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
Didn't we just do this a few days ago?
Apologies I missed that one.
I guess Im more asking people’s verdict on my particular ban
It's indeed exactly the same comments. I was banned along with you and posted it back then. In the other thread also Sunshine (the mod) responded but doubled down on her decision.
I find it very unfortunate that !vegan@lemmy.world apparantly doesn't allow for debates but I guess that's in the end the decision of the mods.
The ban definitely seems unnecessary
While I disagree with corpo speak, bans like that don't make much sense.
Just block the place and move on. That's the fedi way.
Everything was probably said in those 364 comments
I didn’t feel the need to check if my ban had already been discussed so didn’t know about that post until after posting.
