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.

Context: Linkerbaan whines every time he gets banned for incivility and blames Zionism for it. And it happens on an almost daily basis.
Yeah he's one of the more problematic users on Lemmy, that's why I put together a little guide on how to ban users with the API since that allows preemptive banning that can prevent dealing with problematic users like this before they start trouble in communities.
Looks like my point was proven.
@Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com Maybe we should let .ml know about this guy too, I'm doubtful they'll tolerate his bullshit Under Rule 1 and Rule 2.
Tbh I think the .ml mods are quite capable of moderating their own instance. He's been banned from LW and dbzer0, but if he wants to hang out at .ml thats fine with me.
You're right, they definitely are. Maybe he'll be more serious there and less of a troll. If he doesn't I'm sure they'll take action on their own. They've been very good about it.
