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
I'd be interested in moderating it to allow a differing option while removing gross misinformation.
With modern conservatives being pro-misinformation, that'd be a tall order.
However, seeing "SatansMaggotyCumFart" in conservative modlog does have a Federated republic kinda vibe.
"WhO GeTs To dEcIdE tHe TrUtH!?"
"...I get your point, but the moon most emphatically is not made of cheese regardless of what Sean Hannity insists."
You obviously haven't seen that one documentary with Wallace and Gromit
Tide comes out, tide goes in.
You can't explain that.
Fucking magnets.
You’re a better person than me. It would be nice to have a spot where people are allowed to pierce the right wing internet bubble without bans, but that will probably drive away the actual ~~reactionaries~~ conservatives.
It would mostly be keeping conversations civil while removing LGBT fearmongering I don't see it being that hard.
*record scratch*
I am with you... There is this assumption that all of these people are a certain way but that's very polarized view in its own right...
Great a space that welcoming of that discussion with moderation that doesn't allow threat actors spreading psyop shit.
If we can coexist with tankies why can't others join...
That's gonna be tuff me man...
I try to engage with the right as much as possible but the brain rot has escalated to the point where we are living in two different Americas.
But somebody got to do this hard work.
I'm piqued.
