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.

If my parents and grandparents can understand it or at least learn to accept it, so can your average person. We're being true to ourselves. We're living our lives the way we see fit. We are alive, at least for now, and I will stand my ground because I'm not a pussy-ass bitch who'd sell out my friends and family to make a bigot happy.
If you want to hurt yourself to make the cis people happy, then go knock yourself out, I suppose. However I'd appreciate it if you'd do it a nice, safe distance away from my family, friends and I; which means queer safe spaces don't seem like your speed.
Me? I'll be encouraging my friends and family to thrive and be the people they've always wanted to be.
I'm sorry you've never had anyone to give you that strength.
Ok, you aren't using Neopronouns so that really isn't relevant. Your pronouns say she/they
Would your grandparents respond positively to you trying to convince them you are a dog?
I wore my opossum tail during family Christmas. No one cared. I wore my collar. No one cared. I wore my furry stuff and carried my plushies around and despite being 30yrs old, you know, the age well beyond the point where you're supposed to have grown out of that stuff, no one cared. This was in Texas.
You know why I wore my opossum tail and collar? Because at the end of the day I feel like I have an opossum's soul and it honestly feels really weird not to wear them. I'm fucking skrunkly and constantly worried about everything. Did I make a big deal out of it though? No. I just lived my life the way I wanted to and no one had a problem with it. The reason I don't use neopronouns has nothing to do with their validity, I simply find them awkward. However I will not tell someone they are invalid or they shouldn't use them themselves.
Oh, and before you try to tell me I'm invalid, I'm AMAB. I'm trans in more than one way.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Nah, they're minor on a society-wide scale, like lesbian separatists in the 60s. We have bigger, deeper problems causing rising conservatism, unfortunately.
Sorry, I had to take a screenshot of your original response because I don't think I've ever made someone this mad just by being right.
Also, why does it matter to you how I express myself? Again, grow up.
I literally just told you that I'm 30, lmao.
And yeah, I've experienced a lot of prejudice too. I've had to deal with decades of emotional abuse from people I considered to be friends just for being trans not even because I'm therian, just because I'm trans. That's why I don't give a shit anymore. That's why I decided to grow a spine and live my life the way I desire; and that's why I'll encourage my friends and family to do the same. If you don't like it, that's your problem, not mine.
I literally don't care what you do , you showed up here trying to fight me
I said trans people aren't dogs or dragons, that's not what being trans is.
And I was banned for saying it by a space I didn't use, like the shitty reddit automod does.
And this is the place where people post about this kind of stuff.
You came here and started attacking me because you get dopamine for being tribalistic
