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.

Where is that article is there any evidence of smear campaign from pro Israel media outlets? The article has been written after the election.
Similar to how AIPAC did not mention israel or antisemitism when targeting Jamaal Bowman their smear campaigns try to target subjects the population cares about and subsequently lies or heavily exaggerates them.
Here's an example during election period from The Times, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch.

There seems to be similar reports from the Irish Times, not owned by Rupert Murdoch
Instead of listing articles which are stating that she was linked to Russian, do you have any other source evidencing that she was targeted by a Israel-funded smear campaign?
The article you linked also appears to be a hit-piece. The supposed accusations in the title are not from the government either but from media outlets.
Daly herself was never arrested for spying or taking money. There's a lot of insinuation going on but surprisingly little concrete links. Or as she herself said in the article:
Sadly there's no OpenSecrets for Ireland so it's more difficult to track everything. Though anything with the name "Times, Telegraph or Post" usually leads to israel. Irish Times doesn't have an owner but a board of directors of 10 people. With so many people it's impossible not to find some guilt by association links but I do not feel like wasting my time on that
Rupert Murdochs' Times has posted multiple smear pieces on Daly as well. It certainly was not a one-off.
