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
For transparency reasons: I've DMed @tragicnotcute@lemmy.world (As suggested in the earlier conversation... To have another mod look at it.)
I think the other mods in !fediverse@lemmy.world are more nominal members. I can't see any activity from them. It's mainly @woelkchen@lemmy.world doing all the work there. Ruud is the instance admin and probably the last person we want to bother with small drama, and the other two don't have any activity federated to me for months.
(And maybe you want to contact the inactive mods in your community and see if you want to replace them.)
Any news on your side?
No. I don't know why woelkchen said there are X other mods in the community. TragicNotCute didn't respond (yet) but it's only been 23h and they don't seem very active with moderation anyways, their last mod action is from 3 months ago. I guess they should have seen my DM by now.
Do you have any specific course of action in mind? I'd say lets wait another day and give them some time. But I'm not holding my breath.
Let's wait another day and see. If nothing happens (which is the most probable outcome), then we can probably rise it to woelkchen as a need for additional active mods.
I pinged that mod in another comment too. Agreed with the rest of your comment.
