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
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
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.

Not power tripping. This is a lefty community. so they hafve a right not to tolerate anti-leftists.
Note that a "tankie" is not anyone using a lefty slogan. Neither is every marxist. Neither is it every hexbear either (even if they're on an instance promoting tankie mentality). By using the word like that you are diluting it.
The mod of lefty memes is explicitly not in hexbear and .ml explicitly because they don't want to be under their influence. This should tell you something.
Using heavy-handed censorship to create an echo chamber should not be tolerated. The thing that separates tankies from other leftists is their use of authoritarian overreach to enforce their political views.
Do leftists deserve to have their own space where they don't have to argue with debatelords constantly? Some spaces are just for leftists and that's fine. Some spaces are just for non authoritarian leftists and that's also fine mPeople don't deserve a platform for their opinions everywhere. They have the rest of the internet for that.
And no, having a space for leftists is not what makes one a tankie
You mean... do leftists deserve a safe space for posting hate speech?
No, I don't think they do.
I don't think so either. But they do deserve spaces where they don't post hate speech.
Are you trying to say that "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds" is hate speech?
In any case, it's historically evident if you study Wiemar Germany or America during the civil right movement, hell a common theme in so many counter-revolutions is liberals using the working class to achieve their goals, then turning on them when their own privileged positions come into conflict with the interests of the workers, at which point there is nothing to protect those same from the conservatives.
Here's Stalin's assessment of Germany in 1924.
