I don’t think I’ll be taking any life advice from someone called the Steak and Butter Gal
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.
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.
Relevant comms
Please tell me how I am the asshole :)
You are not the asshole. As I said in the above post, if you're downvoting everything it's the wrong community for you.
The community is !carnivore@dubvee.org if anyone is interested in participating
I should be explicit - I welcome opposing views, constructive debate, polite back and forth of data and ideas. That is what i live for, that is the power of lemmy.
What I don't tolerate is hostility and making the community unfriendly to new posters. The intention is to create safe space for people to talk about carnivore, so attacking users either via antagonistic messages or downvoting their content isn't going to work for me.
Well said!

I would, but I'm instance banned from dubvee for being a Luigi supporter

Methinks you picked a bad instance for that :(
Unless the mod is straight up lying about you down voting everything in the thread: YTI.
The mod, Jet, has a shitty tool that considers someone to 'down vote everything' if someone down votes the single comment that Jet added to one of his own posts in his misinformation spreading communities as he explains here: https://lemmy.world/post/29364582/16948483
Currently it does not, if someone really dislikes a community enough to down vote a post and then go through the effort to open it and also down vote the only comment, it’s a strong signal they are not a good fit for the community
That's right, if you open a single post by Jet in one of Jet's misinformation communities you saw on All and down vote the post and Jet's one comment that expands on the misinformation then you are accused of 'down voting everything' and banned from all of Jet's communities. That includes seeing a single post in All, opening it and down voting the post and the comment.
the ban only applies if the account never comments, posts, or upvotes. A strictly negative interaction signal.
Though, even then a minimum threshold should be set. That's just all kinds of stupid.
OP downvoted every post in the comm. That's not a shitty tool, that's a shitty user
Edit: It's hilarious how biased parent commentor is, that he downvoted me pointing out something simple and obvious.
I would agree if you was in a community called nutrition or diet.
If a sub is explicitly dedicate to disinformation, we should just respect that. \s
You can just ignore the community if you disagree with everything in it.
YTA.
