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.
- 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
Tell them boy!
It is content censorship, also known as moderation.
Your comment is overgeneralizing and dehumanizing entire groups. Jews and black people are individuals. They do not have some kind of cultural dogma or collective groupthink. So no, I don't know what you mean, and it sounds an awful lot like you're implying one or both groups are bigoted towards each other.
And even if there's historical examples you can point to, they aren't representative of current individuals.
Even looking at the context, just glibly throwing out, "Well, you know how Jews and black people are," does not look good.
YDI.
Why did this get removed?
Because it's fucking racist you goon.
YDI enforcing the instance rules isn't powertripping
YDI, you have a long history of racist commenting and this isn't even the worst thing you've said. Consider yourself lucky you weren't banned much sooner for the racist garbage you've been spewing.
YDI
Rare instance where .ml actually banned a racist under "rule 1"
"Chinaman" is an outdated and deogratory term. You can criticize the CCP without resorting to racial slurs. @sunzu2@thebrainbin.org
Wow, that's a lot of dog whistles and racism. YDI for sure.
YDI and so does anyone else trying to pretend that racist apologia is the new normal.
