I was in an incident, which I explained elsewhere, that led to people complaining about me in YTPB and by extension in Ask Lemmy. Then, when sharing my perspective, I was asked by those to whom I shared it to share it in YPTB only for those in charge there to give what amounts to a signal of not caring about said perspective, just the one that is there. So I’m going to share it here instead.
It breaks rule 1
Rule one says “post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s)”.
I am a mod.
It was about a ban.
Therefore it was “about bans or other sanctions from mod(s)” as rule one says.
It doesn’t say the discussion itself can’t be from the mod. It just states the action in question must be “from mod(s)”.
Unless there is something lost in translation here, that is.
If not, you might as well have said “I simply don’t like you” as the reason, and you being in charge there, I would’ve accepted my fate, even if I still would’ve spoken about it somewhere.
The last time this happened, the blanket explanation given to me was hinted to be a euphemism for discriminatory sentiment.
It’s nothing to do with you. I don’t know you at all. I don’t play rules-lawyer games. The rules have been clarified to you now and most people seem to understand them as well that posts have to be in AITA style about a mod action affecting them. Exceptions to this are at my discretion in the benefit of the community health.
I gave you already an alternative option to pin your reply to the OP. If you think I’m being a PTB, feel free to make a post about it in YTPB.
