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.
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.

Subscribed! The amount of linux fanboyism on this platform has been insane as of late to where if you even post anything factually negative (yes, Linux can get viruses) you get downvoted to hell. It’s nice to see a counter-culture sub once in a while.
As others have said, if you don’t like it, block it.
I didn't say explicitly that I didn't like it or that people shouldn't use it, just that the main mod has been power-tripping and very likely is a troll. So if you want to hang out there that's fine. Though I wouldn't expect any kind of content diversity there. It's likely going to be just be the main mod making posts, which he might even give up on later. It's also very likely he'll ban you for a misunderstanding, since some of the people there were banned seemingly for nothing.
You’re aware of the Streisand effect, right? It actually cuts both ways. I browse all and hadn’t even heard of that sub and a lot of others probably haven’t too. But your whining about the mod and community have brought a spotlight to it which raises the amount of attention it gets, probably not in the way you’re wanting.
