With the given context kinda leaning BPR: looks like a thread getting way out of hand/off-topic for what seems like splitting hairs on what amounts to localization? Not an express rule-break but a charged situation that needs a cooldown.
Given I had to dig through the modlog for how long the ban lasts: a day seems not unreasonable. Breathe until it’s over, there are other things to do and you’ll be okay :)
My guy. You got mad that someone said you were wrong about a conspiracy, and then you got mad at someone telling you it would be ok. It's a day long ban.
This is a sign to take the day off from arguing on the Internet and go outside. I think it'll help your mental health.

bruh, do you know how to link?
.world
Ayuh. There's your problem, right there.
My favorite ban reason from them was a hidden rule that you can't quote the modlog to ask why a comment was removed.
Which became clear after their constant defense of terrible mods
I have had the entire instance blocked for years now. Every once in a while I think “hmm, should I unblock it?”
Nope.
Just imagine what the threadiverse could be today if .world wasn't the instance most noobs land on, regardless of how poisoned they may or may not be from years of corporate social media exposure. The loss of good users who end up there and then think better of the whole idea after a taste of "exactly like reddit, but elsewhere" is incalculable.
Absolutely! Especially over time, it makes it extremely difficult to build up niche communities that Reddit still has a stranglehold on.
Instead, those people just don’t join anything.
(Note that even mentioning blocking .world gets downvotes)
That one troll hiding behind "that's just what the monks wrote 1000 years ago, he was translating academic texts from arabic and didn't know what Ibn (son) means and just went with what his neighbor told him" 🤣
more likely it was legit how he pronounced Ibn Sina but that's no excuse to keep his dialect lmao
Also if you need to boil your blood real quick here is a good read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Avicenna#Change_name_from_Avicenna_to_Ibn_Sina
Impossible. The commenter told me that Wikipedia is open and free to edit for everyone.
I was in that thread. I don't really see what your basis for your "opinion" is.
But, a ban for misinformation? Maybe because you didn't provide a source?
I think Broadfern is right. BPR
Wikipedia is not a source?
Your source states that the name is latin phonetic translation, shows both names, and uses the actual name in the write up.
It doesn't support your "westernization" hypothesis at all hahahahah
There is only one name in the title not two. Suggestions about changing the name to what it really is have been shot down.
Hey buddy, I'm on your side. You seem to want confrontation though...
Didn't say it was in the title. If you go to the page, or type in search, it shows up.
I'm not sure why recommendations to change the actual title have been shot down. But it doesn't look like anything has been "overwritten".
Hey buddy, I'm on your side. You seem to want confrontation though...
seems like a weird thing to claim after
It doesn't support your "westernization" hypothesis at all hahahahah
Which seems quite confrontational.

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.
YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
