Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
Rimu

What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?

Kicking from all Matrix PieFed rooms

Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rimu has been manufacturing non-stop drama for weeks. He ignores multiple offers from multiple parties to de-escalate, and now he bans someone for trying to promote non-discriminatory language. He has also now cut off a PieFed admin from any and all support and ability to contribute to the software.

Oh and the real kicker ? Rimu did all this after his big grand post about how he is stepping back from drama and hiding away from users.

“Who is shaming?”
…you apparently? with a whole-ass paragraph. giving examples of other words and their history as if that has any significance to my choice to not honor your request.

What request? Its a discussion. You debated the validity of any historical context, and said you "researched it", I shared some historical context. I think you're taking this very personally, and I really don't understand why.

let me explain just in case I was not clear, I will not be doing as you ask. and i believe it’s unreasonable for you to demand it of me.
you claim you’re not guilt tripping and shaming then do exactly that.

Can you point to where I made some sort of demand? I asked a question. How is "whats the downside" or "why is it a problem" a demand, a guilt trip, or shaming? I think you're interpreting something here that isn't there, or maybe confusing me with someone else.

it comes off as an overbearing parent and not a reasonable request. apologies if we do not agree. but understand that we do not have to agree. Sorry, that’s just how life goes sometimes.

I didn't assume we needed to agree, I asked why you think its not reasonable to have a change to code that would have some small positive benefit (for the people bothered by it) and no real negative other than, say, accepting a pr taking a few moments of time?

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.
