Jordanlund removed a post in news@lemmy.world because I, not even the post author, disagreed with his view of how moderation should work.
For extra pettiness, he removed my comments before removing the whole post.

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.

MODERATORS
This is true, but why is it that the audience in PTB seems to be a bunch of people with modlogs as long as your arm for hateful, homophobic, and transphobic comments across multiple instances and communities?
That's not one bad mod. That's a community of bad actors chafing against people who dare to tell them "No. Not allowed."
Response is always the Internet equivalent of the most Karenish Karen who ever Karened. "I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER!"
It's absolutely hilarious that you're trying to justify your behavior by describing my modlog, which summarizes a total of four encounters over more than two years, as "as long as your arm."
It's also notably pathetic, and wickedly ironic, since one of those encounters was with a mod who seemed to behave such as yourself, in a particular event involving an incredibly hostile vegan calling everyone cow-fucking rapists. Yeah, apparently that's okay, but asking them if they're a false flag because of how absolutely unhelpful that behavior is towards changing people's minds constitutes incivility.
Of course, it doesn't surprise me you would blindly stand behind any mod action. You honestly seem like the "might makes right" type, regardless of how small your "might" actually is. I'd be willing to bet the only reason you're here trolling like this is because the limit of your power is entirely within communities I've never once participated in.
Oh, and also, don't you dare ever spread such vile fucking lies about me again you piece of shit. I'm going to be directly contacting the administration of your instance about this.
It's not just you, it's, well, most everyone in this group.
Over and over again, calls for violence, encouraging suicide, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and when you get called out on your bullshit it's "Well I never! How dare you!"
Funny, modlog says different.
You want a mod to treat you fairly? Don't be an asshole.
You have multiple accounts with removals and bans for cause. It really looks like you just never learn:
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=10322262
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=521052
Thank you for confirming you were referring to me when you made those heinous lies before.
Yeah, not how it works. You know what it's called when police, government officials, and people with actual power behave like this? A crime. You literally just described abuse of power, the exact thing this community is designed to draw attention to.
If you actually put any thought or action into anything you ever did here, you would know how absolutely bullshit your statements here are.
First off, yes, I have multiple accounts. Four, in fact. If you paid attention, you would realize that two of those were on instances that shut down. But no, you have to try and imply that I burned accounts and moved on because of all my bans or whatever. A clear sign of someone with a quality argument founded in facts, right?
Let's go on and look at those "for cause" removals and bans, shall we?
I called someone out for being a bigot in a thread about Nexus Mods removing hateful mods (a look at your future?). The entire comment chain was blanket removed.
I received a three day ban from Lemmyshitpost almost two years ago for "incivility." Amongst my removed comments were maybe two I would admit we're uncivil. Otherwise, they were a comment about a sudden influx of a specific type of comment and voting being similar to nonewnormal brigades from back on Reddit, asking a user of their antagonistic behavior is really intended to influence people, and calling them out for trolling when they informed me they were just there to bitch. I was banned with zero warning, and as far as I can tell, only people on one side of the argument got these blanket removals. Very "for cause," huh?
That's the entirety of my first account and an entire year on the service. Two events total. After the shutdown of LemmyOnline, I moved on to FMHY. I noticed you didn't link that one. Maybe it's because there were no mod actions there? Well, that doesn't fit your narrative, so let's ignore it.
Let's move on to this account, shall we?
An argument about the privacy of people in dangerous situations that became mildly uncivil. I was of the position that a service collecting phone numbers and releasing them to the police could endanger people already in dangerous situations. Fuck me, right? I'm so evil. The entire thread was removed, not just my comments.
I was banned from Lefty Memes for calling out the harmful behavior of a certain mod who was recently also in this community. In the recent instance, another mod stepped in and agreed that, yes, that particular mod has overstepped. I'm proud of that one. The only major mod action I've ever had, and it was for a good reason.
Four months ago, I had two comments removed. Once again, these comments were made standing against transphobia and bigotry, as opposed to your narrative. This removal wasn't even an action against me, the bigot made an off-ropic thread which got removed.
Two months ago, I had a comment removed where I responded to someone parroting MAGA talking point quite rudely. I made some personal attacks that are about half as bad as the ones you've made in this thread. The removal message was simple, "attack the argument, not the person." I took the advice and made a new comment which is still up.
That's it. That's everything. You sit here, acting like anyone who's ever had a single mod action against them is a hateful bigot transphobe, and you cite the smallest matters, even one that prove the exact opposite, as if they're all you need. You don't even understand your own argument, but you keep making it.
To you, bigotry is clearly nothing but a weapon. Something you can wield against anyone who disagrees with you, screeching "Bigot! Bigot!" any time someone dares to call you out on your bullshit. It doesn't matter to you. None of it. Bigotry, transphobia , homophobia, it's all just a flimsy justification for your behavior to you.
I'm done engaging with you, your behavior has been nothing but revolting.
