Not really "powertripping". Just pathetic. Consider this a notice to avoid feddit.org... I've unsubbed and blocked the instance.

We can't dehumanize fascists for their choice to dehumanize everyone for things outside their control though, because that would be mean, and hurt their sociopath feefees!

Europe stool idly by throughout the 1930's "tolerating" fascism, and the Nazi's killed over 100 million people. Don't make the same mistake as the radical centrists of history. Fascists will not afford you the same tolerance or courtesy.

feddit.org is a German hosted instance that has to abide by the German law. By that law, your comment falls into a grey-zone of legality. As much as I agree with you, they were right in removing your comment, as they are legally obligated to. They could get into trouble if they don't.

To quote the feddit.org sidebar:

Content that is illegal in Germany, Austria or Switzerland will be deleted and can lead to an immediate ban of the account.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

Can you quote an article of German law forbidding calling nazis (or any other violent political group) pieces of shit?

It is a genuine question - I am not familiar with German law.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 17 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Nothing easier than that: Art 130 StGB

Anyone who, in a manner likely to disturb the public peace,
1.
incites hatred against a national, racial, religious or ethnic group, against sections of the population or against an individual because of their membership of a designated group or a section of the population, incites violence or arbitrary measures, or
2.
attacks the human dignity of others by insulting, maliciously denigrating or slandering a designated group, parts of the population or an individual because of their membership of a designated group or part of the population,

The Post was in A Manner to disturb the public by being a public post. It attacks the human dignity by dehumanising a group based on their world view. Under current German law this is incitement to people.

Not that directly, but saying they have "zero worth" might be against GG Article 1

Human dignity is inviolable

Pretty sure dehumanizing can be prosecuted under this, even if its rather tame. Also there have been some laws over the last few years that criminalize violent speech on the internet and that give people the ability to report comments directly to agencies. These might make it quite dangerous for the instance to keep up these comments.

I assure you, German leftist often say way more intense stuff on a daily basis, but not on publicly hosted servers

Ah germs, I understand. Consistently on the wrong side of history. Can't even mildly criticise genociders in that shithole.

Hi, I happen to be a moderator on that community. I wouldn't have banned you but I won't put my partners' decision under scrutiny if this is a temporal ban. If this ban is permanent, feel free to DM me, I'd like to review what happened here.

PS. Moderating communities is exhausting! And terribly difficult given my account is not on feddit.org

[-] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 days ago

I'm going to assume this is a language thing. You really do sound like a nazi when saying "i wont put my partner's decision under scrutiny" when the decision is to act like a nazi. You may want to reword or recend that comment.

[-] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 32 points 5 days ago

And you sound like someone who is very quick to jump to conclusions without the full context.
They remove all hate speech, including any from actual nazi’s.
I don’t see how that makes anyone involved a nazi.

I can see where he was coming

A three day ban is now apparently Nazi. This word has truly lost all meaning. You are lost ideologically.

[-] anzo@programming.dev 10 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I only meant to say that changing another mod decision would only be taken, after discussion with them, if there's a clear and robust disagreement (a permanent ban). This, to me, is just a lack of agreement (a temporal ban).

A three day ban is now apparently Nazi. This word has truly lost all meaning. You are lost ideologically.

Always keep in mind the human on the other end. The human who has made their whole identity be about dehumanizing other people. Remember, remain respectful and considerate, only they get a pass at ignoring that.

Wait, why are governments suddenly falling to fascism!?!?

[-] bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works 22 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

If you don’t believe in human rights for Nazis, you don’t believe in universal human rights.

Right to life is a the most basic one.

Arguments about limiting free speech is on a different level.

Fascists not caring about free speech, but exploiting it in bad faith, is the core of the argument and very valid.

A three day ban is fine for something like this.

[-] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 6 days ago

For some context, this person is a Zionist, and with the genocide in Palestine, it’s not surprising that they would have nazi sympathies.

Nazis themselves do not believe in the right to life. They are like cockroaches. They cannot be allowed to spread.

cockroaches

You are using literal Nazi rhetoric. You have no moral standing.

[-] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Thank you for openly admitting that you cannot tell the difference between Nazism and opposition to Nazism. At least you admit it.

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago

You seem to be completely bereft of self awareness. It's remarkable really.

[-] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Y’all would’ve let the Nazis rampage across Europe to ‘not stoop to their level.’ I know for a fact, because you’re doing it now.

I believe the death penalty is immoral because I don't believe there is such a thing as an act so heinous that it would be moral to kill them after the fact.

There is room in my moral framework for killing in self defense or defense of others, but I leave that to require some kind of immediacy. And I think enemy combatants in a hot war are fair game, too, but that requires a hot war as a precondition, and I don't think we're there right now.

I give Nazis all the rights they want to give to me. And all the lefts too.

If you follow an ideology of intolerance, you are no longer entitled to tolerance from others. I will not engage in discourse with followers of an ideology that would enslave my family and likely deport, imprison or exterminate those who are of color and/or disabled.

That's what it comes down to. You can't have any sort of discussion after that point. The conversation has been reduced to either I stop you or you destroy my life. There's nothing more to be said.

If I'm not human in your eyes, you've already proven your inhumanity to me.

[-] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Europe is descending into far right fascism again. Even Germany’s highest ranking Green Party member was openly defending the genocide of children in Palestine.

We tried to tell y’all that defending Nazis in Ukraine would spread to accepting them all over the rest of the continent. You cannot allow Nazis to gain a foothold anywhere, or they will spread everywhere.

Well we also have plenty of fascists and are US vasals after all.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

842 readers

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.


Posting Guidelines

All posts should follow this basic structure:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


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.
