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.
YPTB 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.

Isn’t this the same dude that insists on referring to himself in the third person as “drag”?
Yeap....
He has to be the most downvoted person on all of Lemmy.
You forgot the ye olde english guy
I don’t think I’ve run into him yet, do I wanna know, or is it something I should remain blissfully unaware of as long as possible?
I think they don't post as much anymore but it was one person who kept posting while using the letter thorn (Þ, pronounced th as in the), people kept complaining that it made their posts less legible.
They ended up doubling down and incorporating other archaic letters, and over time they ended up writing all of their posts in very unreadable archaic writing.
“You know what? I’m just gonna make it impossible to understand a thing I say. That’ll show you all!”
Not the point, but didn't they use þ for the th in "three"? And then ð for that in "the"? That's their usage in Icelandic and I don't remember them using the letters differently. But my memory isn't worth much.
The person in question was very thorough about reviving older spelling conventions. I asked him about it once and he gave me a reply written in what he considered right. It was a LOT. Still, I'm impressed with his commitment to the bit.
Do you mean "☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆"? If so, they are very much still active, posting what looks to me at first glance as disinformation. Doesn't look to be getting many downvotes though I assume it's because people just block instead.
Can confirm, I am indeed blocking some special characters
Oh true. I am too lazy to edit my post tho
On the one hand, bringing back letters like thorn could help improve the readability of English by making it more clear what sound each character represents, especially for people learning English as a second language. We only dropped those letters because early movable type sets only included Latin letters, forcing printers to make do with sometimes unintuitive letter combos. But on the other hand, trying to force it by posting on Lemmy isn't going to accomplish anything.
People can't be bothered with to/too, there/their/they're, or lose/loose. You want them to learn another letter?
Oh I saw that guy! Can confirm it was annoying, but I like having a few eccentric annoying people on here. They're like mini celebrities.
That's fucking hilarious I love him
Okay, But thats actually cool
No it was really annoying
Indeed it is, they were banned from this instance for trolling and harassment, and were also permabanned from pawb.social for the same reason. They literally incited harassment towards me, made an alt and posted insanely disgusting content in a community with the purpose to defame me. Even sent me porn in my DMs, utterly disgusting piece of shit.
This is one of the people who needs to be banned everywhere (homeserver ban) sooner rather than later.
I think Dragon Rider is the drag person. Dragonfucker is someone else.
Nope. Dragon Rider is Dragonfucker's display name. Just like how my displayname is "Norah - She/They" but my username is "princessnorah"
Oh! Thank you, I didn't know that was a thing. I have no idea how things work here.
dragonfuckeranddragon "rider"are the same person. Dragonfucker is the username, which can't be changed. Dragon "rider" is their display name.
