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.

lol. There's someone getting banned for standing up to a pedophile and here you are whining about someone having a preferred way to be called.
They’re a troll. And no one is whining.
That might be. You are too, you're just not as good at it. And you're definitely whining.
Hilarious! I’d love for you to point out the exact part where I said or did anything remotely trollish, how it hurt you in detail, and then point out the part where I whined, and please- use the dictionary definition.
Is this you not whining?
I think you need to reexamine the definition of the term “whining.”
Here let me help:
Now, using the example in the definition above, please show the class, exactly what in my comment resembles anything written therein.
And fee free to quote the part that you happen to be misinterpreting as whining.
Because kiddo… I’m laughing my ass off here.
Yeah, definitely not whining.
This just in: terms have colloquial meanings that dictionaries like Oxford don't always keep up with. It only makes you look kinda dumb to pretend those don't exist :)
I don’t think I’m looking very dumb here. Maybe you’re using the wrong dictionary to define the term?
What are you referring to?
An entire community was just banned from an instance because its only mod (and member) was posting a bunch of pedo rethoric and banning anyone who disagreed. A post about it was made in this community a little bit earlier than this post and I found the contrast very funny.
The only pedo in this situation is the strawman one you just made the fuck up in your own head.
Don't blame you for being out of the loop.
