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.

MODERATORS
These posts are very difficulty to evaluate, because it could be that the mods are paranoid, and reading the votes wrong, or the bans are legit and you're just lying about it. 🤷
check my modlog and comment history, I've never been on those communities. And since when was voting a bannable offense? One worthy of bans from multiple communities, but only on a single instance? This is your community, what is it for if not this? And what could I possibly be lying about?
It's one thing to be sceptical, it's another thing entirely to be wilfully credulous.
You got instance banned, this is how this is displayed on the modlog. You also seem awfully upset about someone saying there's no way to tell if you're lying. You need to chill a bit.
Also Not being in those comms won't prevent you from downvoting everything in them.
Finally I didn't tell you not to post, nor did I speak as a mod. I just expressed my personal opinion. Your reaction to it however is quite the escalation.
Ps: our instance recently also voted to sanction downvote trolls. So yes, absolutely, some types of voting can get admin attention.
no, an instance ban is different, it reads on a single line and is different from a community ban. this is multiple bans from several communities.
Feels like you are looking for problems here. I didn't downvote a bunch of random posts on unrelated communities in a single instance, because doing that would be fucking insane.
It's not like I'm talking about a ban that can be rationalised, I'm talking about a ban that legitimately makes no fucking sense, even if I had some kind of agenda. what would be my reason for mass downvoting unrelated communities on a small server no one has even fucking heard of?
as I said before; It’s one thing to be sceptical, it’s another thing entirely to be wilfully credulous.
Stop being this wilfully credulous on something so clearly open and shut; it should be below you, if you are actually capable of moderating a community. This is ridiculous.
Disengage
oh fuck off, I'll just make a new account, eat shit cunt. but for the record, I did not mass downvote anything. Fuck you, you powertripping mallcop bitch.
edit: fuckin "DiSeNgAgE", how embarrassing.
And I'm sure that with your shining personality you certainly won't attract the attention of the mods on your new account.
oh fuck off, you arent a mod, you are twat with a small amount of power, thats pretty clear. you got banned because you were a cunt on a previous account so you made this community out of spite. people used it for legit purposes, and most of the time your personality didn't come out, but I annoyed you, so you've gone immediately to bitch mode, abusing the same authority you created this community to cry about.
Fuck you, sincerely. if you want to get into the comments to spout your shitty opinion in future, I suggest you make a separate account for that. At least then you could clutch at the barest reaches of professionalism. What a clown.
Threatening to evade bans and behaving abusively towards others is a great way to get yourself banned again. It also reinforces the idea that YDI. Abusive behavior isn't something that is common among people who are innocent of wrongdoing, actually abusive behavior is considered wrongdoing in and of itself on most instances.
blah blah blah, boring cunt shit, you are a wank stick rubbing yourself to feel powerful. I have given up caring, this was alegitimate post, the point I made was honest, but now I've decided to burn my account because fuck it, if you guys are gonna be this fucking stupid then whats the point? "You were rude so obv you did the thing", truly out of this world intellectual analysis worthy of president camacho himself.
I got banned from several communities on an instance I do not recognise and have never knowingly visited. I did not comment, so my behaviour here is not really relevant is it? I can behave how the fuck I want when the ban I'm complaining about is not relevant to my method of commenting.
I was highlighting a legitimate issue, one I am sure you will eventually find to be worth addressing, but apparently this community is policed by credulous twats and populated by bottom feeding stunted cunts.
Say what you want. I just did. But I will not read it :D
This is the most abusive comment yet...

To me, it only seems abusive to OP's reputation. It's funny to imagine someone this furious in regular conversation. Otherwise, I can only accept that this is parody.
Mods, please don't remove these comments. They've genuinely given me a good laugh and they may give joy to others.
E: Mods, I'm mildly disappointed in you all. Clicking on OPs profile now leads nowhere. I was very interested in seeing how his/her comment career progressed.
Sadly the wayback machines only has one snapshot of his use page from a month ago, he only had one comment at the time.

This. It was a genuine comedy 😂
The admins of lemm.ee can unban and ban the OP to bring back profile visibility if they choose. Also shows that they recognize the abusive behavior as something that isn't welcome on lemm.ee

The fuck is up with you lmao. Anyways read the instance rules dipshit. YDI.
Lemmy has a feature to issue community bans when issuing site bans to remote users. Also some instances use scripts to apply community bans in tandum with site bans since site bans don't hard prevent participation in those communities on its own.
CAN YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INSTANCE BAN AND A COMMUNITY BAN? this is fucking nonsense. fuck you.
well I didnt mass downvote fuck all so back to the drawing board for you.
