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.

As stupid as this is, it's not up to you what is a "dangerous diet" and going to an entire community you disagree with just to downvote everything is petty and childish. Just block it instead.
YDI
Doctors have recommended against it. God the anti-vaxxers are bridgading Lemmy now.
We need to challenge dangerous misinformation on the internet and not let it spread uncontested.
If you want to downvote a whole community fine. But it’s kind of absurd to then complain about getting banned lol.
God I’m can’t believe people are defending a carnivore community, despite the fact humans need to eat vegetables.
People were attacking the user beaver for banning downvoters on https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/22273342 yet here they're defending jet 🤦♀️ when the carnivore diet will block your arteries.
You hear that @wesker@lemmy.sdf.org, you can’t complain if you get banned from a community for simply downvoting.
Believe it or not, I can both think the carnivore diet is dangerous and dumb (not to mention terrible for the environment) and also think your behaviour isn’t acceptable.
This picture is probably the bloody dumbest thing that I've seen this whole year. (I know, "whole year" = "less than a week", but still.)
you seem super fun, like the kind of person who likes to laugh at jokes
In my times, "joke" meant something. Like your mum, she's the joke of the whole city!
Serious now. That pic is not a joke, it's just a really dumb image macro promoting a harmful mindset ("nuance is reactionary, so have no nuance").
ah you just 180 degree misunderstood it, the correct interpretation is the opposite: “nuance is what separates reactionaryism from genuine discussion. so be nuanced.”
Ah, my bad. I got it wrong indeed, I read the "just because you sound like a reactionary doesn't mean you actually are one" part as ironic.
Sorry for being on the defensive.
yeah no worries glad you could come around :) you don’t have to like my memes but i hate to see people misunderstand them completely and get the wrong idea
I also read it ironically. I'm still not sure it's not intended ironically
well i didn’t post it ironically. you either believe my word or ya don’t haha
I believe you didn't. But did you make this?
it’s a common exploitable image trope. most of them are unironic exactly as i use it here. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/star-posting-the-just-kidding-star
I remain unconvinced 😅
sorry homie, i led you to water. drink or don’t. it’s not my job to convince you ya know
I just dispute your take that this was always earnest. The knowyourmeme implies ironicposting
i never said it was always earnest. i said it was often earnest. mostly unironic. i used it unironically. my friends do. the community where i originally found the trope years ago used it unironically. you are more than welcome to post a star ironically and then there would be irrefutable proof of your claim but i don’t care
knowyourmeme page contains neither the word “ironic” or “satire.”
sorry if im being short here, you are probably just chatting for fun, but you’re just doing a thing that happens all the time where you tell me my words actually mean the opposite and it makes me upset because of how often it happens on here.
no means no, yes means yes. it doesn’t feel good for me to say “no” and get “i think you meant yes” in return.
I already said that I accept your use unironically. I don't know what you're upset about.
Anyway, you can continue using this, but you will continue to probably confuse people and end up in unnecessary misunderstandings like before 🤷
no worries its just that this conversation is representative of a larger pattern i deal with. i.e. i make a typo or bad grammar choice, correct it later and get “but you literally said (typo)” at the next turn of the conversation. this is just a silly example of the real issue
anyway yall just dont get my jokes and thats a you issue. i convinced the main person who misunderstood at first and this is literally the first time anyone misunderstood this (i use these stars a lot because they are funny)
never seen these before, so I guess we run in different circles. Find emojis or smilies usually achieve the same results.
Dude, did you just make this post to preach?
Every response that isn't what you wanted to hear, you're pounding the pulpit, despite the responses focusing on the topic of this community, which is about whether or not mod actions are appropriate or "power tripping".
What you did has nothing to do with your beliefs. You went around spamming down votes, and got the ban you deserve. It absolutely, 100% does not matter why you did it, you took an action that is widely known to be ban worthy.
So, stop whining about it and move on, you deserved it.
And, it doesn't matter whether or not someone else did or didn't get banned for something, it's all about what you did.
I feel attacked.
You’re okay buddy ;)
where?
The also recommend against vegan diets. Does that mean we should go to vegan communities and harass them?
The difference is there are numerous studies that support the plant-based diet.
What does "support" mean? Sure, you can have a a vegan diet if you pay attention to nutrients intake and supplement accordingly. But you can have almost any diet of you do that.
Great now we have false equivalencies being made.
Yeah, that's what I was trying to point out to you.
The fruitarian diet, carnivore diet and keto diet are not healthy full stop.
Fruitarian?
Fuckin fruitcake more like mate 😂
Sure. Yet, they should all be allowed to have their own communities.
You can’t be healthy on any diet if you’re missing a large portion of the nutrients.
Exactly, that's why you should pay attention to your nutrient intake with any diet. Obviously the more specialised the diet is, the more important this becomes.
