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.

Ban reversed and comment restored. I'm not sure if it was done by the original mod but it seems like there were some processes in the background and accountability was taken. I'll call that an un-PTB :3
Good ending to the story.
Glad you got it fixed. Unfortunately, mods sometimes forget their role is to facilitate conversation, not control it.

Broadcast it when someone opens up the mod controls, put it on the site banner, print it on a T-shirt.
It's actually really valuable even when there is an objectively correct answer, to let the people who understand that correct answer speak with the people who think something else, and let everyone just work things out. Just shutting down anyone who has the "incorrect" opinions right away out of the gate, and telling them they'll be banned if they keep it up, is some culty nonsense.
Nice to occasionally read something positive here. Thanks for the update!
Thank you for sharing the update !

Here’s a third thank you!
Glad to see it was reversed!
There are a lot of mods who think their job is to remove any opinion that they personally disagree with, in order to keep the conversation "correct."
The fact that your opinion here was objectively the correct one is just icing on the cake (and for some reason that additional irony is commonly seen when this mod philosophy is involved, I honestly have no idea why.)
I won't say PTB, since it looks like cooler heads prevailed and everything's fine now, but in my opinion this mod should be scheduled for some additional training or something. IDK, maybe it gets boring if you have the mod controls and it's a little exciting event whenever you get to jump up and start using them, I don't really know. Anyway glad it worked out.

Dude, you had your own instance, I think you have a pretty good idea of what it's like. lol
Thanks for the update. Glad you stood up for yourself and glad that the people involved did the right thing. That's what's so awesome about this community!
