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
You are not the asshole. As I said in the above post, if you're downvoting everything it's the wrong community for you.
The community is !carnivore@dubvee.org if anyone is interested in participating
I should be explicit - I welcome opposing views, constructive debate, polite back and forth of data and ideas. That is what i live for, that is the power of lemmy.
What I don't tolerate is hostility and making the community unfriendly to new posters. The intention is to create safe space for people to talk about carnivore, so attacking users either via antagonistic messages or downvoting their content isn't going to work for me.
Well said!
I would, but I'm instance banned from dubvee for being a Luigi supporter
Methinks you picked a bad instance for that :(
You clearly do not welcome opposing views, you're as dishonest about your moderation as you are about your "sources"
Your opposing view is just denial... Show me a non-epidemiological published paper on the dangers of a ketogenic metabolism or animal based foods.. Change my mind please.
Every single source you've posted so far has either been completely unrelated to your claims or obviously methodologically flawed, I don't need a study to prove you're a lying sack of shit because you've already done the work for me
Refers to the Sidebar: "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."
Edit: And I did not, I think if you search for audience on a public site it should be the deal that the public is invited to discuss and form opinions by voting. I think there might be some interesting things about micronutrients and wether it is feasible to get them in any way other than meat but the things I downvoted I do not agree with. Please have your bubble but as I said I actually love meat, so I am not by any means radical about that. I'm here to discuss wether the feddit (Lemmy) community deems an opinion on a topic differing from the main line of a community expressed through voting an offence or a valid participation in the topic of a community...
You downvoted 19 out of 22 posts, including stuff like how to cook a steak. 86% downvote rate on posts - probably only that low because i posted after your banning, so yeah, your a raging asshole - i was just trying to be polite.
You are a fragile snowflake, and your communities are garbage spewing propaganda.
That isn't much for me to work with, you don't like my communities fair enough, but you haven't moved the discussion forward with any actionable idea, nothing for me to respond to. You don't like me, ok - I don't like you. Great, now we are even
Ah, but you gotta give him his platfrm to be an asshole, or you impede his right to FrEeZe PeAcH.
Actually, it's weird, they look pretty chill:

Not sure what is triggering them, but if they have any real issues with my nutritional communities I want to address it constructively.
Judging from their comment history, they're just your average right-winger, so the idea they aren't allowed to express their opinion wherever and whenever they want is what triggered them, not the substance of your community.
Surely we must all fit into right or left wing. Surely.
Ah, so you’re a centrist, with no moral or ethical principles. Got it. Instead of being a Nazi, you’re just a Nazi collaborator.
Oh right my bad, forgot about the third group. Yes, surely we all must fit into one of these containers. You sound like a child who's upset they don't understand the adults conversation.
I'm not the snowflake bitching about being banned. I got nothing to be upset about.
I'm not the OP, and I don't care if my account is banned. Not sure what's got you confused.
The content on your communities is triggering me, as well is the way you treat people as a moderator. Apparently they are your communities to do what you wish with though so have at it.
