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.

Ah yes, as we are on the comm "MyHouseMyRules"
As much as I hate to agree with them, spujb is right about this one. Ada made her stance on the matter clear, and IIRC, it's an official rule now.
So a preemptive ban isn't exactly uncalled for here considering the disrespect in that last screenshot...
Okay?
"The rules are the rules" seems to run contrary to the spirit of this place.
Furthermore, the issue is compounded by the fact that the rule is being applied for behavior outside of that space.
Are we looking at the same screenshot?
I'm on mobile so I can't reply and read the screenshot at the same time, but it said something that implied certain neopronouns are delusional, or "not living in reality."
It's disrespectful whether you think she's right or wrong. And what's perhaps even worse than that, it mirrors what right wingers say about trans people in general. We're better than that.
When they ask about neopronouns? And then are corrected on the matter, as neopronouns were unrelated to the issue despite multiple people bringing it up in bad faith?
dude get it into your head that trans people are absolutely miserable and getting treated like shit EVERYWHERE on the internet right now. go to instagram. go to facebook. go to tiktok. fuck, go to reddit, you will see an INSANE amount of antitrans rhetoric. under ANY trans person’s content, there will inevitably be at least one fucking comment questioning their identity.
you don’t empathize because you have never faced it. imagine waking up every. singe. day. knowing that you will be a victim and there’s nothing to do about it.
ONE WOMAN. only ONE person hosting ONE space has put effort into making sure no trans person will EVER experience that by doing a VERY SIMPLE RULE: blanket ban. take it elsewhere. and guess what? IT BALOONED. more than TWO THOUSAND people migrated between 196 communities, because THEY FELT COMFORTABLE in the space Ada creates.
do you tell Black people how to run their internet spaces? what about Yemenis or Palestinians who also face genocide? the arrogance.
Oh cool, so you're going to harass a trans person on the internet in response to that! Lovely.
"You've never faced the fear of being a victim because you're just some impoverished, intermittently homeless disabled mixed-race guy."
Yes, I have no idea.
This is exactly the reason why you bullied a trans user off this space. You have no capacity to consider the world around you. Everything is interpreted through an egocentric lens.
That's funny considering the conduct towards numerous trans folk who've disagreed with her. But they're gone now - banned, reduced to atoms - so you can pretend they never existed.
I'd put that much more up to the atrocious way the 196 mods attempted the move.
you’re so funny
Good job the message uh… the message finally got to you did it? Yes.
I love that you literally don't get it even after it's explicitly pointed out.
dude take a joke
"Ha ha just kidding" is up there with "Um, despite seven previous comments demonstrating understanding of the argument, suddenly I don't understand????" for the most common bullshit you trot out.
you’re really mean you know that. tell all your trans friends what a great service you are doing them by shouting me, specifically, down right now.
Will that make you feel better about playing Mean Girls games whenever a trans user commits the crime of Wrongthink against Blahaj outside of the instance?
Sorry for being mean :"( to someone who thinks tone is a replacement for decency.
good, good, keep insulting me. honestly i don’t mind because it keeps your anger from hurting actual trans people. :)
Unfortunately, you and your ilk remain free to hurt actual trans people.
indeed i am! look at me harming them 😘
Keep playing and enabling harassment games against trans folk who think wrong, I'm sure someday the consequences will lead to a trans community that is finally Pure Of Thought.
