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.
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.

YDI for muddling a good animal liberation argument with absolute nonsense about China.
You linked a source for the animal abuse, can you link a source showing with images/video the CPC detaining Uyghurs from the past two years?
Clearly there is a reason you are on .ca and not with the based vegans on .vg or vegantheoryclub
Talk about an ironic username. YDI for going into a thread and immediately being accusatory and hostile towards others. This sort of behaviour would be unwelcome in most communities regardless of being on .world or not. If you had phrased things in a different, less hostile way (perhaps "I do not feel comfortable seeing horses in captivity") then you likely wouldn't have faced serious backlash or moderator action.
Regardless of what your beliefs are and how strongly you feel about them, being a hostile jerk will get you booted pretty fast from almost any community and it's best to refrain from doing so if you actually want anyone to listen.
So, let's get this straight, you went into a thread, harassed and insulted someone , and you think that's okay?
Nah, not only did YDI, YTA. A giant, gaping, post gangbang A.
If you bothered to look into it at all, you'd know that poster takes care of horses who would otherwise be neglected by their owners. I've had a few conversations and they definitely care a lot about the horses' well-being.
YDI GFY GG NO RE
Yeah no you clearly started the flaming.
Is all pet ownership torture? Aren't dogs technically just Stockholm syndromed into loving their owners?
Get off the internet for a while and go enjoy the weather.
You're welcome back when you feel better.
Nah fuck that dude. Don't come back with that negative bullshit, @Sunshine. Go to hexbear where they tolerate dipshits and trolls
Hexbear wouldn't want her she is a CIA mouthpiece
Ban evasion so you can continue your triad against another user for their completely innocuous post definitely justifies a permanent ban from that single community.
I agree with that other user, go touch grass. You can use that time to do a lot more for animal rights than arguing with random Lemmy users ever will.
I believe you've misunderstood the exchange, which is understandable as it's not that clear. Op clarified in another comment that they were informing the mod that another user was ban evading.
Tirade?
You're spitting venom about a horse who seems to be really well taken care of. That is a huge barn, a sizeable paddock and he even has a nicer shirt than I do.
It's a community for posting pictures. No one wants to deal with your blatant negativity, scathing sarcasm and extremist views.
Ban justified.
I won't talk about the [de]merits of what you're defending.
YDI:
99.99% of Lemmy boils down to "communities where you can discuss deep issues, and soapbox to your heart's content". Then there are a few islands of fluff, where people share pics and make some casual, non-divisive conversation. LW/c/pics is clearly one of those islands; yet you're trying to trigger a discussion there? "My right to soapbox precedes the right of everyone else to see fluff".
Crazyblu is spot on: you were being passive aggressive. You could have voiced the exact same discourse ("I'm against animals being chained" or similar) in a more polite way; or, if you can't be polite due to the topic, at least be upfront with the aggressiveness, or use a dry tone. Pass-aggro is the worse of both worlds.
The user is clearly disengaging without arguing ("I'm not having this conversation"), but you're still insisting.
BPR:
Unless context dictates otherwise, an omitted subject gets interpreted as the first person, so your comment reads like "[I] made a new account [to] circumnavigate the block…". As such, the mod interpreting this as you admitting ban evasion is totally justified.
When you find a user evading a ban, instead of interacting with them, you report the user to the admins.
Even then, IMO the mod should have checked if you were evading a ban, based on usernames or asking the admins for help. That's why I'm calling this BPR instead of YDI.
"Ban evading fuck off back into your hole cretin" is not an acceptable reason. You don't insult users in mod logs.
I don't think this is a Lemmy world issue. I think on many instances you would also see the same behavior. Somebody sharing something genuinely, innocently, and it's being leveraged and twisted into a political moment. That discourages people from sharing.
Did you expect the screenshots you posted to make people want to side with you?
OP I think you should relax. I get what you're trying to do but you have to understand "Okay we're going to ban you" as a very predictable result of the personal nature of how you've chosen to approach it, and repeatedly trying to send the same message to people who have indicated they want you to stop. YDI
You do seem antagonistic in an unsolicited way dear. I understand the sentiment.
Once upon a time I worked security for some horse jumping shows and a rodeo. I'm certainly no expert. The events happened on the property of some very rich people and I spent a lot of time around the groomers and horses. I was rather surprised by them overall. It didn't seem like many wanted to get out or were mistreated by captivity. Many were mischievous and looking for any excuse to be obnoxious. I had my two way radio pilfered on multiple occasions. There was an occasional escapee, but they never seemed to be actually trying to escape. There were times that it was obvious they knew where to go if they wanted to escape and they would threaten it like a cat that is not getting enough attention and decides to become a gravity fizicist, but it was always like someone looking for drama and proud to show off how they figured out the latch of their stall. They weren't stressed but were very playful in all the circumstances I saw.
Perhaps it is my own imprisonment from physical disability here, but I never got the impression that the horses really didn't like their lives. Perhaps it is due to so many generations of domestication, but they all seemed alright for the most part. The jumpers were fed lean before events and so they were about as moody as I was before I did a bicycle crit race back in the day. It is just something to think about that perhaps things are more complicated and your ideal picture of a horse in the wild is not as related to the reality of a domesticated horse. Many likely wouldn't survive in the wild. This is a subject I very much struggle with on the human side. I struggle to be content within my limitations and dependence on others now. Without my familial support I cannot survive, and that support has a very real and upcoming limit that is likely to cause my very real premature demise.
It is not about right or wrong or sides for me here. I'm just sharing my one perspective that things can be more complicated dear.
Also, the women that come to jumpy events were beyond hot. Many showed up in the middle of the night, by themselves, and worked far harder than most men after driving hundreds to thousands of miles. Their relationships with the horses were remarkable too. From what I saw, it was very much a collaborative type of relationship. I'm not saying all are like that, but all that I was around were like that. One of those horse ladies can adopt me any time, and I pretty much live in a stall already. I would greatly appreciate someone feeding me and keeping me on my physical therapy routine. We all adapt to our own levels of normal, but so far I would still rather live than die even in my circumstances.
Civil: adequate in courtesy and politeness.
Your comments are discourteous and impolite. YDI.
Lemmy.world is a trash instance and i would not mind seeing all their servers burned to ashes, but OP is also a pearl clutching turd for shitting on cute horse pics. Fuck you Sunshine
Just skimming your pictures I’ll tell you to just block anyone the first chance they’re rude. Makes life here better.
