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.
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.
YTPB 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.

The fact you belive that one must be a troll to support russia is a great evidence everyone is better if you keep away from political discussion. You ate too much propaganda, maybe detox from capitalist press and learn a bit about history?
If you’re supporting Russia’s invasion of a sovereign country and all the war crimes that go along with it you’re as bad as someone who’s supporting Israel’s genocide of the Palestine people.
I like your name
Damn you guys reach new levels of dumb every passing day
Which part of what I said is dumb?
The part where you side with imperialism in the case of ukraine and then against it in the case of palestine.
I’m siding with small countries being illegally invaded by larger counties as the large country is committing war crimes against the smaller one.
I’m being very consistent.
No no, imperialism is when you defend yourself from imperialist invasions according to .ml weirdos.
You are in the kindergarden of politics, but yes, you are kindergarden level very consistent
So when I get into grade school level politics I’ll start to understand some genocides are justified?
It is justified when god's chosen people do it.
With ideas like that i doubt youll ever get into grade school
Says the dipshit who’s political understanding boils down to doing the opposite of the US even when it means supporting imperialism and genocide.
Critical support is for brain dead fucks.
Odd how you replied to this and then within the hour .ml jumped on you.
Almost like they brigade people or something.
Can you point one such case?
such keen political insights
Ohh i didn't know the definition of imperialism is getting invaded by another country.
Ohh remember when the time India become imperialist when British Empire colonized them? I sure do!
If you are able to read, id suggest lenins book in the subject
Ps: you guys reach new levels of dumb over the course of hours
Uh huh, i don't care about lentils book or your "huhu i'm smart yur dum" comment, i just wanna know what do you mean by being on the imperialist side, so do explain to us dum dum why siding with ukraine is imperialism since you're so smart.
Ukraine fights under NATO orders. Who pays, give the orders, provide military equipment and intel for Ukraine in this conflict? As burguerlanders use to say "follow the money"
Uh huh, so why are they provide support to Ukraine? And what is this conflict about?
It’s been about regime change, Balkanization, and plundering of Russia for a very long tme^1^3.
And all the US support is lend-lease, which the Ukrainian working class will be paying back for generations^5.
Uh huh uh huh, so why would you say "plundering of Russia" when Russian force are the one that moving west? Who started the current conflict?
Thank for being honest, the rest is politic.
sees lemmy.ml
I feel like I could sleepwalk into your response. Practically a meme.
Anyway, OP deserves it, but wow you leaned in hard on "falling for western propaganda" or whatever. OP deserves it for claiming someone is a troll or bot or something. How is your comment that different from theirs?
