I caught a mod at Late Stage Capitalism admitting they aren't from the US, so they deleted all my posts and banned me.

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:
- 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.

ydi. how is it relevant where someone lives (unless the comm is only for americans, which it isn't), except to imply that because they aren't american, they can't be trusted? the blight on lemmy world isn't the token socialists being critical of us politics, it's the democrats who can't accept totally legit criticisms of their party, and jump directly to mccarthyism, which helps prove the criticism is valid imo.
that's not the problem, the problem is his distinct and repeated calls for people to not participate in the process - which is a great way to lose elections. do you want more trump? no?
THEN FUCKING VOTE
love all the fucking chuds 'downvoting' literal encouragement for people to vote lol, the irony is hilarious.
I've NEVER said dont vote, I've repeatedly said dont vote for POS right wing bourgeois candidates. Which includes democrats and republicans
Rule 1: do not make calls for elections in anarchist comms.
That's nowhere in the rules - they're RIGHT THERE ----------------->
Yep I just realized I got banned and messages deleted from that guy when I was criticizing people pushing to not vote dem in the upcoming elections... that's why we are stuck with the shit stain trump.
I'm getting so fucking sick of the tankie splitter types that came out to protest mamdani... https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2026/10/8/800109366/news/far-left-eating-its-own-mamdani/
yeah, .ml users are generally bad faith agitators. you can follow their posts and see the same dishonest arguments happening over and over with every argument they lose in public getting your comments removed.
block .ml subs if you want to stop getting tricked into their “version” of popular communities.
Just a warning, this isn't a campaigning space. We don't allow electoralists to shame people for not voting. Everyone here knows about voting. We are not children who need to be bullied into action by you. Its totally insufferable. You can post about politics in a politics comm.
lolwtf electoralists?
insufferable is having to deal with people who discourage the only avenue for change.
The fact you don't see that extremely problematic speaks volumes of your political inaction than ours.
I'm not discouraging voting, vote if you want, for whoever you want, and leave me out of it.
power tripping bastards banned him from power tripping bastards ROFLS
I would vote if there was a single candidate on my ballot that didn't support genocide.
Down votes by those denying a genocide occurred during Biden but see it plain as day now
They even think more people died under Trump. The genocide is still happening, and has had for seven decades, but WTF? Absolute disconnect with reality.
Biden repeatedly told debunked blood libel lies about those he was enacting genocide against. He kept saying he saw "beheaded babies" with his "own eyes", over and over and over.
Fuck them all.
You know, there's objective data showing how many people died in what administration. And you're telling me less people died under Biden? Do you honestly believe that? Did it feel truthy to you when you said it? Is it your emotional truth? Yes, the genocide is still unfolding. It's been going on for over seven decades. Yes, Republicans are also genocidal. That's one of the few things they're honest about. What does that say about Democrats? Biden repeatedly told debunked blood libel lies against the very people he was enacting genocide against, all from his campaign podium, over and over and over. He said he saw beheaded babies in ovens "with his own eyes". WTF?
Give me a candidate that isn't genocidal and I will vote for them. Otherwise, let Republicans run it all into the ground. America failing is the best option put before me, which is best for all humanity. That's who I care about, not you, not me.
America is out of control and it needs to be stopped somehow. Democracy isn't an option. I wish it was.
I want democracy. I want democracy for us. I want democracy for Ukrainians. I want democracy for Palestinians. I want democracy for the world.
You'll empower genocidal billionaires over other genocidal billionaires, and call it some kind of victory.
Anyone who questions that logic must be a foreign agent.
My problem with GodlessCommie isn't that he's not American. My problem is he is the sole mod of a relatively popular sub and tries to dissuade people from voting and bans anyone that doesn't support his narrative.
He's stupid, and dangerous.
You intentionally misinterpret don't vote for Democrats or Republicans as don't vote and then try to claim those are our only choices. those are the only chocies that you have locked yourself into
it really upsets me when they try to rewrite history. the molotov ribbentrop pact happened. and how could the soviets have 'single handedly' stopped the nazis without BILLIONS of US aide (that wasn't repaid until 2006!!!) AND the allies opening the western front?
like, fuck, this isn't some controversy, this is history.... so that's my limit, people are entitled to their own interpretations but when you stop acknowledging what happened, nah, fuck off
I would say it's at least odd for someone from another country to post exclusively about American politics.
Y'all started.
Unfortunately, US politics has a huge impact on other countries. Just ask anyone from Iran, Venezuala, Haiti, Cuba, or Palestine, to name just a few recent examples.
I suppose it could be a coincidence that they behave exactly the way a foreign propagandist attempting to manipulate politics to the detriment of the US would behave. I wouldn't bet on it though.
Strange that the capitalist hegemon at the imperial core is so well represented in a comm about Late Stage Capitalism
I get what you are saying, but that is literally their whole account. Every single post is LSC. A regular person would at least occasionally comment about a cute dog picture or something, you know?
Most normal people I know have instagram or pixelfed accounts for dog pics
There are subs specifically for posting cute pet pics and dog pics exclusively. But that's just an example. He doesn't post about his favorite restaurants, hobbies, family, nothing. It doesn't feel like a regular human interacting with social media.
Lemmy isn’t Facebook. It’s intentionally pseudonymous. The communist developers created it that way for good reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_security
And how popular are those subs?
Most users on lemmy participate in only a handful of subs. It isnt surprising that some accounts are only active in one or two
