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.

You used a hard J
Not sure what that even means
Had a comment about Comcast CEO removed when somebody suggested that he was Christian Fascist when in reality he is a Jewish Neo baby.
Are we not allowed to call out Jewish CEOs shilling genocide?
No, anti-semitism should never be supported.
If you want to criticize zionism (as you should), then criticize zionists regardless of their religion. By far most zionists in USA are actually "christian".
Wait so you can call out Christians but not Jews?
A Jewish person isn't necessarily a zionist. You shouldn't hate someone simply for being religious (although it's often a red flag imo). The point is that people of many religions and even atheists can be zionists. The problem is zionism, not judaism per se. At least no more so than other religions. I think if you'd said "owned by a zionist" instead of "owned by a Jew" then it'd have been fine tbh.
hate?
I made a factual statement about the situation. Meta is heavily involved in supporting Israel and protecting it from bad publicity with on going genocide. Zuck never admitted to being a zionist, but meta's policies and conduct speaks for itself. Same with comcast ceo, but his media rags sure do shill Israeli talking points. As opposed to people like leon black, andelson or wexler among who went on record to admit to being zionists.
This is censorship.
Calling out people of any other ethnicity/religion does not get this treatment.
They are free to ban me, I am just documenting it. This is the red line for tankie instance lol
Listen, I totally agree with your general sentiment about Meta. But being ok with using "Jew" as a pejorative isn't where our instance (and obviously ML too) wants to go. That was the obvious implication, and that is antisemitism. Tbh I removed a similar comment of yours recently for the exact same reason just a few days ago. Like I'm hugely angry and frustrated at Israel and its enablers too. But don't stoop to using Nazi-style rhetoric against Jews.
Again, this was not what happened in either of these comments. These comments were targeted at specific people and their well documented conduct that warrants a discussion. Both are public figures.
You are free to censor my speech on your server but that the comment you removed about comcast ceo was in response to:
The censorship is uneven. Presumably, this comment would be also removed if the christian billionaire was replaced with jewish billionaires.
If this the state where we are at, that's what it is. Like I said, I am just documenting it. People can make up their own minds. But in my opinion, this is how we ended up enabling Israel to do its genocide.
