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.

MODERATORS
Quote the rule under it should have been removed, I dare you. Just not ridiculous arbitrary "trolling" as so far I see your comments as trolling more than his - in this thread anyway.
I'm not the kind of person who maintains a 300 page rules document for most to ignore and for a few dedicated others to dig for loopholes. Use your brain, common sense, and If you don't like how the comm is run, feel free to open another. I don't care.
No, you are definitely a kind of person who makes them up when you go along. In this case you even didn't bother to make it up I see, you just blatantly removed his comment because you didn't like it. You should have never became a mod.
Do a decent thing and apologise to him.
You realize I started this comm and this instance ye? Lol.
And?
it's their hardware.
actively disrespecting a user's identity def seems to fit under that
Are you taking the piss? He was referring to a user with identity "dragonfucker". Plus he wasn't disrespecting it. Plus there is absolutely nothing in rule you quoted about disrespect, try to understand what you are reading next time.
Disrespecting a trans user's identity isn't along the lines of hate speech and bigotry in your opinion? I disagree with that.
You don't have to 'get it' to respect it, and assuming that it's concern trolling does more harm than good
Respect or lack of thereof is not in the rule you quoted sweetie. Try to understand what you are reading.
I perceive your comments more as trolling than his.
Lol, blocked
What a wally ๐
