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.
- Keep the comments in YPTB posts about the moderation action itself, not about the general topic in which the moderation took place.
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.
YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
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.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- 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.

Drag didn't suggest suicide either.
No, that's not true. Every man, woman, and enby (most likely closeted) who went to the front lines of WWII and shot a Nazi dead is a hero. Shooting soldiers of Nazi Germany is an unequivocable good. Drag is proud of all the nazi killers who fought in the war, and who worked in logistics and support roles. Drag is proud of all the workers at home who kept the nazi-killing war machine going, too. Praising nazi killers isn't illegal. It sure is dangerous, though. To nazis. To normal, non-fascist people; to queer people and people of colour; it decreases danger.
Praising war vets is a hell of a lot different from encouraging people to go kill a nazi... But I get the impression you don't get that.
It was the right thing to do then and it's right now.
If I was a mod of a community, I'd preemptively ban you, sometimes you gotta nip a possible problem in the bud.
If you could just chill and interact respectfully with people on here instead of trying to draw attention to yourself, you'd probably find that your experience here is exponentially better, I'm not saying drop the drag schtick, but yeah, maybe goto 4chan to express your wishes for killing nazis, they love that shit there.
This is an anarchist instance. People who think Nazi killing is good are normal here. People like you are the unusual ones.
