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.

Honestly, I'm not mad, its just funny how state/corporate sponsored violence is all okay but a pleb making a joke (its not even a real threat c'mon) is not okay.

Well the single minded American people are attacking random McDonald's workers, they're in the clear.

I got banned from world for similar. Also got banned for stating a fact: democrat joe Lieberman single-handedly killed the single payer option during the passage of obamacare/aca.

The libs can’t cope.

Edit for the libs:

A senator from Connecticut, the insurance capital of the world, became the industry’s go-to guy. Insurers had spent years investing in Sen. Joe Lieberman, a former Democrat-turned-Independent. During the reform debate, the watchdog group Public Campaign Action Fund, (now called EveryVoice), called Lieberman an “insurance puppet,”noting that insurers had contributed nearly half a million dollars to his campaigns over the years.

The Democrats needed Lieberman’s vote to get reform passed, and insurers knew it. Shortly before the Senate was set to vote on the bill, Lieberman said he would vote for the bill only if the public option was stripped out.

Cope and seethe libs. Your electoralism and ability to be easily fooled by the DNC’s lies but but republicans! have led us to this mess. And yes, it goes without saying the republicans are no better. But who needs enemies when one has backstabbing democrats for friends? But if we vote harder we’ll have the votes! no, you fucking won’t. Another fucking patsy will make sure to torpedo any kind of progressive legislation, anything to the left of neoliberalism. See Manchin, Sinema, and the fucking senate parliamentarian for examples.

Wow, you were banned for stating a known and proven fact about Lieberman? That's actually insane

Yeah, it would have been a lot better if leftists people simply hadn't voted in the first place. Having a Republican in his seat instead would surely have improved things

It wouldn’t of changed anything. How are you not seeing the logic?

Meh, if you're still on that comm at this point you deserve it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It’s sorta default to start there since it’s the biggest instance. Obviously you can start anywhere but someone new to the fediverse is still learning how it all works.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

No, I'm referring to the community, not the instance

Is there an alternative community for US News? There is [email protected] for USA discussion, [email protected] for world news, but not sure about US news

Maybe [email protected] ? Although that admin is known to be power tripping: https://feddit.org/post/5508290

There is a not a really good alt yet, but I personally have it blocked due to other issues

A successful alt would need a high level of traffic, or posting many new things a day. Some have one, some have the other.

Would be delighted to find one

I just double checked, [email protected] has 5k monthly active users, seems okay.
