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.

Mate, they’re not a bloody fucking government themselves are they? Talk about 2+2=7 alright…

And it’s not a strawman, it’s not in response to anyone. It’s at blurst whataboutism.

The morality of authoritarianism does not "magically" change depending on who does it; it's still the same outcome, only in a different scale. If one is bad, the other is also bad. And someone doing what they denounce as bad is hypocrisy.

And you could bring up a thousand more arbitrary restrictions like you already did twice, like, "it isn't hypocrisy because today is Friday lol". It still won't change shite dammit.

And, as I already showed, even if your insane troll logic was valid (it is not), it doesn't defend the bullshit/assumption/lie that OP was defending USA.

You're being a bloody muppet and odds are that you know it.

Talk about 2+2=7 alright…

What I said is not false, let alone evidently false.

And it’s not a strawman, it’s not in response to anyone.

Yeah, because that community and the post totally exist in a vacuum. They are totally not addressing what people often say, that China is authoritarian. Right??? /s

It’s at blurst [worst?] whataboutism.

Nope.

Whataboutism is a diversion tactic. It would be whataboutism if OOP used that argument to divert attention from China into USA; they are not doing it, the central theme of the community is USA.


In case someone complains about the wall of text: Brandolini's Law.

It does change when it comes to voluntary spaces. Their instance is like a club, it can impose its own rules on itself it’s not hurting anyone. A state imposing rules affects everyone and it’s damn hard to move.

You cannot begin to compare state oppression to Lemmy moderation.

You: "ackshyually the comm isn't AntiAuthority"
Me: [shows that it doesn't matter]
You: "ackshyually they aren't a government"
Me: [shows that it doesn't matter]
You: "ackshyually it changes when it's a voluntary space"

You're changing the goalposts again.

You cannot begin to compare state oppression to Lemmy moderation.

You: "elephant shit is not mouse shit. Thus mouse shit is not shit".

To be blunt I'm not wasting my time further with you.

Listen, you and I know you’re not that stupid, so stop pretending to be.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Apparently you are.

You think it’s fine to go into a community to harass it, yet complain when you get banned.

You act like it’s totally fine to go into these spaces and be a dick, because you believe its hypocritical that they treated an online community differently to a fucking nation state?

Stop pretending to be a fucking dickhead, you can clearly see what Op did was wrong but because you don’t like the community you think it was okay to be done.

How did they "harass it". You still haven't managed to explain that. The person the mod replied to never said the US is not authoritarian. They can disagree with the mod and still think the US is authoritarian. Stop being a dumbass and defending another dumbass.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

By going in there and being deliberately inflammatory and antagonistic?

Shit even this fucking post has lead to that community being bigraded by dumbcunt dickheads like yourself.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And they fucking deserve it, so I hope they enjoy their comeuppance. What are you gonna do about it, bitch some more?

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 2 points 1 week ago

Their comeuppance for running a Lemmy community?

Grow up you insufferable little fuck.
