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.

Anyone, who doesn’t tread the „destroy Israel“ party line gets banned from !politics@lemmy.world
Edit: although people here hate Israel and different opinions with a passion, nobody could cite the actual rule I broke.
Yep. c/politics on .world is NOT neutral in any shape or form. Before the election, not only did I say that I was going to vote for a third party, but that third party is Socialist Workers Party. The SWP is also pro Israel (tho I'm neutral on that part---I'm all about their pro-union stance).
I STILL have people from .world stalking me, tracking me, and trying to get me banned from other instances. Even tho the election is over now and the drama was months ago. lmao
.world will absolutely fucking ban you for not agreeing with them. Lemmy, in general is quick to ban/block anyone who disagrees with them, but .world is especially pro-censorship.
The active suppression of discourse on Lemmy is astounding. The instances and communities are small, but often ruled with an iron fist.
I was the second most active poster in a community with half a dozen regular commenters. The mod got so butthurt over a minor disagreement at some point, he banned half the community members. Now he’s posting alone.

I‘ve seen this happen. Someone was banned from feddit.org as well for a mild pro Israel post on .world.
I'm trying dude. But I also don't want SJW to be a server that has anything to do with politics, so there's only so much I can do.
All I would say is that it's much better to have leftist political extremists controlling the discourse rather than than alt right psychos. Ideally the discussion would be more diverse and open minded, but with the tiny userbase that's not really an option yet.
Your best bet is to avoid discussing the Palestinian conflict entirely. Nothing that we say on Lemmy is going to change what happens IRL anyway.

Wait, so how come that !politics@sh.itjust.works is basically the recommendation for people wanting an alternative to !politics@lemmy.world? Are you admins unhappy with having that community on your instance?
I wasn't aware of that, but that's fine. The mods must be doing a good job because I never see reports from that community. I just want to make sure sh.it keeps working, and getting overtly political has a tendency to cause problems.

The chilling effect is real.
Yessir, working class V owner class.
I am a wage slave so I shill for that team.
Cheers!
How is that even relevant?
If you don't think this is relevant then you have not reached that stage in your personal development journey.
Majority of people never do but it ain't rocket science and enough bad events will force the most dense of us to rand recognize these material conditions imposed upon us.
Material conditions aren‘t sufficient to understanding or explaining the world. You will hopefully reach that stage in your personal development journey at some point.
Especially for understanding Israel/Palestine, focusing only on material conditions will lead to insufficient understanding and false interpretations. See the history of labor vs. revisionist Zionism or Arab nationalism and Baathism versus Islamism.
If u want a news community that won't ban u for dissenting opinions then ur welcome on !news_summary@lemmy.dbzer0.com . Follow instance rules and engage in good faith and I won't ban u. However i will warn u it would be up to db0 if this comment would be an instance rule violation. I will defend ur right to comment but sure as shit won't be defending what ur saying.
Thank you. I’m not on the Internet to avoid my views being challenged.
