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.

Sounds like Discuit should add apub integration. At this day and age it honestly baffles me that people like the devs of raddle and discuit go all like "No we don't want to talk to anyone else. You have to join our walled garden!"
There are at least 4 or 5 forums on /r/Redditalternatives which could definitely benefit from ActivityPub, but they don't see the appeal.
One of them even asks for people credit card information to avoid bots
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
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.
