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
Tbh, this one is difficult to make a good PTB response about.
The closest I can get is it might be YDI, because your user history does show a proclivity to the kind of arguments that blahaj regularly uses as the criteria.
But, it could be PTB instead, since your user history is also free of actual gatekeeping comments, on this account.
But you do mention that this account is one of at least two, with the intent of keeping another account specifically for blahaj that you want to protect. If that's the case, we have no way of knowing what you've said where that could be a legit violation.
Now, the screen shots provided don't show you actually violating the rules, so, it's a qualified PTB where there's a possibility that you did and I just can't see it. If that's the case, I'd reserve the ability to change my mind.
I will say though, so far everyone that's posted about this has ended up having violated that rule and it just wasn't visible immediately. It's a controversial rule for sure, and preemptive bans even moreso.
Now with that out of the way, you did ask some questions about neopronouns that I never saw get answered. I will not dive into that on this thread because that's not what this community is for.
However, having had some recent exploration about neopronouns, xenopronouns and related issues, if you shoot me a DM or make a post in a community that is for asking questions about difficult subjects, I'll gladly share what I've found regarding what those things actually mean, and would likely be willing to briefly and civilly discuss my opinion on the matter. But I don't let internet arguments go very far, so remember that I won't be debating the issue, just explaining what I've learned and my opinion, so if it gets past the point where it's two folks having a chill conversation, I'm out. And, to repeat, I won't do that here, this isn't the community for that
