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.

###the culture war is a beautiful thing
it just keeps on giving and i know some people say oh its so divisive and its so toxic but when the left and the right are at each others throats it means were actually talking about the real issues and not just some watered down pc nonsense
###you gotta love real talk
all these novel perspectives brought to the forefront i mean think about it weve got people from all walks of life sharing their thoughts and opinions and its this beautiful mess of ideas and its not always pretty but its real and its honest and its what america is all about
###the fake news media is just mad
the msm wants to spin it as this negative thing that makes them money but really its a blessing in disguise because were not just sitting around twiddling our thumbs were actually engaging with each other and were actually fighting for what we believe in and making funny memes without the mainstream media
###im just a patriot
i know some people are gonna say well wait chad youre not saying what i think youre saying but let me break it down for you
###the future of america is worth fighting for
in the end its all worth it because its something bigger than ourselves and i know we can make this nation great again if we just keep on fighting and never stop fighting each other
