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.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin' in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
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.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

For additional context, the removed comment by [email protected] that was removed by Ada was:
Yep! That was it! Responding to something about having to "earn being an ally" ... I still am not sure wtf they mean, I have to commit deeds before I am friend instead of foe? If I'm an egg, or in the closet, I have to out myself before I can have or be supportive? I'm still am not sure. Chalking it up to I'm too old and they're to cliq-ey, or, they are just a bunch of assholes. Leaning latter now that I see that those who ask just one question get banned too.
I know through text it's easy to come off sounding angrier or meaner than intended but I don't see anything perma ban worthy in my response. Wanting to block me for that, sure... temp ban to cool off, of course. I could absolutely be dick not worth engaging with. Peruse my short history... see that even if I am, I am not going around trolling people or being abusive. I'm just confused idiot with a sailor's mouth.
I can see why Ada removed it, but a permaban doesn't seem necessary in my opinion. I've changed it to a tempban you should be able to comment again next year ^(3^ ^days^ ^from^ ^now)^.
I can't. Seems like a dumbass thing to ban someone for.
yeah those all seem like really good faith questions
/s in case it isn’t fucking obvious
So after accommodating for and accepting people who use neo-pronouns, you won't attempt to accommodate and accept people who are on the spectrum?
Thanks for looking into it! That seems like an acceptable limit. Still not sure if I will engage over there anymore after that. It seems quite chaotic and rather unnaccepting of any discussion of ideas. I will at least be able to give an upvote to meme posters who are funny and hope to encourage them to keep it up!
