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 am fascinated to find one of the dedicated troll accounts coming in to spend some time debating with multiple people with mostly reasoned conversation on this topic.
Go look at this person's history. I defy you to find some other instance of them calmly debating on any topic with this many messages or with this level of thought and responsiveness. Mostly, they are busy getting banned from [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], for tossing in little one-off missives like:
And:
So why is this part of your busy schedule, posting defenses of the slrpnk moderators on what seems like a pretty minor normal-fare-for-PTB issue?
That extremist CIA PTB subs support the most absurd western warmongering propaganda with bans to protect their demonic world views is not reason to bring them up this thread.
OP seems to be mad that something positive was posted. I'm just defending the post, and it is excessive to call it misinformation. Mod ban did cite "pattern" I did not investigate. My fairly neutral/reasoned post is downvoted here.
See, this is what I was talking about: Just some lazy collections of semi-word-salad that make a vague and hostile attempt to support whatever pro-Russia viewpoint, and then on to the next comment. It makes it all the more anomalous that as far as I can tell the only time when you've ever stepped out of that mode, slowed down and made a serious effort to engage with other people and present a clear argument in detail, because you care about being believed, it was in defense of the slrpnk moderators, all of a sudden at random. When I don't think you've ever shown an intense interest in Lemmy-drama or indeed any other non-geopolitical topic before.
I didn't think OP's post was anything other than some random Lemmy-drama about short-sighted moderation, and I still don't. This part is a lot more interesting.
You want a world where all anti-Russia disinformation is unchallenged. In addition to war not benefitting Americans/west in any way, it is responsible for massive diesel use, that has put diesel/home heating fuel at near global refining capacity and a factor on inflation. The relationhip to energy/transition is that despite some global progress on energy, 2024 had record increase in CO2, largely due to war and forest fires. Demonic war propaganda is in fact humanity diminishing climate terrorism, as human sustainability cannot be balanced under a war priority.
This you?

won't link, but warmongering is warmongering to diminish Russia to the last Ukrainian. Peace is not requiring Ukraine to stay nazified and join nato so Ukrainians can live happily ever after.
And the propaganda continues.
