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.

Absolutely no jokery allowed it seems XD
They believe because pooh is yellow in color they it aligns with racist stereotypes about Asians. They refuse to accept the origin of the meme was xi and Obama walking in a fashion just like pooh and Tigger.
But Obama is not a tiger, is not orange. The meme has nothing to do with yellow.
You got me curious about the origins of this. I'm pretty sure this image of Pooh and Tigger was made after the photo was taken, but it does seem to illustrate the point pretty well.
what is the tiger's name?
Lol that's a ~~paddlin~~ bigotry
Until .world gets around to finishing defed'ing from the last of the Tankie Triad, best we can do is avoid generating anything on .ml. No comments, posts or upvotes. If it's a non-tankie post cross post it to the closest relevant non-.ml community
Please do. Dealing with you right wing bigots is as annoying as visiting reddit is now that you people ruined that site.
Your comment got me into a really neat rabbit hole about censorship in China, thank you!
I started here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China
And got to all sorts of sad and interesting places.
Ask a Chinese person if Winnie the Pooh is censored. Or any Chinese source.
It's simply not. It's a myth like the social credit score system. I sincerely don't understand how you people believe the things you believe. If I say the government in america censors Oreos because some Americans call black people that are too white Oreos... You'd easily understand it's bullshit.
Really? It's a myth? I had no idea! To learn more, I used China-based Deepseek to find more information!
Aaand it broke, oh no!
An LLM fails to do something? Must be a day ending in y.
Why does it exclusively fail when discussing topics I have been led to believe China censors online, but works perfectly otherwise?
Because the host you're using, or the specific model, has those censors enabled to follow state law, just as all US hosted LLMs will have to call the gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America within the year.
Use the uncensored model and run it locally. Or better yet don't use LLMs whatsoever since they destroy the earth faster than crypto while providing even less benefit.
Ah, I see, so the China-based model can't answer any questions about China due to censorship!
Thank you for helping me see just how bad censorship is in China, I had no firsthand experience until now!
It stops you from trying to generate proof of obvious misinformation. It stops the fascist technique of JAQing off, which you've been doing to try to prove whatever misguided point your owners put in your head.
I do hope you people get better before you get put in camps.
I simply asked a Chinese source, as you requested, about Winnie the Pooh in China, and other things I heard China censors. Every single time, it was censored.
Don't be cross with me because reality conflicts with your beliefs, calling someone a fascist and wishing them to be treated as an Uyghur just because you're proven wrong is frankly sad.
Ask a Chinese person if Winnie the Pooh is censored. Or any Chinese source.
It’s simply not.
Because the host you’re using, or the specific model, has those censors enabled to follow state law,
🤣
I'm dying laughing, they literally requested I ask a Chinese source, I did and it proved them wrong, beyond parody XD
