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.

* admins, in this case.
Edit: Not admins, my bad.
*Not an admin, the user is a mod. Look at their account on their home instance and you'll see they aren't an admin.

Calling out bad behavior from mods is good but please don't spread misinformation, intentionally or not. As it hurts the credibility of the claims.
Yes, I've edited all my posts and comments once I realised my error
Ah that's good, glad the information has been corrected. I'd also recommend editing the post title to clarify that it's a mod talking out of their ass, as opposed to something officially true.
Same shit. Many .world mods have access to an automod to give them admin powers such as bans.
I would have said, it's a bit worse when it's the admins doing it, but you have a point.
