Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

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.

Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?

@rimu@piefed.social

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

Mass instance bans

Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).

Done

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.

He has abused the modlog to claim 'harassment', which I have never engaged in. I have not even interacted with Rimu in any way for days prior to getting kicked from the PieFed developer Matrix channels.

He has decided to mass ban 20 users because they have spoken out against his erratic and hostile behaviour as of late.

I go by actions rather than what words are used as so many prefer optics rather than what is actually happening.

How is that a dodge?

If someone takes actions to silence trans people or attack them yes but that's not at all what rimu supports keep shouting as the claim.

If someone silences you because of your pro-trans views, any reasonable person would recognize that as being “anti-pro-trans”, or more simply “anti-trans”. Another way to say that is “transphobic”.

So this is what actually happened or it was just a statement on the instance that had repercussions done to it by rimu?

Please help me and others understand

How is that a dodge?

Because it's completely non-responsive to my question.

If someone takes actions to silence trans people or attack them yes

Okay! So you agree.

So this is what actually happened or it was just a statement on the instance that had repercussions done to it by rimu?

It is what Mia actually said she thinks is a reason the instance was silenced, yes. Therefore, my original claim is true.

Please help me and others understand

If only you were willing.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

😮‍💨. I knew better and still engaged.

Gonna stop here as you both are not reading anything and still ignoring the actual issue

Edit.

Re read you're own comments and you'll see yourself is calling rimus actions transphobic considering how little thought is put into the it

Hard to parse this word salad, but no, nowhere did I call rimus actions transphobic. You're lying.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

According to this logic you have presented since rimu did what Mia said his action therefore is transphobic.

Rimus action to attack another instance, which happens or have trans users, means he must be by your logic.

Again I'm going off actions not words but since the only example rimu defenders have is an instance being described it's all anyone can conclude

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Rimus action to attack another instance, which happens or have trans users, means he must be by your logic.

Nope, has to be specifically targetted at them for being trans for it to meet my logic.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Which is what you said is the reason for it. Therefore your logic shows he is one

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, it's what I said Mia said is the reason for it. Keep up.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

me

Okay! So you agree.

You

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Correct. You agree that Mia thinks rimu was taking actions to silence trans people or attack them for being pro-trans.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nope, logic was if the action did it then that mean it was what happened not the words used.

Again we get back to all of this is an admin describing the instance that was attacked.

Now you've spent what 50 comments trying to deflect from what actions actually happened, which pale to the transphobe claims.

I just find it funny this is the only defense for an epic self inflicted crashout on rimus part.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Nope, logic was if the action did it then that mean it was what happened not the words used.

The logic Mia is using, correct. Hence why I said she believes it was what happened.

Now you’ve spent what 50 comments trying to deflect from what actions actually happened, which pale to the transphobe claims.

Nope, I've spent 50 comments not letting you lie about what I said.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nope, I've spent 50 comments not letting you lie about what I said.

I thought we were debating what rimu did not you.

Although funny to say that when just quoting you.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I thought we were debating what rimu did not you.

We were debating what I claimed Mia said about what rimu did.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nope been about how silly the crash out and how only get defenders distracting

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So you concede that Mia did in fact say she thinks rimu is a transphobe.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Unless you have more than the instance description fuck no

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

So then we try this again. Here is the claim, tell me whether you agree or disagree with this claim:

If someone silences you because of your pro-trans views, any reasonable person would recognize that as being “anti-pro-trans”, or more simply “anti-trans”. Another way to say that is “transphobic”.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So you are claiming rimu is a transphobe and was silencing people now?

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Let's try again.

Here is the claim, tell me whether you agree or disagree with this claim:

If someone silences you because of your pro-trans views, any reasonable person would recognize that as being “anti-pro-trans”, or more simply “anti-trans”. Another way to say that is “transphobic”.

Simple "agree" or "disagree".

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No the claim is you still deflecting.

Again is there anything other than the instance description used?

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Again is there anything other than the instance description used?

Yes there is, but you won't answer this simple question that demonstrates it (of course we know why you won't answer).

But I'll ask again, so you're on the record as dodging again:

Here is the claim, tell me whether you agree or disagree with this claim:

If someone silences you because of your pro-trans views, any reasonable person would recognize that as being “anti-pro-trans”, or more simply “anti-trans”. Another way to say that is “transphobic”.

Simple “agree” or “disagree”.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes there is

Then please present it.

I love you are trying to make people sound like a transphobe

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Then please present it.

Happy to. But for it to be understood, one would need to agree to the broader claim I proposed above. Are you okay to move into the demonstration with the assumption that you agree with that broader claim? Or do we need to understand what you disagree with about it?

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago

So there isn't anything else. Know this for 2 reasons. One you'd start with it and two you havent been able to stay coherent this entire time

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean, you're the one digging their heels in on this point.

You can say sure, fine, Mia did say she thinks Rimu is a transphobe, but that's a minor part of a larger issue. And that you think Rimu is still worse and in the wrong. And that people are only bringing it up to deflect from Rimus actions.

But the fact that you have to twist and turn instead of just admitting I was right really speaks volumes about how you guys operate.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They're both using that rimus not transphobic line as a defense to try and deflect

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is like the 5th time someone has said that and no have not seen any evidence.

But you had seen the evidence, and it was true.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm gonna laugh if rimus crash out is because they think an admin describing their instances focus as the reason.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -4 points 2 months ago

So you concede that Mia did indeed say she thinks a reason rimu silenced quokk.au is because he's transphobic.
