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.
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.

MODERATORS
Just, wow 🤩
Because it’s irrelevant to the discussion. I’m not the one on the stand, defending my actions and seeking validation for doing shit that should probably warrant me being removed as a moderator- you are.
I’m just offering advice. And it’s coming from both barrels because due to the nature of what you did, and how fucking smug you are about it here- I honestly didn’t feel you deserved it served any other way.
Want respect? Then be respectful. And the fact that you’re here being an ass to people because they called you out for acting like the very thing you claim to stand against, clearly shows that you are not.
If I were you, I’d make a stickied post in your community offering an apology and a promise to never do that shit again.
Be better.
…says the person that uses cartoons to respond to legitimate criticism.
And you wonder why I call people trolls.
You could have chosen to learn from this, but instead you chose to lean into it. I really hope this gets more traction. People need to see who you are.
I’m the one criticizing a kid posing memes in response to someone criticizing them for running their community like a dictator- while simultaneously claiming to want to unite everyone against a dictator.
You’re a kid posing memes in response to someone criticizing you for running a community like a dictator- while simultaneously claiming to want to unite everyone against a dictator.
If you spent half the time it takes you to make shitpost memes- actually owning what you’ve done and learning from it…..
Nah…son, you can’t even spell. I’m posting facts.
…refreshes for the inevitable edit
I’ve no clue what the fuck you’re talking about. Was that quote supposed to be me?
Either way…
Since you’ve now resorted to shitting all over the chess board which is the tell of a troll when they are desperately seeking an escape, it’s safe to say you have nothing left.
I tried, like everyone else here- to explain to you how deleting shit you don’t like is embarrassingly shitty behavior for a mod- and this is how you chose to deal with it.
Go ahead and victimize yourself however you feel you need to not have to take responsibility for your actions. I’m done with it.
Thankfully it will remain here for everyone to see who you are…. Son.
Go crap all over this protest I posted, since you’re full of it. Prevagen, look it up. 👀
Sorry for the delay, it took me a while to find the goalposts you just moved. Managed to find them all the way over here by this random request of yours for me to “crap all over” a post you made in another community?
Why would I do that in a community where you’re not a mod there that’s responsible for removing comments you don’t like?
You see? My problem isn’t with the content of the post, It’s with the character of the poster.
I thought I made that pretty clear.
And lastly, what medications you’re taking is entirely irrelevant to the discussion, and won’t buy you any sympathy form me.
I genuinely feel sorry for you. I always think, maybe a little animosity and ribbing will snap someone back to being nice. And, it almost always fails. I don’t know who hurt you, or how, to make you be such a massive piece of shit to people. But, that’s immaterial now. You are too old and set in your ways to turn over a new leaf. 🍃 You lack compassion, empathy and humility. And despite your projection, it’s no one’s fault but your own. I wish you the best. Find a community of friends where hate is not the common bond, but kindness and compassion is. Try to build relationships instead of destroy them. Life is too short to spend it getting dopamine hits from owning people on line. Peace ✌️
Ahhh… Now I’m apparently old an out of touch? There appears to be no end to the excuses you’ll make to discredit any criticism I have against your behavior. I wonder why that might be?
And look at that! It seems you’ve branched out into concern trolling as well. I love that for you!
Head up- No amount of attacks toward at others- regardless of what you disguise them as, will hide teh fact that you’re a sad little hypocrite of a moderator that used your authority to silence voices that disagreed with your ideology-
-the very thing you pretend to be so adamantly against.
And… You can be absolutely certain that in any future interactions I have with you- this will be brought up. Because people need to be made aware of those that misuse their authority…
… go ahead and tell me you disagree.
(Oh, and one last thing- I purposefully left a word un-spellchecked just for you buddy! I know how much you love lording that shit over others, so… Let ‘er rip, bud!)
