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
The most funny fact here is the articles that came in the same time.
Zelensky predicts that Putin 'Will Die Soon'
And from the New York Times:
It just shows that Lemmy or Reddit, both have terrible mods and both can silence your voice on command without any reason.
Everything is russian propaganda for these jingoists fuck. The same politicians that spent the last 20 years telling everybody that we had no money for hospitals and trains are now saying that we should give our money to their weapon industry friends so we can buy bombs.
PTB they say only they have free speech while banning anything which goes against their narrative.
You’ve operated this account for 30 days and originated over 600 posts with it. Now you’re going to whine about how hot the kitchen is?
So... are you shaming me for talking about unfair treatment of mods in a community that has the whole purpose of talking about mod power abuse?
LOL, no, the message I’m sending is completely different from that.
Which is?
I'm gonna ask a question: has ever a single post being removed for being european propaganda?
Yeah, UK based stuff (SkyNews etc.) gets removed often 😏
Well your linked article can be understood and pretty hard retelling of Russia‘s and thus Trump‘s narrative, while denigrating European perspective and interests.
The mods aren’t terrible if they try to filter what the consider blatant propaganda from a dubious publication.
It could also be banned for low quality.
You are correct that there isn’t a lot of diversity of thought and perspective in many subreddits/communities. The overall extreme polarization has strengthened the echo chambers.
This is republished by ZNetwork which is pretty reputable source.
It's not just diversity, but a straight banning to cover up the reality.
The community should not be a personal feed for the mod, otherwise what is the point of the community.
In general, Thank you for your understanding and comment.
I agree with others that article was 100% Russian propaganda. Rule 2 of that community is "No links to misinformation". So YDI in that respect.
A month seems like an excessive ban for a first? infraction though - I would have thought a simple removal could have sufficed. So I guess there's a bit of PTB too.
How is it a propaganda?
With all respect to you, Logic does not work with vibes.
There has to be a proof, then a conclusion.
Otherwise, it's meaningless.
Again, I highly respect you. But your opinion does not make any sense to me.

Tbh that's a bit like saying, "I mean no offence, but fuck you in the face", lol. Here's three clear examples:
I mean, it's just laughably campist nonsense designed to convince people the country that brutally invaded it's neighbour is the innocent victim here, and everyone else in Europe is a warmonger simply for helping Ukraine to resist the invasion. These are all common Russian state media talking points, that's why it's propaganda.
Again, I highly respect you. But your opinion does not make any sense to me.
Same
Appeal to rules and “due process” isn’t going to work like it did a few years ago.
You showed up bulldozing articles day 1. No one thinks you’re just some everyday community member who needs to be protected from the mean old mods.
So you are saying that contributing to Lemmy regularly, forfit any right to call out power tripping mods?
This is one of the most illogical comments I read on Lemmy.
It's like you were trying to make a argument but you forget to connect it together to make sense.
Reposting news articles especially Russian propaganda variety is hardly "contributing to Lemmy regularly"
Where exactly did I do that?
just have to read first 3 paragraphs from your links to see it's russian bullshit. dude, use your critical thinking
People are screeching about misinformation and propaganda without actually saying which things are falsehoods. Pretty entertaining.
Most opinion pieces and even purportedly neutral news articles are polemic, Russian or otherwise. Don't expect a community called Europe to want content that isn't pro-European jingoism. Only they are allowed to do it!
Everything in that 'article' is false it's complete bullshit about agressor wanting peace and countries that very reluctantly help defender are 'warmongers', it really is pretty entertaining.
The same articles are written every time Europe decides to bomb or occupy a country in Africa or Asia. Coalitions of the willing in Iraq, Libya, Yemen. The list goes on. Our bombs drop freedom, theirs don't
You got some receipts from that specific community or are you just talking in general?
there’s that whataboutism we talked about
Right, which is why I advised OP to avoid places which won't like the wrong kind of jingoism. You're understanding now.
Your article do looks like Russian propaganda
How so?
Most points are laughable, including "Macron’s nuclear remarks: The French president proposed sharing nuclear deterrents within Europe and only stopped short of declaring war on the Russian Federation." Why does our deterrence feel like a threat for Russia ? What are you planning with 30% of your government's spending on military ? 🤣
Your comment does not show how is this a propaganda.
It only shows that you disagree with the article.
Not everything you disagree with is a propaganda.
I'm highlighting that EU's deterrance is interpreted as a threat by Russian, who try to expand their border by mean of war (or special military operation 🤣) and spend 30% of their government's budget toward military readiness, because they prepare for war against other countries.
Very. I'm not mad.
