WOW

I expected mods outside .world, .ml and beehaw to be kind of normal. Turns out nope.

Does everyone here exist to further his agenda and just that?

Did people just forget that talking exist?

It started to feel like:

On Reddit, the highest crime you can do is working againest the Algorithm.

On Lemmy, the highest crime you can do is just saying anything that people might not like.

BTW, none of my posts on the gaming community was political.

I guess I will have to wait for further bans to come, to be 100% sure that I am currently using the right communities.

Context. (Not sure)

Edit #1

The fuck? They banned me from their entire instance:

It's an instance wide rule, not community specific. But given the commenter who used it didn't use it correctly (it's not supposed to be used to have the last word) I'm not going to ban you. Just because you are ignorant of our instance rules doesn't mean they don't apply to you.

I feel like this is a clarity weakness with the fediverse currently.

Communities are bound by instance rules and punish any user posting to them based on those instance rules, but remote users are never informed in any way about a community's instance's rules.

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.
