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.

Israel is doing a genocide... I dont understand why the discussion always turns about how coddle western Jew feels about it.
They supported it when it was in vogue, now they took the Israeli flags down and doing damage control.
Either way Palestinian children are being starved.
That's the real issue... Not feelings of people who provided political cover for Israel for 80 years
THANK YOU
Zionist Jews started 80 years ago a COLONIAL PROJECT, bribing almost all the politicians and now they are carrying the last phase of the GENOCIDE, to create a JEWISH SUPREMACIST STATE.
While kids are starving I DO NOT CARE about the fate of judaism, now the focus is to save PALESTINIANS. If this means killing judaism to save STARVING CHILDREN, SO BE IT!
When the genocide is stopped and Palestine is again in the hands of Palestinians we can see what is left of judaism.
So you're saying you're ok with the genocide of one culture but not that of another. Cool.
No that's what you'd re saying. Learn to read.
He pretty clearly said it. I think you need to aim that comment at yourself.

That's what I thought
Because users with .de extensions keep bringing up Jews.
There is no need to appeal to Jews which claim their feeling are hurt because of anti Zionism, but that is not what happened this time.
