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.

Using your mod powers to decide who is allowed and not allowed to speak is not very anarchist of you, @mambabasa@slrpnk.net

I haven't seen evidence of a strong majority being fine with the decision.

Among slrpnk commenters on this post I believe the split was 3-3, or possibly 3-2-1.

Taking into account the comments from dbzer0 folks, it goes to 5-5 or 5-4-1.

Self-proclaimed anarchists from other instances represent, by my accounting, 1 more "for" and 4 more "against."

The other comments from users who may or may not identify as anarchists appear to slant towards against by about the same margin.

It could be that one or both of us carries a bias in how we perceive support that aligns with what we already believe. I tried to be cognizant of that when I scrolled through to count, but I'm fallible. If I've misrepresented, it wasn't on purpose. That said, I think at best there's a somewhat even split. I don't think you can claim that as "most folks" being fine with the actions taken.

Additionally, the way the mod conducted themselves in these comments doesn't inspire much confidence that they moderated in good faith
