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.

MODERATORS
With the given context kinda leaning BPR: looks like a thread getting way out of hand/off-topic for what seems like splitting hairs on what amounts to localization? Not an express rule-break but a charged situation that needs a cooldown.
Given I had to dig through the modlog for how long the ban lasts: a day seems not unreasonable. Breathe until it’s over, there are other things to do and you’ll be okay :)
The topic is about systemic erasure of science in the Islamic world in Western education. Your comment on this post is less relevant than my comment on the original. Do not talk down on me condescendingly.
I'm not reading any condescension in the comment to which you're replying. I'm reading some suggestion that you're misinterpreting the modlog's message. And here I start to wonder whether you're misinterpreting the comment to which you're replying. And you're admonishing the good-faith commenter in an aggressive and mildly menacing manner.
There's a trend emerging, and it strongly suggests that a day without commenting would really help you.
You provided one screenshot of comments, no context on what your stance was, and said you were banned without providing that info either. You didn’t even state why you thought it was unfair, just said “being able to read Wikipedia.”
The fact that I already had to dig for the ban itself doesn’t help the cause on being able to make a judgment.
FTR: I agree that there’s systemic bias against Islamic contributions to society. I was taught about the golden age Islamic science/math achievements in my high school education but I know that’s not universal. Hell, I thought you were stating the Wikipedia page as spoken gospel.
Assuming hostility when I constructed my response on the information provided is unnecessary.
You can read the screenshots of the comments which were removed they contain no hostility. Only facts. Yet they were removed as misinformation.
The link to the post is in my post. Little digging is needed. lemmy.world/post/53701678/26577239
You defend the moderators decision without any knowledge of the situation and tell me I should not complain about receiving a one day ban without acknowledging the ban is unjustified nor the comments will not be reinstated
Bait Provoked Reaction =/= YDI.
BPR = mod overreacted in a heated situation. If the comments were genuinely hostile then it’d be a rule break and a different post entirely.
You have several comments on that same post that still remain up. There are also other removed comments in that same thread in response to you. I’m not sure what else you’re asking for here; you’re free to dislike my opinion, but it remains on the same grounds.
It is a comment making a claim about what a Wikipedia and Google page says. Not bait or a heated discussion. The made up unsourced misinformation from the other poster is all still up but my factually correct claim about what Google and Wikipedia say has been deleted.
You are quick to call my comment bait. Then tell me I should not throw a tantrum. And now you then walk it back as if you did not do that.
Oh for chrissakes:
From the rules bar:
Does that mean I baited the mod? I cannot see how my comment is in any way provoking it is quoting what Wikipedia and Google say.
No! There’s just no other fitting acronym. That was my entire point. “Breathe” was also intended to encourage you to remember that one mod’s decision is not reflective of you and that your time is worth more than that stress, in a positive way.
