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.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- 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.

Are you saying those are my communities and my alts?
I'm saying that anyone can make a new account on Lemmy and keep trolling, and also use alt accounts to falsely accuse others of trolling and ban-evading.
Are you going to substantially change this comment after I’ve replied to it too?
I am curious tho why you didn't take a screenshot of your communities where you banned me for the exact same made-up reason. lmao
Ban evasion is against those instance’s TOSs.
It’s out of my hands.
But I wasn't, and still am not, evading any bans. That's my point from my original comment.
I’m not the one you need to convince that.
I never said you were.
I guess I’m confused then what are you saying?
If you don't understand in the context of this conversation, then I can't help you. Good luck!
If I feel I can clarify it more in order to avoid people misunderstanding, then maybe. Hence the "edit" button built into Lemmy. If you don't feel people should be allowed to edit comments, then you should write to the developers and see if they can incorporate that change into the next build.
What edit were you unhappy that I made?
