Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

909 readers
339 users here now

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:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


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.

I've been struggling to find another instance that ticks all the boxes

-allows NSFW

-doesnt censor swear words

-allows downvotes

-isnt an embarrassing name (looking at you sh.it.just.works)

-defederated from hexbear and other troll instances

-doesnt cave to elitist interests (.world has now fucked this up)

-active enough to have a good sized feed of communities

If you want a US based-instance, https://discuss.online/ blocks hexbear and lemmygrad

If you want a non US instance, https://sopuli.xyz/ blocks hexbear and lemmygrad

Both are large enough to address your last point.

Personally I don't think this one matters so long as it federates content elsewhere in a timely manner. Pay close attention to uptime stats on the Fediverse Explorer. Sort by Active Users for best results - and it looks like lemmy.ca is another good option, defederating from Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml.

I think kbin.earth matches all of that, but I mainly stay on /all not local so I don’t actually know.

You need to lower your standards at least a little bit because sh.itjust.works is probably one of the better servers out there. Mainly because their philosophy is the same as their namesake, which is almost certainly why they named themselves that. I think most people like it when Shit Just Works, and aren't really fans of the jank, which is what a lot of the earlier days of Lemmy during the Reddit migration were like.

You can block instances yourself, you don't need to have your instance do that.

It's still not the same level as defederating at the instance level: https://lemm.ee/post/46435607
