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.

100% The whole point of us, as a species, putting together a representative government is for protection and support. Be it healthcare or "roving bands of outlaws"
Nearly every government currently in existence fails at that
Hell, even monarchistic governments existed for some type of "protection and support." We so need new ideas, both capitalism and communism are old, dead ideas that have valuable aspects that should evolve. But that's just what capitalists and communists hate, is evolving. Communists already seem to think Marx figured out "the solution" even though Marx thought a true Marxist society would need to be in perpetual revolution within itself, because there is no end to history.
If we are not taking the old ideas and improving on them, what the hell are we doing other than stagnating? I think that's the real issue, stagnation of ideas, a lack of social imagination for anything better. In the same way capitalists can see an apocalyptic end of the world but they can't imagine that post-world existing without capitalism, it seems the die-hard communists similarly can't imagine a future without communism.
