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.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
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.

lemmy.flatworld at it again lmao, my bet is that they want to control all the main communities on the fediverse (the irony lol) and you don't seem like you would play ball
~~Doesn’t really have anything to do directly with LW. This is one person, who happens to be a mod of a community on LW, being mad at someone for having the same community somewhere else.~~
Edit: oooh, he’s part of the LW staff 😂
I’m 100% behind Blaze.
Someone on the LW Community Team, and able to lock down communities, has more rights than a normal LW mod
Thanks 😄
The strange thing is that I'm not completely against LW. The sysadmins do a great job, and offer a solid experience for a lot of users.
I usually post to LW communities like the ones I quoted above when it's a topic I'm not really that invested about, or when it's still niche on Lemmy, so having the main community on LW is just easier.
But on the other hand, when there's a topic I care about, I usually indeed try to offer an alternative on another instance like Lemm.ee. Just seems healthier to spread communities across instances a bit.
There is a battle between ML and world for this.
Really need people seeding communities on smaller servers
i have never seen such drama from .ml, which would be odd since its run by the devs who built this platform for the fediverse in the first place
ML was first big instance and they control some key subs like privacy and Linux. So people go in there posting then quickly realizing mocking shepoor will not be tolerated.
World is way more aggressively for sure and is constantly causing drama with their neo lib narrtaive weaving. Permabans for news and politics subs for unsanctioned opinions is their MO
Tankies don't do perma bans at least.
