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.

What would be your take on someone that went to vegan communities for the sole purpose to just downvote all the comments?
Would that be bannable?
Yes, it should be. But I just took issue with the carnivore diet since humans need to eat veggies for the essential nutrients.
So…. Ban it when you disagree with it, but it should stay if your agree?
While I appreciate the honesty… this is as shit a take as it gets.
Happened a while ago, people went mad: https://feddit.uk/post/17377857
Sure, but is that behavior you approve of?
I don't know. For me the biggest takeaway about the vegan drama was the change in LW Terms of Service, which mean that carnivore could also not be hosted on LW, as it could be dangerous for people the same way the vegan diet it.
I feel like LW wanted to support Rooki in the decision, so they had to come up with this new rule, but they should probably have considered just removing Rooki as an admin, even temporarily, and let the rules as they are.
I just had a look at !vegan@lemmy.world now, it the first pinned post is about research papers showing that vegan diet is healthy for humans to comply with the rules.
I saw your post about asking to mod !carnivore@lemmy.world, are you going to lock it down and redirect to !carnivore@lemm.ee ?
Hrmm, I'll make a post in fedigrow to talk about my ideas on moderation, Short version here - Only negative participation is bad for lemmy.
WRT !carnivore@lemmy.world, I don't have a plan, I saw it was unmoderated, and people had been talking about ketones 4 months ago and had a really bad experience from lemmy users when they just wanted help with their medical condition - so at the very least it needs a active moderator. I might make sense for one to be casual talk, and the other to be science/papers/etc. not sure, depends if I get granted moderator access and how it fits with their diet policy.
Sure, looking forward to it!
Makes sense!
