: on a side note since I've got you here and you're an admin, I thought this instance was defederated from hex, and I have them on my personal blocked instance list, should I still be seeing their users?

You can still come across their users if they post in a community external to Hexbear, even if you have instance blocked them. Our instance actually isn't defederated from Hexbear fyi. They mostly leave us in peace nowadays though, so unless you go looking for a fight on their instance, you're unlikely to run into problems with them.

Aww, why the downvote @Cowbee@lemmy.ml? That was one of my more diplomatic posts too lol.

To be fair, didn't mean to downvote that one.

I remembered seeing some drama between the two instances from before I moved over to db0, so I just assumed off the back of that, but good to know, thanks! Definitely don't go looking for them, I have better things to do with my time and little remaining sanity lol
