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.

Yes, an independent investigation source would be preferred. This was removed because the investigators were not independent.
when was the last time israel allowed independent investigations? they've been blocking those for years. I'm all for independant investigations of both sides, let's get the UN investigators all up in israel's bullshit. not just them, let's get the ICC in there as well to investigate israel and hamas.
Well Israel has had bad experience with “independent” investigations like the Goldstone report for example turning out to be misleading.
lmao "misleading", what a bunch of bullshit. there's a reason israel doesn't allow investigations or journalists into gaza to document. there's a reason israel targets journalists for assassination. they don't want the world to see their crimes against humanity, because their nation relies on welfare from foreign powers since it isn't capable of surviving on its own. if the people of the nations supporting them see that israel is as bad as the nazis, then that welfare gets cut off.
That's a good point too. I was lazy and didn't double check the organisation that ran the investigation.
What's "independent" .
I am asking because I shared a lot of times reports( about Israel crimes) from middle east focused entities and no one had told me they are not independent.
Like amnesty which their reports focus on all crimes regardless who commit it. Amnestry has report about israel, russia , iran, china , hamas etc
Amnesty tried to both sides Ukraine war lol
When they report crimes from both hamas and israel does it mean they both side the genocide? It's job is to report about anybody the agressor and the aggressed, the occupier and the occupied
How does amnesty "remove" abuses?
What abuses did Ukraine a tuallt commit? Didn't they back track on that once they got called out for being infiltrated by Russia.
I meant report abuses. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/08/ukraine-ukrainian-fighting-tactics-endanger-civilians
That doesn't mean they justify russian agression What is your evidence of russian infiltrating it?
https://lieber.westpoint.edu/expert-panels-review-amnesty-internationals-ai-allegations-ukrainian-ihl-violations/
No direct evidence but the sloppiness of the job they did on that report along with timing and how Russia weaponized I dictats to me that they were politically motivated to rush it out
No direct evidence is no evidence. There is over 500 publications about russian abuses in their website
Some valid evidences would be something like some employees has tweets blaming ukraine for starting the war oe justify russian war crimes or a group tied to russian giving big donations to amnesty.
Your claim is so ridiculous
