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.

!196@lemmy.world probably did the biggest power tripping move since the creation of Lemmy with their failed attempt at migrating from blahaj to LW without asking the community first.
I wouldn't spend too much time investigating this, !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is a much better community
Holy shit! 10,000 users!?
Yes. Shows how much of the failure the migration attempt is.
OG shit posters aint gonna be living under lemmy.world censorship!
Blaze why do you hate that community so much? You commit so much time to tearing them down.
It's not hate, it's just not enjoying when a mod team decides to lock a community and force the members to move to another instance without even asking them first.
And the numbers speak for themselves: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=196&order=active_month
So what about all the people who were banned from blahaj back in december for dissent?
What 196 are they supposed to use?
Literally the biggest poster on 196 was banned and was forced to move over to .world despite them saying they are ok with Neopronouns. And everyone just called them a TERF instead of listening to them.
From my perspective that is not really an inclusive community concerned with protecting LGBTQ people, it's blatant suppression of dissent.
Most people who were banned for "Gatekeeping" then and since then were really just banned because the admins didn't like them despite them dispite not breaking rules.
You keep posting numbers, but you then ignore the dedicated base for the world community that is not going away.
So what about all the people who were banned from blahaj back in december for dissent?
No one was banned for dissent. People were banned for gatekeeping, misgendering and repeatedly and/or deliberately misgendering folk.
Most people who were banned for "Gatekeeping" then and since then were really just banned because the admins didn't like them despite them dispite not breaking rules.
The rule is don't misgender and gatekeep other folks and block or ignore them if you can't deal with their identity or pronouns. The modlog is right there. If you can find a single instance of someone getting banned without breaking that or another rule, I want to know about it
So nobody was banned for dissent, but you will unban people who were banned for Gatekeeping because they weren't actually Gatekeeping?
So if they weren't banned for dissent or Gatekeeping, what was the reason?
I let them know, but this is really inconsistent policy
The only people who were banned were gatekeeping other folks identities. If you find an example of someone that was banned who didn't do that, I will unban them.
If you find that inconsistent or confusing, I'm not sure what to tell you...
