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.

He was selling weapons to netanyahu. netanyahu was and still is committing genocide. It became so obvious to everyone, even as someone as senile as biden, that the only thing those weapons were ever going to be used for was genocide. biden continued selling them anyway, in contravention of the Leahy law.
There is no ambiguity here. There is no "out" for biden on this. joseph robinette biden sold weapons for genocide. There was no other purpose. None. And you straight up lied on his behalf.
You can't get your underoos in a knot and ban me here. You can't use the banhammer as a "get the last word" button here.
It was obvious to everyone... but Biden. Like I've said in other threads, Biden makes up his mind and ignores all evidence to the contrary.
We saw it when people told him the plan to leave Afghanistan was a disaster. We saw it when people told him the economy was awful and people were hurting. His ideas about Israel are just another blind spot, a giant one.
Many reasons why there was no way he would win the election, and now here we are with "Get it over with quickly and build a waterfront resort on the graves" Trump.
No one is that stupid. He knew damned well that every last bomb he sold was going to be used to murder Palestinians.
It's the only reason he sold weapons and the only reason you are defending him.
