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
Ok and ?
the moderator was behaving reasonably given the context.
The context being, because other mods have banned me, this mod should to ?
A touch medieval don’t you think ?
a inflammatory statement wont be given the benefit of the doubt
So, I read the piece, my opinion of the piece is that it’s far too emotional.
So I wrote that.
If you are, as perhaps the moderator was, somehow inflamed by that, I can only apologies and wish you the best of luck with forums.
Alternatively, if I’m out line as you say, maybe I’m the one who should avoid taking the time to add comments and keep a dying platform alive for a bit longer ?
It's a anti-corporate forum, they wear their agenda on their sleeve. They are trying to suss out bias amongst their community.
By all means keep participating in lemmy, I enjoy your content and interactions.
