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.

Being a cunt is though
If you act like a dick regarding others' beliefs, they will shun you. It's been like that since the dawn of time
Would you walk into someone's barbecue and start your preaching like that, then act all confused when someone fuckin decks you with an entire, raw pig?
That's more or less what people did on vegan communities. When they got banned, there was a whole drama: https://feddit.uk/post/17377857
Two wrongs never made a right
Indeed, just evidencing the double standard
Then the people who against veganism need to stop brigading vegan communities and stop crying when they get banned.
Of course you resort to name calling and being rude.
It's wild that this exact same thing happened before, and the general consensus was that the vegan community was wrong to ban assholes that'd downvote every vegan post.
It's so bizarre how people were circlejerking about the vegans from that incident but then act like I was a jerk for downvoting posts about dangerous diet.
Vegans cant ban downvoters but carnivores can what a joke.
According to these people the vegan communities are "insular, closed-minded and echo chambers" while the carnivore communities are just "protecting their way of life"
I'm kinda on the fence. If the community is allowed to exist, you should be banned for down voting every post. If you don't like a community's content, just block it and move on.
What pisses me off is the blatant double standard.
(Edit: I do obviously think communities that endorse animal abuse shouldn't be allowed, though.)
I suppose contacting the admins about the dangers of the diet would've been more constructive.
Being banned from the carnivore community is a badge of honour like getting booted out of r/vegetarian.
