Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

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.

Ye I know, it's fucking bizarre. Every 6 months, a new reddit alternative comes up which doesn't have apub and expects to get user by sheer charm or smt.
Lol, at an age where people are preconditioned to assume this means a subscription lock-in and the rest don't even own one, I wonder how many people took them up on that offer.
I also love the naivety of thinking $3 once will stop spammers. As if that wouldn't be a perfectly cheap amount to pay to spam all their users if they had a lot of them. Twitter has $8 a pop and it's innundated with spam
Well put. It's a bit disheartening, because people put time and energy in those projects, that could be used to develop the existing open source platforms...
Software devs and their "I can build this better from scratch in one weekend" mentality, mate...
Maybe its old age and laziness, but at least 99 times out of 100 I think "someone else built this better from scratch in a weekend, I should check some git repos first".
If I find nothing, start a project, get it functional, and then randomly run across exactly what I'm looking for (or close enough with minor updates I can send upstream).
Reminds me that we could keep an eye on https://clubsall.com/
Okay so while true, this is also highly ironic given the nature of the OP.๐
I'll restate your words as "instead of splitting our efforts, why not contribute towards enhancing the existing options...?" (I know the answer, I'm just saying it's ironic ๐)
That's fair ๐ As stated in the OP, in this case there is no effort to join on the LW community unfortunately ๐
I don't know the game so therefore why you'd want to promote a second community for it, but if you feel that you want to, then go for it! But yeah you definitely seemed to have pissed off the owner of the previous one, so I'm not sure it's worth that - and yet with all the delays in federation of content (not only to Australia and New Zealand but also I've definitely been impacted by it several times in the USA) I do see that there is some value there.
I almost wonder if it's worth offering to hand the new community over to Serinus if all you want is to help move some communities off of Lemmy.World. On the other hand, there are so many problems with that like how cross-instance mod reports don't federate yet, and there seems to be some special reason (the specific computer coding) to keep that particular one on Lemmy.World.
In that case then, is there any reason why Serinus should be particularly happy about you having created the other community, without consulting them first? All the more reason to not go into their community then and post advertisements to move over to the new one? Even if you meant well, Serinus may not see the same value in that which you do, so I think that was a bit of a mistake on your part. Even as Serinus' reactions here and there are on them (which I told them as well, directly).
You might rather enjoy working together to achieve both of your aims rather than being at odds with one another... ofc you do you, and whatever you feel you must, I just hoped that might spark something in you, even if I am too far removed to fully see all of the situation to make an accurate judgement call.:-)
To be completely fair, I might not stick with the game much longer. The company which manages it recently enshittified it, so the player experience is getting worse and worse.
We'll see!
Yikes, that happens so very often: they lure people in then abuse them for cash, just like Google and Microsoft and Apple and Meta and Reddit and X etc. It would be cool if people developed better open source alternatives.:-) But especially it gets so tricky with anything multiplayer bc people want so very badly to cheat:-(.
They just made the game very difficult for new players, basically killing userbase renewal.
Milking benefit before killing the game as a whole.
A tale as old as time, and somehow we all keep falling for it, saying how THIS game will be different. And then it is... until it isn't anymore:-(.
I am sorry you are having to go through that.:-( I feel the same about my game that's currently doing the same as well. Another Eden is the only mobile ga(t)cha that I allowed myself to play, bc of it being a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger, arguably the best JRPG of all time. And it was that, for a time, and to some extent still is, but it is also in process to not be thus anymore, and has been moving steadily in that direction for a long time.
Then again, if I were still a mod of that community then I'd have to remain on Reddit where it stayed, so letting it go freed me to seek out other things such as Lemmy:-). Perhaps you won't have to "quit" yours just yet, even if you can no longer recommend it to newer players starting out. Another Eden has been coasting like that for years.
Sorry to hear too...
Thankfully we have !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works for hidden gems!
There was a plan (never successful, not actualy possible to implement) to put a price on email - a fraction of a cent per message, with proof of payment encoded in the headers to make scam spam uneconomical
That could never work with a reddit-like service, for money spam and for ideals trolling wouldn't care about $50 a year.
