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:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- 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.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
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.

They weren’t establishing guilt other than was he there illegally, which he was. They did determine that he is an MS-13 member.
The allegations of being a gang member were substantiated. Twice. They didn’t go “oh he didn’t show to traffic court, that means he’s a gang member allegedly” lol
He was ordered to be deported twice - that’s why another court then said he can’t be deported to El Salvador lol
Seriously, read the actual fucking legal documents linked in that biased-ass article. They denied him bond while waiting for the real hearing due to the gang allegations. Nothing more, nothing less. The judges themselves refer to them as allegations in their findings. The traffic court thing is unrelated to him being a gang member, it is relevant to if he should be released while waiting, which is the only thing they were finding on. I read the orders myself, they clearly make no finding on if he's in a gang and no findings on deportation.
The allegations were determined to be true. Do you think that gang members carry a gang membership card or something? There’s no “official” gang membership paperwork, everything is “alleged” even after courts deem the allegations to be true.
He admits to being in the country illegally. He was found to be a MS-13 gang member. Both of those things are cause for deportation individually. When you combine they it’s a slam dunk. The only reason he wasn’t deported was because of fear that MS-13s rival gang would persecute him upon his return, which basically confirms that he is an MS-13 member. If he’s not MS-13, why would MS-13s rival gang want him dead?
Why do you think that it even got to the ruling staying his deportation? Because he was going to be deported. 6 years ago. For some absurd reason he has just been able to wander around the USA as an illegal immigrant for the last 6 years because some judge said sending him home is dangerous because of a rival gang 🤣. What sort of stupid situation is that? Illegally in the country, known about, but allowed to stay because not allowed to send him to his home country where he is a citizen.
So what’s the next step? Deport him to a random country where he isn’t a citizen either, where they’ll just send him straight back? Put him in jail for breaking the law by coming in to the country illegally? They can’t just block the only available deportation destination so he gets to illegally stay in the USA forever. So again - what is the next step? What do YOU think should be done with him? He would NOT win any court case fighting against his illegal alien status because he is an illegal alien, self admittedly.
You're a fucking liar and a traitor.
