YDI, I live in Ukraine.

You are a tankie! And we both know you are lying about your alleged concern for human rights.

Let's hope one day you will be on the recieving end of russian genocidal imperialism.

The story of Donbas Cowboy, Russell Bentley also comes to mind for some reason:

Bentley’s wife, Lyudmila, then claimed that Russian soldiers from a tank battalion abducted him.

According to the Investigative Committee, Vansyatsky, Agaltsev, and Iordanov tortured Bentley on April 8, and he died shortly afterward.

Vansyatsky and Agaltsev are suspected of blowing up a car with Bentley’s body in it and ordering Bazhin to get rid of what was left of his remains.

"A tankie is anyone that defends authoritarian state-capitalist dictators and the atrocities they've committed and continue to commit. "

I'm not defending any authoritarian state or ruler. I'm pointing out the wrongdoings perpetrated by one.

And we both know you are lying about your alleged concern for human rights.

I'm not lying perhaps you are. There are credible source pointing out human rights are being violated starting with the rule that no male between 18-60 can leave the country.

Let’s hope one day you will be on the recieving end of russian genocidal imperialism.

I hope that one day you and your people will be free from the russian empire and from your current authoritarian government.

You are a tankie! Don't play dumb with me, look at the age of my account, I've been using Lemmy for a while.

You think you are the first tankie to come up with the "I just care about human rights" shpeel.

Everything about your style and tone points to malicious behaviour.

It's transparent that you're using mandatory conscription (which is legal in a state of emergency) as a hook to promote key russian propaganda narratives.

You're not fooling anyone!

You should be aware that despite his claims, Skiluros is not from Ukraine, and more precisely, not from the region he claims to be from. Most likely, he has never been there, as he fails to recognize some basic local jokes (check our conversation in this thread). He's just a NAFO troll who pretends to be Ukrainian so that some unaware people will take his crap more seriously.

Thanks for the warning. I don't think picking a fight with him is much useful, don't attack him personally for lying bur rather explain to him why lying is wrong.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

749 readers

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.
