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 mean ... That statement itself isn't just anti-zionist. You literally say a whole group of people should not exist. It's only not technically racist because it's a religious slant, not a racial one. It's still hateful.
I am pro-Palestinian, too. That doesn't mean I think all Israelis should die.
That's completely ridiculous. How the hell do you get from "Israel doesn't have a right to exist" to "all Israelis should die?" Israel is a state, saying it doesn't have a right to exist is opposing the state, the same way if I said "Nazi Germany doesn't have a right to exist" I'm not calling for everyone in Nazi Germany to be put to death, I'm calling for the elimination of the state.
Well that’s great, but they didn’t say Israelis should die either, so I dunno why you’re claiming they did.
Nowhere does it say all Israelis should die, it says the nation doesn't have a right to exist.
Those are two different ideas. Like how Israel says Palestine doesn't exist, and also commit genocide to its people. There are nations that don't think Palestine exists and don't do that. Same for Israel.
Israel is a terrorist organization not a group of people.
My statement is the literal definition of anti-Zionism.
