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.

MODERATORS
Be that as it may, there's still usually multiple trials, judges, reviews, juries, appeals, etc. and a long stay on death row before that state violence is allowed to be carried out, as opposed to a single man determining in an instant that someone's life has to end and carrying out the execution. Opinion on the death penalty aside, there is a difference between saying someone should receive the death penalty and saying someone should be executed.
"I want my political enemies killed," versus "I want my political enemies killed by my political allies."
Very nuanced.
Why list "trials, judges, reviews, juries, appeals" all of this as if it's more than one thing that often times doesn't work. Most of the convictions in the US are plea deals, they literally put you in a jail and tell you to say what they want or they'll make things worse and the only way you can avoid this is to have money to make bail.
If your boss steals from your wages you have to jump through hoops to try and get it back and they don't serve time. If you are accused of taking money from the company you are taken away by the state and put in jail till it can be proven you didn't. You can't expect me to trust that the system works in my favor when the system is clearly designed to not work in my favor.
I'm very aware of the flaws in the system. I'm just as disillusioned with it as you seem to be. I'm not defending the death penalty. I'm simply saying that calling for someone's execution and calling for someone to be given the death penalty are different.
It’s not though.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree then.
I’m fine without agreeing with you.
That's okay. I hope you have a nice day.
Trying to pretend you're arguing in good faith. Lmao.
Holy fucking cringe. Reddit is leaking...
Good day gentleman. tips fedora
🤢🤮
I'm not pretending anything, but okay. Goodbye.
And that's why you're standing up for Charlie Kirk's call for execution.
