Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

706 readers
132 users here now

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.

I said something along the lines of:

"Wow, I haven't had a reason to smile ear to ear in a while."

Along with

"Nah, the more dead ~~corpos~~ dragons, the better."

In response to some liberal going off about how violence is never the solution, not mentioning how this murdered dipshit has personally overseen a system that perpetuates harm, suffering and death (violence) in the name of profit.

...

Good ole' civility clause.

Whats the paradox of tolerance?

.world mods have never heard of it I guess.

Oh Jordan is absolutely a rogue mod and always has been. I've seen his work before.

Dude regularly removes stuff that doesn't break any rules.

Okay well that's really not Ten Forward's problem or Lemmy Shitpost's problem. He doesn't mod in either of those. There are admins for a reason. This is just this person childishly annoying people who had nothing to do with it.

Fair. But regular users can't do anything about it so we're bringing it to the attention of other moderators in the hopes that they can help.

That other guy's "protest" is misguided, but what the fuck else can we do?

I bet you could create a community on that instance, and then you'd be a mod too and have just as much power as the dude above.

That's fair. I was frustrated and typing fast so not all of my logic in this thread is sound.

There's a lot of options on how to contact the admin right on the front page of lemmy.world. I am guessing that was not tried before this childish "I'm going to flag Picard memes because I'm mad" bullshit.

Cool, I use an app on my phone so I've never seen that page. Thanks.
