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:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- 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.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
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.
- 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.

I think you fell prey to that dude's rouse... The whole point of the linuxsucks community is to stir up people and ban them. They're doing that all day, every day. madthumbs is a troll.
If you speak up or engage with the misinformation there, they got you and you're getting banned.
And yet the user count continues to go up. -It couldn't simply be failed brigading and trashing could it?
It couldn't simply be untreated paranoid psychosis could it?
trolling and doing satire is literally the second most common form of expression on the internet and yet still people defend everything like it’s serious
you ate the onion, my friend, and when we told you it was an onion you said “well maybe the onion is psychotic it looks like an apple to me”
it's gonna be the letter "K" outta me dawg
you seem like a joy to be around 😒 blocked for being no fun
k
your fault you took a modpost in a troll community seriously haha
Even if madthumbs wasn't serious about any of the other posts he made in his community, he's 100% serious when he says that it isn't satire, otherwise he wouldn't be banning people for "linux evangelism" or humor. He also wouldn't have locked every post in that community and the community itself. It's not a satire community, he's 100% serious. That's why people say he's a troll.
you just don’t get the elite sense of humor we have
People don't get it because it's not humor and it isn't funny. It's just complaining about things, many are often nonsensical. Also who's "we"? He locked that community and as far as I can tell you're not on the Team so there isn't really a "we" anymore, if there even was one to begin with.
yeah you ever think that getting posted to the biggest drama sub would result in brigading? and maybe that would result in locking the community?
this post singlehandedly ruined all the fun. yall pissed in the ball pit and your defense is “it’s actually a latrine but the toilets look often nonsensically like balls”
it’s depressing, really. you came into a little tiny satire project with like 12 active members and insisted that you were entitled to be judge jury and executioner on the person running that project.
meanwhile your entire defense is consistently “i didn’t get the joke.” okay???? block and move on. yall ruined a space people were having harmless geeky fun.
This was a long time coming considering it's a troll community which consistently posts incomprehensible garbage, people are usually quite vocal when it comes to speaking out against troll communities which either contribute nothing to Lemmy as a whole or worse, are harmful to the health of the instance. Which many believe spamming and trolling are, and I can't say I disagree with them. I'm actually surprised Madthumbs didn't lock the community sooner, looking at his modlog where he bans anyone who criticizes his community, or opinions, I'd expect him to have locked the community much sooner.
I think it's very funny that you still think a community like this is satire when madthumbs consistently and repeatedly banned people for satire and humor, then banned them for criticism when they realized it isn't satire. It's also funny you say this is a "space people were having harmless geeky fun" when it was never that, it was really just madthumbs consistently complaining, posting misinformation, or just posting absolute nonsense. So trying to say it was a "group" or "space" is very disingenuous.
congrats on understanding its a troll community. you almost understand the premise of a joke here but fall short immediately. you should look up “commitment to the bit”
they used a meme as the thumbnail for a modpost 😂 i love how obvious the joke is for me but you insist every sentence you read must be 100% serious
yup. looks like satire of the original subreddit. still hilarious that you can say it’s “eye-rollingly obvious” without recognizing that’s absolutely intentional XD
Lol sure it is. Your community is beloved! Lolol
