Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1404 readers
72 users here now

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:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


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.


Some acronyms you might see.

Israeli propaganda spreader @PugJesus@lemmy.dbzer0.com a.k.a @PugJesus@lemmy.world banned me from completly unrelated community I never really participated in after I called out his Israeli propaganda lies here:

PTB.

He legitimately seemed to be going through something the last few days though, he was picking fights with everyone in a bunch of threads and I ended up catching strays along with a bunch of others

[–] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, hard agree. I know he has chronic pain, but it's not cool to take it out on others.

I wouldn't post to any community they moderate anyways, one of the biggest rage baiters on lemmy

[–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Very reassuring that you said that tbh, I was starting to wonder are they annoying only me...

[–] WereHacker@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 week ago

Yup. Block them and move on.

[–] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Brother told me he will keep attacking leftists who "didn't vote for harm reduction" until he gets an "olive branch" from those leftist ghosts living in his head.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 week ago

"We need unity"

"Alright let's stand side by side, no one should be subjected to harm by governments due to their identity or existence."

"Wow, I can't believe you would say such a thing! This is why the left never wins, they have such lofty goals as abiding by the Geneva convention and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. You ruined leftism!"

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

And now he's lying about db0 being evil and lying about him: https://lemmy.world/post/33347185

Does this dude ever sleep? Like all he does is whine and complain 24/7 and then act like anyone put off by him is a fascist in disguise.

Actions have consequences, and he's mad his actions have the lightest of consequences. Holy shit guy just wants an excuse for everything he does, and no one else gets one.

He's saying db0 banning someone for their actions is evil, yet power trips and bans people in unrelated communities because he finds them evil for not advocating for genocide. Good Lord.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I know people like this in real life and I swear they live for the fight but only ones that they think they can win. They get a thrill from being right or having power and their use is good and for their own betterment and anyone else is just mistaken and wrong and needs to be corrected or pushed aside to make room for someone they can push down or back upon.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Way back, when I was still on .worId and PJ was newer, I once diffused an argument they wanted to start with me, simply by holding my ground and nicely picking apart their (admittedly bad) arguments. They seemed more interested in winning than what was actually correct and they admitted to having a temper that led to that behavior.

I thought they were an alright person, maybe just immature, until I discovered they had been forcefully arguing the opposite point with another person at the same time. That's when I blocked them.

That... sounds so perfect for them. Reddit internet debate lord.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago

Like 6 months back, PugJeuss said he was done trying to win fights on the internet. The replies chuckled at him and said he clearly doesn't mean it. And then he got mad at you for not believing him.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But how can he be a fascist when he says he’s “Vaguely Left-Wing.” /s

I am really not surprised by PugJesus being a PTB.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Common PugJesus L, I give it less than 12 hours until he comes into here because he searches his username on lemmy often.

PTB too.

[–] WillStealYourUsername@piefed.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 week ago (17 children)

PugJesus has always been terrible :/
I remember them raging over neopronouns over on blåhaj f.ex

PTB

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yeah that was the point i just blocked them. That shit also spilled into tumblr

He was banned from blåhaj back then, so I'm happy to say I've not really seen him since. Someone did share his odd recent ranting community he made where he wrote to himself about how evil and mean we are or something for asking people to either block/ignore/report or use the requested pronouns of other users. He's obsessed apparently.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Wait, really? Lemmy drama gets posted to Tumblr?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not generally but a rant post about mean trans people on lemmy bullying someone who is autistic over pronouns was doing the rounds . Specific references and wording were clearly puggling if you knew about the Drag debacle.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 days ago

I see, thanks

Thanks, just blocked PugJesus. What a trash human being.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's a bit too far imo. He's just a true blue liberal that can't handle the crumbling reality that is the incoming NWO and the revelation that American exceptionalism was always a lie.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

I mean he's had years to learn better but continues to shitpost about rome like a weirdo on Twitter does.

If he spent the energy starting slap fights online and making memes only the people hyper focused on Rome find remotely chuckle worthy on improving himself, he'd be a loved icon.

First person i blocked on lemmy because they don't believe in neopronouns. Which essentially means "I'll respect how you identify as long as i think it's a valid identity".

Basically I'm not surprised that they're still being a different flavor of dick

PTB.

However, imo blocking him is a double-edged sword as he posts so prolifically you end up wiping out heaps of Lemmy content that normal people engage with, and Lemmy is fairly small.

He's made 11,942 (!) posts in 733 days. That's over 16 posts a day you drop by blocking him, I only looked on his main account. Didn't count his secondary db0.

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I blocked him and any alts of his that I could identify back when he was frequently trying to get .world to defederate from .ml. The decrease in content is unnoticeable but the decrease in insufferable manufactured drama is massive.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Ok you were right, I kept an eye out for his content for the next week or so and it was all stuff I could live without.

Oh, wow, I literally just blocked pugjesus today because they've become so unhinged. El oh El

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago

Looks like they went on a whole ban spree. Some folks are not equipped to operate outside communities they control and moderate.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago

PTB. No surprise. Worthless creep in action.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Holy shit Pug made a community to WHINE about their Ls
