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.

Hey man, I know that Dragonfucker is a troll, and I'm not defending their behavior or saying they aren't doing this (not saying they are either) but we shouldn't dismiss the idea of people identifying in unique ways like drag claims to. Xenogenders are valid and so are therians. I think that using they/them is the least we can do in this situation, and not deliberately use gendered pronouns to describe them. In dragonfucker's case they want us to do more but they're clearly not acting in good faith, if someone were, I would try and also encourage others to do so, but dragonfucker literally harassed me in DMs and publicly they have not shown any indication of good faith conduct. They just need to be banned like DroneRights and linkerbaan were.
The person tried to tell me that a gender can be an occupation, indicating that a woman's gender could be homemaker or something. I'm not going back to read it.
If they are serious about rights, they would understand how misanthropic that is. 100% troll. There should be a feature to decline to federate specific user's posts and comments.
