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.

Meh it's their community, they can do as they please. I could see some more controversial subs choosing this for themselves, and in that context with full consent of those involved it seems fine to me. aka free speech isn't anywhere close to free.
it's definitely not happening in only either of those conditions. i've only caught on after the the two years because it how heavily reddit obfuscates it. I actually thought I was imagining things until I could confirm I saw it happening to other people and then knew how to search for another thread about it.
On Lemmy, or Mbin, or PieFed, or in Mastodon, or PeerTube, or Loops, I presume Friendica, etc., basically any open source federated software product I mean, you can make you own server, create your own sub/community/magazine/whatever-it-is-called, and invite people to post in it, or just post yourself, and nobody can stop you. They can defederate from you, thereby refusing to offer your content a platform on their own machines, but they can't tell you what to do on your own machine that you pay for and administer.
Arguably using Reddit is giving consent to them doing this stuff. We could not stop them, hence we came here to be free of it, and now we are:-). But anyone who continues to use Reddit continues to offer consent for Reddit to keep doing this stuff, if they want to.
guess it's really time to pull the plug then. the volume of content might not be worth hanging around there for anymore
It is for some people, looking for particular niche interests. Personally I haven't posted in 2 years or commented in 1 year... and that was recommending that people check out Lemmy. To each their own I suppose though - if someone wants it that's fine, but it is what it is, not necessarily what we hope it would be.
