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.

Yeah, this feels like a bit. They might be the type of person to role play different out there characters and rotate through them when they get bored.
Drag never uses 'I' in sentences to refer to themself.
They have a comment saying they are using 'first person pronouns', by which they mean that they are using custom, or neopronouns when referring to themself in the first person.
The grammatical problem with this is that the 'pronoun' they are using is their own nickname.
Which functionally reads as them referring to themself in the third person only, akin to the deprecated 'royal we'.
This kind of behavior is common in people who have extreme social anxiety, or dissociative identity disorder.
It's probably not a bit, a put on.
They are consistent in this odd grammatical pattern, and they seem to believe it is genuinely justifiable and socially acceptable.
Drag states that they are autistic, and trans.
They are probably legitimately mentally disordered.
... I used to date a trans person with DID, amongst other diagnosed conditions.
This kind of extremely confusing, unconventional grammatical structure was something they exhibited as well.
The reason it feels like a bit is it isn't consistent with conversational usage, even as you pointed out them talking about themselves. (Or Drag talking about Drag). Or Dragon Fucker talking about Dragon Fucker.
There is a possibility this is a real person committed to a lifestyle and not a role player, but then I would suggest we are the test bed for their new unconjugated universal pronoun... and it feels fake, because its wildly inconsistent and confusing.
