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
OP is at best is a useful idiot...
But I still don't agree with censorship. Correct their bullshit and move on. These parasites hoping to get new recruits but that only works if person is not provided all information on the topic. So just drop proper counter arguments and let people make up their own minds.
Censorship breeds extermism and these idiots rely on disgruntled people as a source for new recruits.
Deny the parasite that source with transparent online discussion.
Explain how i'm an idiot
You bring up non sequiturs, namely here conscription...
It is a defensive war, conscription is the standard process once volunteers are gone. Ukraine is third year into the war.
Do you cry when Russia sent conscripts in for invasion?
Or sending ethnic minorities to fight Russia's invasion?
Asking for a friend
Forced conscription is a violation of human rights and pointing it out is something everyone should do, especially when people are glorifying and praising as hero the authoritarian rulers behind it.
Drafting people by force is the standard process of authoritarian states like russia. If you were russian and china invades the country would you be fine with the government drafting you by force and arresting you if you try to flee the border?
Draft is slavery regardless of who is doing it.
sure thing buddy...
