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.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
Relevant comms
(Note that the quoted bit I'm replying to ends after the word "...issue" and my words begin at "What a fucking...")
In roughly 30 years online, across a wide variety of communities on a wide variety of platforms, zero of them would have removed that comment as "trolling."
Except .ml, apparently.
You're insisting that trump is the worse option despite the last 4 years of democrat rule leaving Americans and the objects of America's foreign policies materially worse than either trump's previous term or current actions. If you're not trolling then you're deluding yourself.
Edit: if you read "the democrats left people in a worse state than trump" and think that's endorsing trump rather than denigrating the democrats then you seriously need to reassess your privileges. To view that as praise requires complete detachment from either of their actions. Trump's first term was bad enough for Biden to sail into the whitehouse almost solely on the promise of not being trump, and he fumbled everything so hard that the entire US has regressed by decades, becoming less safe for women and minorities and leaving the poor and working class in more precarious a position than ever before, not to mention the whole genocide thing. If none of that materially affected you, when it affected enough of the US that trump was voted back into power, then you are operating on the vibes emanating from your ivory tower and your opinion is completely irrelevant.
Edit for db0: You don't need to edit your comments, I just can't directly reply to you because you're still banned from Hexbear for DM harrassment because you wouldn't stop crying about a temp ban. Anyway please tell me more about your smol bean president theory while I read this article about Trump overriding the TikTok ban
edit for db0: Of course, everyone's just making cruel rumours up about you, the admins just suddenly permabanned you for no reason a couple of hours after your temp. Half our community was there you dip, you had your meltdown in public. I suppose to a liberal criticising Biden would look like supporting Trump, though.
Edit: I mean you comments got stripped out with the ban but there are enough quotes to reconstruct your tantrum. The modlog tells a similar story, but I guess I misremembered the couple of hours - the admins got sick of you after 45 minutes of whining DMs.
Focus, please.
What matters here is if OP is trolling or not. Unless there's yet another hidden .ml rule like "if we assume you to be deluded we'll remove your comment", but then it should be explicit and properly tagged as such in the modlog.
From your other comment (to avoid double reply):
While technically your intent isn’t that of trolling
We [people in general] don't know someone else's "intent" over the internet, nor we should lie to ourselves (or worse, assume) that we do.
so mods have to take the more reasonable assumption.
No, they don't. To assume is not acceptable mod behaviour. (Or decent/moral human behaviour, when you're dealing with other humans.) Rule enforcement should be solely based on what is visible.
That includes trolling. Now, here's the question, does OP's comment constitute trolling? You should argue if it is or it is not; the rest is just skibidi toilet.
This doesn't seem like trolling, didn't even look like it was some over the top chain of replies. The comment isn't offensive either. Unless I'm missing context I don't think it was necessary to remove it.
That said I do disagree with the poster. For all the bluster Trump (infamous liar) has had on this matter, his actual actions have been considerably better than Bidens in just this short time. If that holds remains to be seen. He's been shit on everything else, which sucks.
