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.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- 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.
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.
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.
- 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.

Fuuuuuck I have to change instances again...
Anybody got a recommendation?
Join us on dbz0! I just migrated yesterday and already love it here.
It's pretty dope to be part of a community that's pro piracy.
Just looked it over and immediately applied. Big fan of the vibe. Looking forward to adding my cultural and biological distinctness to your own.
Buddy you gotta at least take me to dinner first.
One of us! One of us!
we have a community for that too!
Is there a way to quickly migrate communities you follow?
Yes, you can export your settings (including subscriptions) from your settings panel in the Web UI
That’s awesome!
Not that I can see.

How do you migrate? So sick of the libs of .world
in your settings page is an export button, which lets you download your subscriptions and block list, which you can then import into a new Lemmy account on a new instance.
Thank you so much!
No prob, hope you find a good instance to call home :D
You just make an account on another instance. I think there is a way you can migrate sub/block lists and such but I didn't bother so I couldn't tell you how.
ShitJustWorks or dbZer0?
Thanks. I'm going to check them both out.
I had been thinking about moving to dbzero for a while. Might see if I can move my data tomorrow!
Commenting here to remind myself to possibly migrate
I came back on my new account to help remind you.
Can you migrate or gotta redo settings etc all over again?
Lemmy has an export / import function now
My friend. Between this and the book links above, you are dropping the hits out here lol. Thank you!
If you feel like going for a hat trick - happen to have a link to a straight forward and non-"newsy" copy of the video?
Your wish:

Fuck yeah. This is what the Internet is for, this stuff should be the easiest thing. Cheers!
That'll be pretty useless if most of their communities are lemmy.world communities, it's not a good idea to divorce an instance but still participate and be dependent on their communities, unless you're willing to obfuscate your activity with alts that aren't connected to you. Otherwise they'll just ban you from those communities anyway.
Also be warned, it doesn't take your post history, or even saved posts with you, if you want saved posts you have to bring them manually, and you can't take post history with you at all.
Probably not a big deal for the majority of people. Just link your old profile in your bio if you want to keep your "reputation"
Also a "reputation" on the internet is worth the paper it's printed on.
Which is to say no one prints these things.
Reputation can just be "recognized". I remember probably between 25 and 50 usernames here, most of them for good reasons, it's good to be able to recognize them even if they move instances
Saved posts will probably be a bigger deal since people saved them for a reason.
Also I did mention bringing history with you because spiteful admins can wash your history away when you can't bring it with you. If you could claim and reassigned ownership of the federated posts and comments they'd only be able to wash it away from the communities they moderate.
How many saved posts do people have on average?
I'm not sure, I know that on this account I have over 100. On Lemmy.world I probably have way more. I have 40 on pawb.social. I have a lot here though. Much less on the others since I use those accounts less but I still have a handful on all the others.
Interesting. I probably have less than 20
https://lemm.ee is generalist, second biggest instance, cool admins, federated with almost everyone
Lemmy.zip is a bit more techy, but very transparent: https://lemmy.zip/post/27236300 also federated with almost everyone
If you look for instance defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad, there is https://sopuli.xyz/ and https://discuss.online/
https://reddthat.com/ is nice too, but disables downvotes
Other than occasional downtime from expired certs been loving ~~sfd.org~~ lemmy.sdf.org
Or ttrpg.network
Don't you mean https://lemmy.sdf.org/ ?
Yes thank you
