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.

I'm not sure what you are asking here
Democracies are filled with elected politicians power tripping, see global security law in france, germany government beating and arresting environmental activists or the orange man in USA deporting immigrants. Ukraine is under martial law which is a suspension of democracy and a form of dictatorship. Drafting people by force and arresting them if they try to leave the country is an authoritarian practice and a violation of people rights.
I wonder if you check any poll before making this statement or you just assumed it to be the case
Not sure what you are asking here either
You sound to me like someone who gets their news straight out of some propaganda machine. And you just regurgitate that and spew it out... Since you want me to do my research. Did you do your's? Have you been to Ukraine recently? Did you check the poll? Because it's certainly out there and I'd love to hear about the intricate details on how they did it wrong. And have you been part of a protest in Germany? Because last time I did was 2 days ago. And it didn't quite match your description. And I think nobody questions whether Ukraine is under martial law. There is a war waging in their country and people are literally dying. So you don't really need to repeat that every two sentences. Everyone is already aware of that.
I was commenting on a post at news@lemmy.world
I'm not the one claiming zeleskyy is or isn't popular among ukrainians. All i know is that some people died trying to cross the border which point out that not everybody is ok with his government.
I'm gonna assume what you were protesting was not the genocide in gaza or the climate crisis.
But that would still be a democracy, wouldn't it? I mean that's just concerned with how a government works and how it's backed and in relationship with the people.
And yes, I've not actively participated in those kinds of protests for a while... But I went past some minor ones and had a brief look at them. Plus I know some people who do such things. So I have relatively direct access to information.
And yes, people might be agitated. But I'm not sure if I get your point. Are you interested in Germany's society and democracy? And the fine nuances of our democratic processes and the police force and how good they are at their job? I mean there definitely are issues, we're not perfect. And there are both structural issues and people who are unfit for the job. But does that make Scholz a dictator? I'd say no.
So... What's the last Israel or climate crisis protest in Germany you've been participated?
If scholz were to pass martial law they would turn into a ruler that more resembles a dictator.
Anyway the "democracies" we live in have more in common with a dictatorship than the perfect ideal of democracy one has in mind. Go protest a topic your government doesn't like (gaza genocide for germany) and you will be treated close to how anti-war protesters get treated in russia.
So, why are you right on that? Did you try protesting gaza genocide? Did you see what happened?
I remember quite well some videos being posted here on lemmy like the police chasing the kid with the palestine flag.
So your source is in fact internet propaganda... Do you know why they did it? Or what happened to the boy after?
Police deemed a protest including violence and vandalism wasn't a good place for an unsupervised 10 year old boy. So they took him out of there, whether he liked it or not. And proceedingly returned him to his father. That's it.
I mean I wasn't there. But I have no reason to question the validity of that. And looking at the video, these policemen and women were super chill. They didn't lay a hand on that child. They barely touched him. And they completely ignored the protesters and bystanders throwing things at them and the kid. Which is very remarkable IMO. Usually if you throw things at police, they don't like that at all. Especially if they're not wearing a helmet.
"they took him out of there and returned him to his father"
You are making some big police apologia here, the video is there for anyone to see. A quick search on youtube with keywords like "police germany protest" will show plenty of videos of police gently helping people their way home.
What would you do? The law is pretty clear on that minors are to be protected from harm. Would you rather officials ignore the law and instead just do whatever they like to people? Would that be more democratic in your opinion?
