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.

you have been banned from c/linuxsucks for subversive advocation of foss.
FOSS is fine, just as long as it's 250% faster, more feature rich, more stable, and more user-friendly than the proprietary alternatives.
I was going to make a similar joke -_-
Oh yea, that guy is weird LMFAO. I can't tell if he's trolling half the time or if he's serious. Kinda leaning on serious lol
He claims that FOSS is taking away jobs from "legitimate businesses" which is why he likes proprietary software better.
100% trolling
He’s a Microsoft shareholder.
It's a shame, I think there's space for a community for gentle and good-natured roasting of Linux – no one has ever run a Linux OS without encountering some pain points (as with all software, to a greater or lesser extent) and shared frustration through comedy can actually be beneficial. It's definitely true that the Linux community can take itself too seriously sometimes.
That's not what this is, though, it's a furious, blinkered, irrational attack. Fuck that noise. More power to the users.
Well shit. Thought that was what the sub was. Didn't read much, but it seemed that way on the surface.

The effect created by such Internet trolls is not very big, but they manage to make certain forums meaningless because people stop commenting on the articles when these trolls sit there and constantly create an aggressive, hostile atmosphere toward those whom they don’t like. The trolls react to certain news with torrents of mud and abuse. This makes it meaningless for a reasonable person to comment on anything there.

Of course it's hard to separate people who are being cocks just because they're cocks, from someone who is being a cock for some particular purpose, and maybe it's not that useful to try to distinguish. Maybe this person really just revels in causing other people to get mad at them. But it is weird that they're working so hard on so transparently trying to make the experience on Lemmy worse, and it's also weird that LW is providing a safe space for them to do it in.
Lemmy.world has never been good about dealing with assholes and trolls for most of the time they've been around. It took them more than a year to ban @[email protected] permanently, and they never banned some of their more egregious trolls period, or they even unbanned them after being banned.
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.
nah you don't get that committed to schizoposting for that long without sincerity i think
I think there is quite a range, well into insanity if it's on the internet.
"subversion" would mean you're subverting the purpose of the community.
I got banned like 2 month's ago 😅
like, I get how he's using it, but
one "subverts" a government, regime, dynasty or political organization. It suggests he sees himself as a king in a kingdom or something. his use of eg "pollution" and "poor morals" as ban justifications are also suggestive.

Clear PTB.
Can you show some of the deleted comments. I'm just curious.
I don't know how to show them, but the post i made was admittedly critical of the community and his ideas.
If they removed them in the modlog, just take a screenshot of the modlog entries. If they didn't remove them, you can just link to them
Doesn't show in the modlog, they used ban with content removal to avoid modlog entries.
Maybe they meant semantic version?
I made a post about c/[email protected] a while back, that person is basically a troll with nothing better to do. A lot of those posts are just him complaining about linux and many of them are insanely nonsensical.
Looking at the community now it seems he went off the deep end and locked the community and every other post so no one could criticize them anymore. Though that also means he won't be getting much engagement anymore.
I am guessing they think it means "having the ability to reason"
I got into a lengthy argument with this person before realizing they are a troll and blocked them.

Apache Subversion, often abbreviated as SVN, is an open-source version control system used by software developers to manage and track changes to files, such as source code and documentation. It was created in 2000 by CollabNet and is now maintained by the Apache Software Foundation.
