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.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- 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.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
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.

The reality you refuse to acknowledge is that the millions of people the Nazis wanted to kill included trans people.
You are trying to create a distinction that doesn't exist in order to spread disinformation and transphobic hate, "no true Scotsman"-ing Nazis in order to pretend they were different from MAGAs in a way they are 100% not.
You're a fucking Nazi/MAGA apologist and it's time for you to get banned.
U completely misunderstand what I'm trying to say. Let's solve this with a trolley problem.
U have a trolley on a track with 3 options on track A u have 2 trans people, 3 Jews, 4 coloured people, and 2 mentally disabled. On track B u have 2 trans people and that's it and on track C u have no people.
Obviously track C is ideal. All I'm trying to say is the guy who switches track c to track a is significantly worse than the guy who switched track c to track b. And by saying both these people are equivalent is undermining the word used for the guy who switched track c to track a.
Btw do u think ~50% of Americans are Nazis cos they voted for trump?
Nazis tie trans people to railroad tracks and choose to run them over and you're saying Nazis aren't transphobic. There's not a finite number of tracks. They chose who they were killing. The fact is that they chose to kill trans people. They didn't have to (they didn't have to kill anyone), but they did.
