Sorry I’m a bit late to the party, but I was without home internet for a bit. If an admin can pull the deleted comment, please post it here for context. I don’t see it on the modlog. I think I said something like “Tell me you have a Hexbear alt without telling me you have a Hexbear alt.”

You admit it is used correctly in certain situations, but not entirely encompassing the full definition. If someone calls a Democrat a liberal, they’re still using the word correctly, even if they don’t realize why. Yes there are other uses that they are not aware of possibly, but that doesn’t mean they’re using it incorrectly. It’s a broken clock right once a day thing.

Now there are other times it is used as anything left of republicans, which is wrong. I’m highly aware of the global definition, but I appreciate trying to engage and educate about it.

It’s confusing in the context of US politics because it makes it sound like it’s intended to specifically mean the left side of mainstream US politics while leaving out the right. This seems odd to US readers as conservatives are more strongly liberal in that international economic sense.

Create post

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.
