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.
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.

That l.w. TOS is getting quite long, eh?
I mean, considering that the most recent revision is to explicitly allow for discussions and advocacy of jury nullification even in the case of murder and violent crimes, I don't know that it's got much power-tripping bastard energy. Just another notch for "Lemmy.world is a slapdash project putting things together as they go", which most of us knew.
It is somewhat hilarious to read all the comments saying the exact opposite of that though. Some of them almost outright state how they did not bother to read it in the slightest, while others merely make that clear based on what they claim about it.
Whenever I think that people won't surprise me any longer, a whole bunch of volunteers show up to lower the bar.
I don't mention it as a bastardly evidence, more of a thing to go "hmm" about
I just hope this brings people to go to other instances. I've started a thread on !discuss@discuss.online to see whether the admins would be okay for their instance to become to go-to suggestion for US-specific communities, let's see how it goes.
