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
As I told PugJesus in a PM a few days ago, I am starting suspect the instance, its admin and many of its mods are actually trolls.
They're gatekeeping what it means to be trans. It's so painfully obvious, c'mon dude. It actually makes me really sad to see you saying this.
He's also a gatekeeper, check the modlog of his account. That's why he hates Blahaj. That's why anyone hates Blahaj.
I'm gonna have to go through his profile and see if that's true at some point. If so, that's very disappointing. I woulda thought that a furry, of all people, would understand why gatekeeping is a bad thing.
Modlogs will tell you.
Maybe if everyone is banned for the same rule the admins are abusing the rule
This has been ongoing since December, admins abused their bans to crush dissent and use Gatekeeping as the excuse that their justice addicted users dogpile on.
All dissent is banned from blahaj
lol
Yeah that's also what I would say when someone points out me saying dumb shit and I don't know what to say
Check the modlog and y'all will see why Kolanaki hates Blahaj. Here's a hint, same shit as OP and PJ.
Since when is expressing an opinion gatekeeping? Unless they're obfuscating the comments in the modlog, you can see what I said.
Your mask is slipping here.
I have literally nothing to hide. If you think otherwise, I'd like to hear it.
Not believing in dragons?
It really feels like it.
I joined the Fediverse recently and looked for the trans community, what I found was tribalistic infighting, tone policing, and ironically gatekeeping. Literally worse moderation and vibes than the lgbtq subreddits I was on.
Is there another reddit like space people from reddit can move to that isn't the Fediverse?
Unironically, hexbear.net
You can tell what they want about their communities, but their respect towards trans people is top notch.
Aren't those communities for tankies?
I was already banned from .ml for referring to Xi as a dictator. So idk if I would fit in there.
