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.

I thought FUD was a cryptobro term.
Didn't know much about hilariouschaos, but it's definitely an instance I will be blocking after reading this thread. Any instance willing to put up with nazis should be shunned and other instances should defederate from them.
Edit: Apparently I already blocked the instance when I joined lemmy. Go figure.
You are spreading lies, HC does not put up with nazis. You will notice that nobody can seem to find any nazi content, despite claims that we are literally a nazi bar.
You're missing the point.
The "Nazi bar" analogy has nothing to do with literal Nazis except by way of explanation. People tried to explain this to you already.
The point is, when you allow people into your space who nobody wants anything to do with (and specifically because they will tend to attack those people and also they believe they are subhuman), you have decided that your space will be only for those people. Because everyone else will leave. If you don't want that to happen, don't let those people into your space. Up to you.
Tagging on this comment so people can see. HC is not exploding heads remastered lol idk why you ppl are obsessed with wanting it to be. I guess y'all are hard pressed on wanting an enemy or something? And that's what I don't understand.
I'm jumping in here to pretty much explain what HC is and why it was created. (Alice site admin here)
Let’s clear a few things up about HilariousChaosHC.
I know some of you are under the impression that Hilarious Chaos is somehow tied to Exploding Heads. It’s not. It never was. And it never will be. I’m sorry to disappoint you if that’s what you were hoping for, but it’s just not true.
Hilarious Chaos actually started as a WordPress site—a space for me to share the silly, ridiculous videos I make. The move to Lemmy happened for one simple reason: Lemmy has mobile apps, and I prefer using Android apps over websites. WordPress doesn’t have an Android app that works the way I want it to, so we migrated.
If any of you took five seconds to browse our communities, you’d see what Hilarious Chaos is really about:
Sloth Me
Christie’s Perspective
Governor Chris Christie’s Solo Videos
Farts and Poop
Shitty Ass Hilarious Chaos
Random Shit - Stock Talk Videos
One on One
The Delicate Daisy Den
What do all of those have in common? Pure silliness. This instance wasn’t created for political tribalism. It was created as a playground for my bizarre humor.
As we federated, people started projecting onto us—spreading this weird narrative that we’re somehow the reincarnation of Exploding Heads. We’re not. Exploding Heads is gone. Its not coming back. Move on.
Now, if we’re being really honest here, a lot of this drama comes down to one thing: Hilarious Chaos allows conservative content. We don’t allow Nazis. We don’t allow hate speech. But yes—we allow conservatives to post and speak like everyone else. And that rubs some of you the wrong way. So instead of being upfront and saying, “I don’t like that this instance allows conservatives,” you spin these false narratives.
If you're gonna criticize, at least be honest about what you're mad about.
You're right on most of that, but the few conservatives flood the news and politcs communities there.
Avoiding a few other ones, the instance is fine.
As so often happens:
“We’re just tired of these THOUGHT POLICE and want to make a place where we can finally just hang out and be comfortable without the fun police hanging over our shoulders censoring every word we’re free speech warriors come join us we’re better”
Turned out to mean:
“I want to be an asshole, you have no rights whatsoever, that’s a given and fuck you, and if anyone EVER infringes on any of my rights real or imagined in any way no matter how trivial, I will throw a hissy fit of thermonuclear proportions”
(I’m just assuming that this PTB is indicative of hilariouschaos / exploding-heads in general, I don’t have a very strong read on what they’re about. But I think it is a safe working theory.)
HC is not exploding heads. The actions of a community do not represent the instance itself.
You are welcome to start your own community on HC and moderate it as you see fit.
HC is not exploding heads.
Yes it is.
The actions of a community do not represent the instance itself.
I mean that's fair, but also, this is the #2 community there. The #1 community is an AI news summary place made by a person I find notably weird and disagreeable.
You are welcome to start your own community on HC and moderate it as you see fit.
Yeah, I'll get right on that. It sounds delightful.
Bro why u hating on my bot? What did it do?
I find you notably weird and disagreeable.
